If it has alligator clips, and you like supporting your local BMW parts
counter, it's in the same ballpark, imo.

Agree that BMW's does look like some tenders Deltran has on their website, minus the BattTender logo, plus a BMW one... I do NOT care for my local BMW parts counter. If the BMW tender has no technical advantage over the BattTender, I don't see why one should pay about $30 more for it.

Thanks for the advice.
