R56 battery change?

battery change?
My battery is more than 5 years old and im thinking of going for a replacement. Other than the batteries aging reason, I don't experience any problems for this change, but i think that 5 years is a good time to make that change, what do you think.
1. What specs must i be looking for my new battery?
2. Does a sunroof, an extra set of high beams (used seldom) and xenon head lights or anything else, have to do with the specs of the battery im looking for?
3. If the battery starts to "drain" should i be getting any signs of it failing?
4. How many years/klm do you have with the same battery
5. Will the batteries specs have to do with any future tuning i might do to the car?

I've see batteries last for 2 week, and I've seen others last for over 7 years. If it's working, it's working. If you suspect it's getting old, put a tester on it and find out how many CCAs have escaped. Most autoparts stores will put a tester on it for free.
Our factory battery lasted 5 years, and I replaced it with an Interstate battery that dropped right in. Just make sure you get a new one with the same or higher rating for CCA.

It is all felt in the Butt Dyno so believe Porthos.
Butt Dyno
$529.95
Just install a great mod like a cold air intake? Electric supercharger? Big Muffler? Magnetic fuel line ionizer? Awesome wing? Are you getting no respect from your friends for your newly found power? As we all know, these are high end and sophisticated modifications. Some may be TOO sophisticated to actually show up on a traditional dyno. So here we have: The Butt Dyno. Simply place it in the seat, and drive fast, weaving in and out of traffic. (On a race course, of course.) Now you can tell your friends with confidence "That oil-saturated air filter gave me 20 horses!"

You know you say but dyno but, this was at the same time I did a catless dp, catless exhaust, rear seat delete, and an Alta Stage 3. The only thing I noticed was the weight removed from the front end. Hmm I guess that is butt dyno.
