Fill in the blank: I should buy a new battery at ________
E30 is about to come out full time, and that means I can't steal the battery from the M3 for a weekend like I've been doing for 3 years. 
Where should I go? Size? I used to know the exact one I wanted at Sam's Club, but they vanished.

Die hard from an Active Green n Ross location, not sure if all locations carry them, pickering town location should have them since they are attached to sears. Walk over n ask!
Or find a distributor for interstate batteries. I don't know anywhere local.
I bought a motormaster one for the m3, it works, probably ain't the best choice but it died in a go parking n didn't care much at the time.

I looked up the Interstate battery website then searched for a local independent to bring it in.

Aaron, how much?
Trev, lol, I think I just might do that. Already spending my work day posting on here, may as well take a walk too.
Last time I bought an Interstate from Lakeside and it was like $155. Same battery I saw at Sam's Club for $87 just before they shut down and took my membership money. Hoping to find a similar deal, might see what Costco has.

I think it's any group 93 battery.
Wal-mart has optimas. But they're 75dt's which are universal.

yupp its not in thier system and because they dont have a batery listed for you car the warranty is void because when you fill out the papers you have to provide the info. i got into a huge argument with parts at ct last year.. its a big joke. ill probl go for an interstate.

Haven't found anyone that comes close to Costco. I don't think any of their batteries are over $100.

I don't have much to comment on, but the Motomaster jobbie in my car has lasted almost 5 years now, carried over from my last couple E30s, still going decent.
