Your BMW X5 OEM battery is likely a Genuine BMW battery of the AGM type.
AGM refers to Absorbent Glass Mat. These batteries are sealed, meaning you never need to add water and they’re low maintenance. They are well-suited to high performance cars with advanced electronics.
Whether you go with an OEM or aftermarket brand, make sure to register your new battery if you have a BMW that is model year 2002 or newer. Registering the battery lets your car’s central computer know that a new battery has been installed. And this is important if you want to optimize your battery’s life and car’s performance.
