Battery for 318 (E46)

[new2beemer]

I just purchased a second hand BMW 318 (E46). The original battery found in my BMW 318 (E46) 2002 January is DIN 80 (Maintenance Free Battery). But the spare part dealers in KL(Jalan Ipoh) have DIN 66, DIN 77 and DIN 88. The manual that the spare part dealers have, reccomend that the appropriate battery for 318 is DIN 66. I did check with BMW, who stock DIN 80. Original MW - RM 775. The spare part dealers are selling, Dunlop/Yokohama/Etc at RM 278/- for DIN 88. So we want to be sure of the correct spec before I proceed to buy.
