Are you certain of this? Doesn't sound normal. I would think programs should be retained in non-volatile memory?

Those of you who are using the BMW car charger are you hooking it up to the emergency + under the hood or directly connecting it to the batter in the trunk?
Under the hood, The positive is under the red plastic clip and the negative is the lug near the drivers side strut tower. Never charge directly from battery.

What does everybody recommend for a battery charger to use at home to keep my battery fully charged? Costco offers a couple for about $60...I'd love to get some first hand advice.

I actually bought the charger for my wife's '06 330i. She drives mostly short distances and frequently got a low battery warning. However, since the last software update this seems to be solved. So far I never had to use the charger for my 550i (13,000 miles in 9 months - keeps the battery always well charged
