The BMW e36 uses an H6 group size battery. Recent BMW models have switched to a bci 48 battery, which is compatible with the e36. It can serve as a suitable alternative option. The cost of the battery replacement parts ranges from $80 to $185, while labor costs between $103 and $199 if you opt for a professional mechanic's services.

    The original battery for the car was either a BCI 92 with 6 cylinders or a BCI 91 with 4 cylinders, both equipped with a vent tube. The more recent BMW models now use the BCI 48 battery. These are compatible with E36 cars, so many repair shops suggest using them as an alternative battery option for all E36 models.
