I have a charger CTEX MXS 5.

For othjer who use this charger do you use the normal car setting or the AGM battery setting?

I use the AGM setting.

I think the battery in any start stop vehicle is AGM but you can check the label on it - it’s in the boot.

If it's for a current BMW you need the AGM setting to get the correct voltage, (14.8 volts), to work with the energy management and Intelligent Battery Sensor.

Or if you have the older mx 5 version like me then you need to use winter mode for agm.
