We have the X5 time to charge set at midnight - 8 a.m. and ready for 9 a.m.. When I woke up at 4:45 this morning the X5 was already done charging. Love the setup works like a champ and nice to have a L2 charger in our garage.

BTW found out the BMW charger WIFI does not work in the U.S. only in China per others on different forms since December 2022.

The cost of the BMW L2 charger 600 and installation by a licensed contractor 1,300, which included 50A breaker with lockbar, power run, installation of the L2 charger, and inspection. BMW concierge wanted 2000. Pays to use local licensed electrical contractor that installs EV chargers.
glad you figured it out!
