Maybe BMW needs to hire a Ford or General Motors or Hyundai engineer to teach them how to design a charging system.

Owners should let BMW know the design fault is unacceptable and BMW should acknowledge the fault and upgrade the car's software to permit proper operation.

Driving profile my arse... My 80+ year old mother has a 1996 Nissan which is used maybe twice a week for very short trips and it doesn't require a trickle charger... then again a Nissan engineer designed the car.
Then sell your BMW and go buy a 1996 Nissan. Problem solved. Whining here isn't going to fix it for you.
