# BMW 3 Series battery in Málaga > Battery for your BMW 3 Series in Málaga: AGM, IBS registration and boot fitting with no appointment, in 15 min. Official Varta Distributor since 1999. Home › Car batteries › Batteries by brand › BMW › 3 Series The BMW 3 Series battery is 12 V, almost always AGM, and runs around 70-90 Ah and 720-850 A depending on the engine : 70-80 Ah AGM on the 320i and 330i petrol, 80-90 Ah AGM on the 318d and 320d diesel —many badged 48 V mild-hybrid, which still carry this 12 V on-board battery— and on the plug-in 330e a 12 V auxiliary battery that powers the electronics but does not crank the engine. The 3 Series has an IBS sensor on the negative terminal, so a new battery must be registered to the ECU, and on the G20 it sits in the boot.

We do all of that on the spot, with no appointment , at C/ La Orotava, 100, 29006 Málaga , without losing your settings or memories. What battery does the BMW 3 Series take?

"—" = data we confirm from your plate. How to tell which one your 3 Series needs Quick tip: on the 3 Series the battery isn't under the bonnet but in the boot , under the floor or in a side compartment, and its negative terminal carries the IBS sensor with a connector coming off it. That means two things: the car actively manages charging and needs AGM (or EFB on some F30), and the new battery must be registered to the ECU . You can step up from EFB to AGM, but never drop from AGM to EFB . The fastest way is to give us your plate; and if you're unsure whether it's the battery or the alternator, start with a free battery check .

Get a quote Signs the 3 Series battery needs changing - Slow cranking when cold, especially first thing on a winter morning. - Start-Stop stops working or the engine restarts by itself after a few seconds: the classic first warning on modern 3 Series. - Dashboard messages such as "battery critical", "resting energy low" or electronics warnings that come and go. - Battery changed recently but not registered to the ECU : the car still treats it as the old one, charges it wrong and it lasts half as long. - On the plug-in 330e, the car won't power up or reach "READY" even with the high-voltage battery charged: usually a flat 12 V auxiliary battery. - More than 4-5 years old. In Málaga an AGM lasts on average 5-7 years , less with the coastal heat.
