1991 BMW 318 300 miles

My car battery is flat out, won't even start. I was wondering what type of battery should i get in the retail shops as i cannot afford prices from BMW.

HI there, my chart shows a DIN 66 for in boot battery or a DIN 55 for under bonnet applications, these batteries have a low terminal post and you can't use standard hi post batteries as shorting out may occur.
