1997 328i Cabriolet Battery

["Alan Jaskolka" <ajaskolka@xxxxxx>]

Well, here is the scoop on the battery.

The OEM battery is made by a company called Douglas.  I got a tip on that from a
list member and spoke to them today.

The model for my cabriolet is called a "Group 92", vibrations proof etc.

Unfortunately, Douglas told me they do not sell this battery through their
normal distribution channels.  I spoke to 2 distributors today, here in Toronto
and both confirmed they have no stock.  One of them thought a "Group 93" would
do just fine and he could sell me one, installed for CDN$120 plus taxes.  The
dealer price: $220

I think I will probably fork over the extra $$$, just to be safe.

If anyone has a better solution, I would love to hear.
