ii) spend your money on a trickle charger, which by the way we (BMW) will sell you. Oh, and we (BMW) will charge you (the customer) 2x what you could otherwise pay for the same thing from a retailer like Canadian Tire.

wow...glad I don't live somewhere cold like, oh I don't know, CANADA!

What a scam.

Buy that charger from Crappy Tire...don't give BMW any of your money for this.
Don't worry, they are getting nothing from me. I will borrow one, but you've summarized it well.
