Hi,
The BMW accessory power socket is a great idea as it is a handy power take-off and a handy power in point for a float charger to keep the battery topped up. When I got my K100 I popped in to the local dealer to buy a plug. I was offered a Hella plug at about 1/2 the price of the genuine BMW one and bought both as I wanted two plugs. When I examined them closely I found the BMW plug was far superior in build quality and had a cable grip for strain relief of the wire connections which the Hella did not. I shall not buy any more Hella BMW sized power connectors the genuine article in this case is worth the premium price.
