While it did not test batteries in the appropriate sizes for the e60 there were some interesting findings in the November 2009 issue of Consumer Reports. I'll try to pdf and share relevant information when I have time later this weekend.

I'm also in the market for a battery. This will be very helpful.

I've posted a pdf about CU's car battery tests in the DIY section of the forum

I had AAA Roadside Assistance change my battery.. He did it in about 20 minutes at my house. $140 for the battery, $4 labor, $10 old battery disposal fee, plus tax.. $167.32 total.
