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.

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!
