what new battery
Re: what new battery
The battery is an 019 format from memory but the figures you quote are correct for a standard E70 battery.
You cannot just swap an E70 battery as the car is fitted with an intelligent charging system meaning it has to be 'told' that a new one has been fitted and what type it is. BMW can do it - and charge accordingly - decent BMW indys should be able to do it, or you can diy with something like the Carly App and adapter.

Re: what new battery
Can't help with the 020 as you will need to check the mounting plate in the car.
Varta are coming up as a good type and seem more reliable than the Bosch S4/5 types. Is the Halfrauds battery AGM? The standard battery type is AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) and not the older type 'wet' battery.
