just wondering if anyone has used Odyssey batteries in their 318ti?

I have a 97 that im going to put a new battery in before the winter hits hard. (I live in Canada)

the Odyssey PC1200 (which is what the odyssey website recommends for my car) has a 5 second pulse of 1200PHCA!!! that's DOUBLE the minimum requirement for the M44 engine! after 5 seconds the CCA drops to 540CCA.

Other positives of this battery are (claimed) 3 times the lifespan of a wet battery, spill proof, maintenance free, and shock proof.

Seems like this would be the most amazing battery money can buy.

before I take the plunge and buy a $200 battery I was hoping someone here could share some experiences with them.
