Dude, i work for one of euro's main competitors. PM me your car's full reg no, and I will tell you exactly what battery should be on your car.

I can tell you right here and now that an 063 is no where near big enough. My 318 specifies an 065 which is 450 Amp.

At a guess i would say you need a 096 or 100.

I await your PM. As for euro, if they have sold you the wrong battery, then demand a full refund as the sale of goods act requires. Do not be put off.

John.

suspect it is a 096,but it still aint man enough.There own small print says so. S3 battery they say will do a 328,but in the spec it then says may not be suitable for bigger engined cars,WTF! How can it be suitable then not be,maybe some 328s have washing machine motors under the hood.

Have PM'd you the info. the 096 is the correct battery for the car and should be plenty big enough unless you have loads of add on electrical goodies.

If you go much bigger, it wont physically fit, you might get away with a 110, that's about 780 CCA if memory serves. They dont get much bigger unless you go to a commercial battery.

As for what NOS is, I can ony think of New Old Stock.

Don't take any waffle from the supplier, know your consumer rights, and make sure they know you know.
