90ah battery?

Curious, has anyone installed a 90ah battery in place of the stock 80ah?

it's slightly wider, i think it'll fit.

does anyone know if you can code a 90ah for the car?

Group size 49 is what I am considering.

thx

Check the coding forums for that.... I know Carly can code for new battery but have never looked into it in details. The coding forums would tell you what's actually possible and would have been tested by many people on various cars.

Try reaching out to Carly, see if they'll tell you what they can code. No idea otherwise. Must people on here aren't as much into coding. Could also try E90 forums - cars are basically the same and there is much more support there, more people experimenting.

Just curious though, why are you considering the extra 10Ah? It's just 12% increase in capacity.

Curious as well.
Plus the batteries are already oversized due to start/stop junk.

I miss those days where I can just plunk a correctly sized battery in the car and drive.

i live in a colder climate and the slightly larger battery may provide a little more margin.
