Your definitely not alone from what I've read on here. Seems to be pointing to two possible causes,
1.not driving car long enough to get to operating temp. Possibly leaving condensation to stay/form around top half of engine rusting those components.

2. this ctek charger is possibly overcharging, could be damaging electrical components in our f80s due to constant max charge for a long period time. Or that valve tronic motor may not like a constant 90 percent plus charge for a long period of time. Who knows some cteks might have faulty parts or work a little harder idk iam no battery/charger expert. I commented in a different post how my ctek got kinda hot around stage 3 ,thought it was weird.
To Possibly prevent iam just not going to do short trips and run the ctek once a month. Get it going Sunday morning keep any eye on it charge to 90 percent pull the plug and repeat next month. I will see how it goes.
