Thats because we cant afford to buy 11 z4's!!!!
I see, well yes, that could be a very valid reason although the price for a start-stop battery is considerably higher than a normal starter AGM battery. I had a good look at the Carly product this evening, its seems very interesting. One thing it should have included is the ability to code our E-brake when it faults. Mine did it and a lot of other owners had the same problem, you can have a look in this forum. If Carly would have been able to reset the E-brake, it would have been golden for me. That said, I still think its good for our z4s.

Talking to one of my customers and club member he specialises in building industrial and fork lift batteries, etc.
I mentioned to him about coding car batteries.
He said you should code, because different makes have different size plates inside, cheaper batteries have thinner plates that may not be able to take the charge rate of a more up market battery.
If replace like for like probably ok, but different brand may need recoding.

???? But coding has nothing to do with brand?
It’s only to do with ampage and power output regardless of who makes the battery? Coding/registration doesn’t know how big the plates are, it just needs to know the battery output so that it can input the correct levels/rates of charge.
I’m installing an 80Ah / 800 amp battery tomorrow afternoon.
It’s around 4cm longer than the standard one, but there is a separate mount securing point for it so I thought I would give it a go. I have Carly so will code the car for the upgraded ampage/CCA myself.
Note- just today, Carly have updated the battery registration module to make it even simpler to use. They have also added functionality to set the electronic parking brake position.....
