Expect to pay ~$350.00 every 2-to-3 years for a new battery. (2) Even the N63tu's still consume oil. Mine drinks a quart about every 1,250 miles. BMW calls this "normal consumption", and I have come to accept it.
My turned out to be a defective comfort access in one of the 4 doors, which was keep draining the battery when the car is parked.
