The battery needs to be replaced and Im reading that the convertible requires a different battery because of fitment and other things. I looked up everstart maxx 94rn but cant find it on wal-marts website. What battery can I get for the car?

autozone recommends either of these two:

Would they fit?

From the Bentley Manual. Section 541-1:
"CONVERTIBLE BATTERY -
BMW has designed a special Convertible battery tray with link rods which serve to dampen body flexing and vibration.
CAUTION: The E46 Convertible requires a special battery which is designed for constant vibration. A battery not designed for this will fail much earlier."

"Type 94R Duralast battery from Autozone fits perfectly in the vert."

I wonder if the 94R was superceded by the 96R?

Why is it that when I search for it it doesnt show up? Stupid wal mart.
