Subject: Need a battery?

Gruppe: I wanted to share a very positive "new battery" experience with everyone that might be searching for a new battery. My '88 M3 had the infamous Interstate battery in it when I bought the car 6/96, so I don't know the age of the battery but it was beginning to die. After reading all I could on the Digest re batteries, I decided to blaze my own trail to Batteries Plus (a Wisconsin Corp., but retail stores in 27 states). Not only were they extremely helpful and knowledgeable, but they had replacement batteries for all Roundelmobile models made by Douglas Battery Corp., the maker of original BMW batteries! I paid $69.95 for 625 cold cranking amps + $9.95 to extend a 2 year warranty to a 6 year total replacement warranty. If you have a Batteries Plus in your area, seek them out!
