I need a new battery for my 320i Convertible.
I have seen a Bosch AGM type, are they any good for cars?

I have an AGM battery fitted to my Ducati and
it's been great.

AGM batteries are useful if you park your car up for the winter, with the battery still in it - they withstand cold better than a 'wet' battery and have a lower self discharge rate, but, other than that, there isn't a great deal to be gained.
