So, just to clear things up. It's a rather easy thing to do. I simply bought this good piece:

It's a rather simple socket with a fuse which can take up to 10A and wired it directly to the battery. So it's enough to charge the Laptop and power the tire pressure pump. But you have to think about unplugging everything as it obviously doesn't shut off 15 minutes after ignition-off.
But still - it's ridiculous that BMW only allows 5A on the standard power socket where other manufacturers easily allow 20A. There are many things right with the GS - but many small things are just very annoying for that price tag.
PS: I've also got a gearbox failure after 10k km and now I'm stuck in Ankara.
