  • Why doesn’t my M3 battery stay charged? A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. It may be getting old. Or, you may have a habit of leaving your car doors open and the dome lights on during the night. Stop in for a free battery check at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care and get a handle on your car battery’s health.
  • What do you do with my dead M3 battery? We recycle it! Nearly 100% of all lead-acid batteries are recyclable.
  • How much will replacing my BMW M3’s battery cost if I get a DieHard battery? You can find affordable M3 batteries by using one of our car battery coupons, when available. Plus, every DieHard battery comes with extra coverage thanks to DieHard Assurance and a free replacement warranty.
  • What is the average lifespan of a car battery? You can usually get three to five years out of your car battery. However, battery type, how well you maintain your battery, and your driving habits can all affect your battery’s lifespan.
  • Why is there white, flaky stuff around my M3’s battery post? The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your M3’s battery terminals is known as corrosion. Acid leaking from your vehicle’s battery post can have a chemical reaction with the air, leading to an accumulation of the white, powdery substance over time. Corrosion can affect the flow of electricity between your battery and the electrical system in your M3, possibly causing issues with electrical performance and starting. If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.
  •  How do I clean corrosion off my M3 vehicle battery? To help extend the life of your battery, you should routinely inspect and clean the terminals using a baking soda and water mix, wire brush, and rag. Be sure to disconnect the battery cables before cleaning and check your M3 owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
