The BMW E36 318i is equipped with a size 42 battery that should have a cold cranking amp rating of 495 CCA, which indicates the power it delivers at freezing temperatures to start the car's engine by rotating the starter motor. Nowadays, there are two main types of batteries available: traditional lead acid and the newer AGM technology. AGM batteries feature gel and glass mat components instead of acid and lead plates. Generally, AGM batteries have a longer lifespan compared to lead acid ones and do not require maintenance such as adding water. However, the downside is that AGM batteries are usually more expensive than lead acid counterparts.
