I got mine from a starter/alternator re-manufacturing place.
They will have to order the orange top, unless they stopped making it (not likely), or as you said, changed the color.
Look at the red top. The positive is on the right, and negative on the left. The Orange top is the same battery internally (cca rating etc.), but the positive is on the left, and the negative is on the right. This arranges the terminals exactly like the factory BMW battery, so everything fits exactly the same. Since you most likely need to change the ground cable anyway in your car, the red top and a slightly longer ground cable may be the hot ticket... |
