I forwarded your post to our BMW tech, he should be with you shortly.Sorry for the wait
There may be a bulletin for an upgrade for this condition. I request the last 7 characters of the VIN to check this as a possibility.
Sorry for the delay. (old parents you know). The last 7 digits of the VIN BE26577. Thanks John
No bulletins, but you can't leave BMW cars sitting for several weeks and expect to come back to the car and have the battery charged enough to start the car.
Can he use a solar charger via the cigarette lighter? They have no lack of sunshine down there
Thanks,
John

If the lighter works with the key out, yes, that will do fine.
