Need help quickly ???

MY battery just died in Toronto Downtown today and my BMW E39's battery is in the trunk so nobody wanted to charge it because the sub box was to heavy and couldnt open the damn battery compartment.

I want to know where i can get a good battery for my car which will also supply enough power for my system.

I heard of this place called autozone do they have any. ???/

I called the F***** BMW Dealership but i was late for appointment today because my battery died . So they Rescheduled for NEXT WEDNESDAY. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGggggggghhhhhhhhhhh. I want to get this done quickly today because i am Very Pissed At BMW. Do u guys know any place's around Downtown n North York ????

places for what? a factory bmw battery?

those E38's and E39's are electrical disasters. You should have upgraded the battery first.

Yeah theres a guy here in Kitchener has a place called Urban Disturbance , he has alot of Optima's ( YellowTop ). He said that it can run my system and my car at the same time i dont know if thats true or not. But if its possible for that one yellowtop to run my car n system then ill get it 2morrow for sure .

Stick to the Optima.

Although Powermaster and Kinetik have some good offerings as well

Interstate Megatron. Yes, Father Yuli, I know its an Optima. But like you said, its the same battery.
King_Kong, you might have an easier time finding one of these. Find some Jiffy lubes. Also, the Interstate website has a very good listing of retailers. Worth looking into.
