I stopped by Sears today to ask about an Optima Yellow top. They said they cannot put any Optima batteries in BMWs because they require ventilation... which the trunk of the bmw does not have. He said there is a ventalation tube that bmws have for their batteries, but optimas do not have a port for these valves. Any suggestions? Those that have optimas, what have you done?
