Is there a BMW approved or recommended trickle charger anyone is using?
FWIW I tried to search but repeatedly got an error.

My dealer includes a trickle charger with the new car, for $599 (CAD). For the past few cars I've had them remove it from my order as I was developing a collection, ha! Also, there are very good after market chargers available for a much better price. (CTEK, can be found on Amazon)
This all said, I rarely have used my trickle charger. When I parked my car in an unheated garage and travelled for more than a week in the winter I used it as a preventative measure. My car now is parked in a heated underground parkade, I've never had an issue starting my car after not using it for a week or two.
