I took my e46 to the stealer when the battery was dying, thinking it was covered under the CPO warranty. After they had the keys, they said batteries were not covered. So I asked for the car back. The guy was incredulous. I said I'd go get a battery at AutoZone and put it in myself. He said batteries and brakes were the two things I should ever ever consider going aftermarket. I told him BMW doesn't make their own batteries or brakes and laughed, took my keys and left.
