Spent a while working out my options. Unfortunately for me, the BMW supplied cable was about 30 cm too short to reach where I'd normally park. I also really wanted to get the brick part of the cable under cover somehow without having to lug it about each day and kick it under the car for some protection.
So looked at extension cables for both ends. For me personally, each had pros and cons. In the end decided to extend the type-2 end but wasnt particularly comfortable with the weatherproof-ness(!?) of the join of the two cables, and the lack of being able to secure the extension from being stolen... which when it was going to be well over £200 was a consideration.
So, for me, the Screwfix charger was a good find. Cheaper than the extension cable, and gives me a spare charger. It's now plugged into a (locked) external socket, the brick under the porch, and enough cable to reach the car wherever I park on the drive. Just gotta hope now that the quality holds out.
As matter of interest, which charge point did you go for in the end?
