First you find out what's broken, then you fix it, not the other way around. Besides, if you get a battery you'll need a diagnostic repair tool like Bimmerlink to register it.

Withe proper care, which includes using a maintainer if you don't drive much in winter, a battery may last at least eight years. Mine is approaching seven, and it's as good as the day it was new.
Yeah thank you, i do agree with you. Just wanted to when people usually change their battery.
Mine lasted 6+ years on a daily driver. These batteries are pretty big so they can accommodate the stop/start system. They are otherwise oversized for such a small engine.
