If it is 48 volt hybrid you would need somethg aground 25Amp. This has been widely discussed. I gor Ctek PRO25S, but NOCO 25 Amp will also work. Looks like with CTEK there less issues. Need hood open or will not charge.

This topic has been discussed in these forums. For mild hybrid, 5 Amp may not to charge it, it may but will take forever or cause some errors. Also, BMW recdomends at least 35amp chargers, but when reasearching 25 Amp chargers are ok.
