Dont think it will be possible to register it then, but pop into BMW and ask.

UPDATE you can run a normal battery on it but has to be the correct rating for it to be registered....the one i put on is not

BUT i rescued the old one and charged it up all ok so hopefully the dealers are fitting that as they want £130 + vat for a new one! Airbag lights off £70 + vat
