I also have 2004 530i and my battery died last July. I had AAA Roadside Assistance change the battery. I don't remember the brand.. it's just the one the AAA service truck carried.. $140 for the battery, $4 labor, $10 old battery disposal fee, plus tax.. $167.32 total..replaced in 20 minutes.

I was told i should get an Optima Battery, anyone ever try this brand. I hear good reviews from everyone who has one.
