hi

which is the right/best size bosch battery for a 2000 4.4i E53?. Dont have a clue what size is in there at the moment.

janette

Bosch S3 is 90ah

Bosch S4 is 95ah

Bosch S5 is 100ah

Any is good but S4 or S5 is best for the 4.4, go for the S5 from EuroCarParts with their discounts mentioned here:

thanks sanj

wont let me purchase the S5 from ecp, it states it wont fit my model, will only give me the option for the S3?

I'm picking the S5 version up today from ECP with the kind donation of a discount code offered by another member of the forum (brewer) I'm paying £84.55! On the ECP website, just put in the code for the battery, 444770198, and then 'MBCLUB25' discount code at check-out.

I'm sure Sanj is running an S4/S5, so should allow to purchase no problem.

I have the S4 it will fit and then some.

Hi

On the site it states its only suitable for the 3.0d or 4.6 or was it 4.8 well not 4.4i that was only letting me have the 3S

Halfrauds used to be the same on their battery selector tool until I took the E46 330Cd over to them and showed them what was in there. The tool said the battery was their code HSB019 (same as the X5 3.0d), when actually it was an HSB110 - which is only slightly shorter on the long side, but fits. It would not let me select anything else but the 019. After that they changed the site!! You may have the same lookup database error issue, but with ECP and for the 4.4

There is an S3, S4, S5 and S6 for the 4.4

I fitted an S5 in mine only last weekend, its the same size as the BMW original. Mine is a 2001 4.4 so it will fit your car

I've fitted Mine today and taken a few pictures as i did it if it helps ?

hi

thanks everyone, i went ahead and ordered the S5 using the codes provided all i need to do now is take it to have lpg tank removed for fitting

Are you sure battery is knackered? Have you had it tested?

Hi,

Not tested it no, but if I go to the trouble of taking the LPG tank out then I would rather change it so I know I've got a few years before I need to do it again, the tanks been in 6 years so I'm betting it's not been changed since then.
