This looks like a good option from batter tender.

I'll be using this for longer term storage during the winter and 3 to 5 days at a time the rest of the year. The BMW model will run me about 84 euro plus a bit more to get the alligator clip attachments. Does anybody know a place here in Germany that might sell the battery tender? I'd rather not wait for it to ship. Thanks for any help.

You local BMW Zentrum sells (or can order) one. I belive CTEK makes them for BMW.
Probably the easiest way to get one would be thru Amazon.de You only need a German (off post) address.
Do a search for
CTEK on
Amazon.de...
