where to plug trickle charger in?
i got a trickle charge for my 2008 335xi coupe. i thought the battery was in the trunk so i would connect the charger in the trunk. but the instructions that came with it say to put it under the hood. is that what everyone does?

yeah thats what the instructions say to do with the charger. the wall outlet is just closer to the trunk in my garage i can just buy an extension cord i guess. so there is no way to plug the charger into the trunk?

No if you do connect it in the trunk you risk damaging electrical crap. I believe you can't even hook it up to the positive in the trunk since it has a big ass cover with all kinds of connections.. Its just so simple hooking it up to the front I won't even bother in the trunk.
