Probably missed this one and I'm sure it's been asked before. What battery should go into a 325 I sport? I have looked on line and it brings up Bosch S5, S3 numbers 096, 074, then there other batteries still with code 096 and 074. Please can anyone advise. The only difference I can see is cranking amps 630, 680, 720?
Lost! Regards Paul.

S3, S5 etc just mean the warranty length.
I went for a Bosch S3 096 from CP4L for £65 delivered.
Its a big old beast this one, compared to the one I removed from the car which was small (but still a Bosch 096).

Thank you for the info. I'm now better placed to buy a new battery.
