You need an 019 case format rated at 90Ah or higher, with a cold start crank capability (CCA) of 830A or higher.  Preferably an AGM type (Asorbent Glass Mat), or gel filled.

Luvvly, cheers
Looking on websites, it just states Calcium Sealed, where do I see if it's AGM or Gel filled??

Calcium = AGM.  Uses a Calcium/Lead recipe.  :)

That Bosch battery is exactly the one I bought for my E53 diesel, also from ECP (but I paid £140 at the time).
I killed the previous one by stop-starting in a traffic queue, since it became an offence to leave the engine running when stationary where I live. The Bosch battery apparently doesn't mind that stop-start, so I thought I'd have it.
No problems at all. Yet!
