Place to buy F80 Battery?
My 2016/79k M3 threw a battery discharge warning today. Went out and drove around for an hour. Waiting till tomorrow to see if it comes back.
Pre-emptively looking around at batteries and trying to hunt down a place to buy a OEM replacement. Called BMW and they said they no longer sell them to customers and only do them through service center/their handy work. I can remove and code the battery myself. Googling the part number only returned a few places. (61218047221) Some of them only allowing local pickup due to hazmat. $1615 (total shipped + fees) seemed to be the lowest I could find for a new battery that could ship. Anyone know of a shop that has better pricing by chance? Not interested in other batteries. Want direct replacement.

My local dealer has it for $1395 but looks like they don’t ship as well. You probably need to check if any dealers in your area has an online parts store.

I bought one off eBay for $865.94 including shipping costs. Got lucky at 98% health per ISTA. Only bought it because the seller had pictures of the battery hooked up to a battery health capacity monitor thing that showed it was in perfect health.
If you can't find a good deal on a used one, definitely go the anti-gravity way. Remember the negative IBS cable.
