Or is it regular AGM? then it depends on the ambient temperature car vs. snowflake.

If I had a "power AGM" battery...then I would use the snowflake setting (Optima, Odyssey, or other).

If the ambient temps are between -4°F and +41°F...then I would use the snowflake setting.

If I were using the "car" setting and it was not charging my battery...I would then try the "snowflake" setting to see if things changed. If they didn't, then I'd consider it time for a new battery.

BTW, is this the original BMW battery, a replacement battery of a different brand...and what is the current ambient temperature range where the vehicle is currently located?
