Yep, I have roughly 4K of mileage with the first 2K(ish) from my daily commuting from December to March. About 800K on top of that is road trips since COVID-19 to San Diego and Northern AZ and the rest is mostly my road track (posted the thread on Desert Driving) that I do at least a few times a week plus trips to the grocery store, etc. which are all short distances. Hence, your less than 1K in 9 months is most definitely a factor in the potential battery situation.

Again, there are specific terminals (negative & positive) in the engine bay for hooking up a trickle charger or jumping etc.

Apparently the BMW version is compatible with both: https://www.shopbmwusa.com/PRODUCT/4...ATTERY-CHARGER EDIT: was able to cancel the CTEK and went for the BMW branded version one since it does both.

We only charge the car via the posts in the engine bay. I wouldn’t worry about the rest as the car software does the rest.
I would have to look at the Amazon listing again but typically lithium chargers can be switched to standard as well. Just a reset. This one will be a newer model than the MB/BMW ones. Btw, the only difference between Lithium and standard charging is that the charger stops charging when full on Lithium Ion batteries. |

Either way appreciate the guidance, and you are correct the LI is stupid money to replace. I spoke with my SA today and he said BWUSA will take the mileage into consideration and if it's too low they may not cover replacement. But, I explained we take the car out religiously every 10-20 days for a full 30 min drive which the car's computer can easily verify, hoping this will all be unnecessary and I don't need a battery. I was also told the standard BMW warranty no longer covers brakes, wipers, batteries etc. like it used to...this changed about 3 model years ago.

It may be worth noting that the fine print (my contract law history requires that reading) does not cover ceramic brakes whatsoever. Not an option on the M850i but may be valuable info the those seeking a M8. |
