this charger only draws 1.5amps.

Can you explain the bold portion?
Block heater (Yes, I know BMW doesn't recommend them), Zero (Arctic) weight oil, and a solid battery does wonders in those kinds of temps. Routine -30*C temps is just one of the way this place earns its "WinterPeg" nickname....
While this last point is more of a "provisional". Try using mid or regular grade fuel in the X during those extreme cold snaps. It works for some, not for others. I can say, however, that in my case, in the extreme cold here (-30c which felt like -40..or colder) the X fires quicker with regular grade fuel, than it did when I ran premium. Running shell's V-power (yeah, the branded gas discussion that's been hashed to death....But I use shell in all my rides) in those cold months caused the X to stumble for a second or 2 after it fired. The local dealer here even had a bulletin on the service counter about using lower grade fuels as they get inundated with cold start issues during cold snaps that usually boil down to shit just being too friggin cold here.
