THE DIFFERENCE IS GENUINE. Genuine BMW & MINI Parts are the only parts that are fully approved by BMW & MINI. Each one has been designed and manufactured to fit the exact requirements of your vehicle, ensuring the quality and performance of your BMW or MINI is never compromised. In the event that your vehicle needs a replacement component, choosing Genuine BMW & MINI Parts means you can be confident of the quality, fit, durability and function, and all at affordable prices.
PART SPOTLIGHT: GENUINE BMW BATTERIES.
The conventional non-BMW ‘hybrid’ batteries that are still being offered on the open market use both negative, calcium alloyed (PbCa) and positive antimony alloyed (PbSb) lead grids. Due to the superior physical and chemical qualities a calcium alloy would be advantageous on the positive plate. However, this was not historically possible as calcium alloy lead plates corroded more quickly. In a special process, BMW has made it possible to provide both poles with the same physical qualities. A special silver additive enabled the development of a grid for the positive plate as well as the negative grid, combining the advantages of the calcium alloy with high corrosion resistance.
• Long shelf life for standing and storage due to lower self-discharging. • High performance through good charging and good cold starting performance. • Long operating life (important for vehicles
with high electrical power flow rates) through optimisation to cyclical loads.
• Maintenance free through lower water consumption.
• Stability at low and high temperatures. • Optimal safety against leakage of acid and deflagration through special cover design. • Optimal recyclability due to the resistance of the robust, impact- proof, polypropylene housing against acid, benzyl, oil and salt water.
• Increased short circuit safety through the complex spot welding procedure by which connections through the cell walls are created. • Prevention of deflagration of explosive gases in the battery, since a central degasification dissipates gases that arise in the battery.
• Protection against corrosion and internal shorts through high-grade alloys.
• 2 Year Warranty on All Genuine Parts.
