After reading this I went back to
my car's manual to re-read the thing because I never saw anything in the manual about insufficient battery charging with short trips.
I then did a PDF search of the manual to find anything related using five different search terms (battery, distance, driving, charge & short) and still came up with nothing.
Do you by chance have a page number or section for this in the manual? I think it might be relevant when I discuss this with the General Manager and/or BMW USA. Thx
