F10/11 - correct charging?
Some conflicting advice re charging - some say to charge only at the jump start points under the hood so as not to mess up the intellligent charging system, others say you can charge by connecting directly to the battery. What's correct? My BMW garage answered by telling me that either way worked fine, but I'm still not sure that's the right answer. (anyway, the battery seems to be pretty well tucked away below the trunk and hard to access).

Use the under hood charging points. My dealer uses them exclusively in their showrooms when the vehicle electronics die from customers opening and closing doors over an extended period.
Its also so much easier.
Manual refers to them on page 300 ?? of the 2012 manual as well.

Battery tender and charging/jump start point

Especially since winter is upon us!
