I use the jump start terminals in the engine bay. Again, I do this because the charging will be detected by the IBS (intelligent battery sensor)...thus reduce issues of it not understanding any unknown changes in the battery's voltage:

The pic below is of an M6 engine bay...but the terminals in my regular 650ix are in the same locations...as well as being in the general vicinity on the 6 cyl models, too:
