BMW 1 Series Battery Replacement Cost

Battery replacement is a major investment and requires a thorough consideration before you commit to one. The cost of the battery replacement can vary depending on many factors. If you understand those reasons then you can make a better and more informed decision.

A major reason for the cost fluctuations is the type of battery. Lead acid batteries are one of the most common types of batteries being used. AGMs are a little more advanced and last longer but Lithium-ion batteries are more costly and can take the cost considerably up. Vehicle make and model can also make a difference in the cost and battery size and capacity can also determine the cost. As a rough estimate, the cost of a standard battery replacement in your BMW 1 Series car is somewhere between £300 -£375 including the labour charges.

On the other hand, replacing the hybrid battery pack in the BMW 1 series can prove to be very expensive. Just like the standard battery, several factors dictate the overall cost such as if the battery is OEM or aftermarket, vehicle model and year, differentiating labour costs, and battery conditions and so on. It’s a complex operation to get the hybrid pack replaced and it requires state of the art tools and highly trained technicians. Typically this job costs around 3000 to 4500 which includes the battery pack, labour charges and small accessories required for replacement.

Choosing the Right Battery for BMW 1 Series

It is important to make an informed decision or get help from an expert before you buy the replacement battery for your BMW 1 Series car. Most importantly, you must know the exact model and year of the vehicle since different versions may require distinct battery types. BMW 1 Series equipped with start-and-stop technology requires a higher-voltage battery, and installing a normal battery could have consequences. Pay attention towards the Amp Hour rating of the battery which indicates the battery’s capacity to store energy. A battery with a higher Ah rating could enhance the performance and range of your vehicle. Ensure that the voltage specifications match the original specifications of your car.

A pro tip! Always go for a reputable brand known for its reliability and longevity. Those brands use quality materials that can last for years and provide an extensive warranty that gives you complete peace of mind and safeguards you against premature failure of the battery. It impacts the overall cost when you choose between OEM or aftermarket hybrid battery packs. As expected, OEM batteries are typically more expensive but are superior in quality and are made specifically for the BMW 1 Series vehicles. Aftermarket hybrid battery packs are inferior in quality and are hardly a perfect fit for integration with car systems.
