The OPTIMA D35 Style 1 Battery Mount Kit is the ideal solution for mounting an OPTIMA D35 REDTOP or YELLOWTOP battery in your BMW. This battery Mount Kit fits E30 and E36 3 series (except convertible), and 2007-2013 E70 X5. We've seen some of the home-brew mounting options that have been created, so we decided to create a much more elegant, robust, and exact-fit solution.
OPTIMA D35 AGM batteries are ideal for BMWs for a multitude of reasons, and one of the more popular features is their lightweight design. Of course, with that reduced weight and technology comes reduced size, and that means that the factory battery mounts won't work. Many BMW owners will put something together that
sort of works, but it won't necessarily be an exact fit, let alone the safety issues of having a battery not securely mounted. At BimmerWorld, we can do much better than that…
We've designed and manufactured high-quality, chassis-specific, billet aluminum battery mounts for precise fitment of OPTIMA D35 batteries in your BMW. Our goal was to provide an exact-fit solution that would not require any modifications to or replacement of wires, and to do so with factory-quality components and BimmerWorld's renowned attention to detail. Needless to say, that's exactly what we've done.
The OPTIMA D35 Style 1 Battery Mount Kit uses factory mounting points and fits E30, E36, and X70 X5 BMWs. Fits E30s with some drilling of the factory plastic mounting tray (51 71 1 953 889 or 51 71 1 922 158).
We make D35 mounts for other BMW models. See chart below for all fitment options.
