By the way, my trickle charger is connected directly to the battery terminals at the back, should I reconnect the at the front ?

I thought the red and black poles under the hood were provided by BMW for "convenience" and traditionalism, but some other electrical threads here scare me !!!

I Don't see it being an issue, however all the wiring is back there and the points in the front are there for convenience and safety (wiring etc). Question that I have is who installed your trickle charger in the back? Do you plug it in from the back too? or does it run all the way up to the front? Seems like a lot of wiring.

Who is your dealer if you don't mind me asking?
