Well after trying it tonight, nothing but the damn blinking red light. I don't find power to the lighter, wiggling the adapter NG. Is the jury out on this, or can you really only use the ones with the alligator clips to the battery or the other hookups I've seen on this site. If the one with the plug to the lighter is NG, why the hell do the fools at BMW sell this type? The pushing of the start/stop button etc. does not work for me. Anyone have success with this plug-in charger on this model BMW or is this E92 really designed to be cold to the lighter with the power off?

The IBS (Intelligent Battery System) in the e9x applications will prevent this type of charger from being used. You'll need to go directly to the terminals on the battery itself or underneath the hood.
