    Update on KLE replacement problem

    My experience as well. But this is no different than other phantom BMW issues in the past. The SA needs a problem to fix. I'll prob just book a service appt for slow charging in a few weeks and that is more likely to get the ball rolling. It would be great if someone could post the...

    New i3 owner from Virginia

    Congrats! Just passed 1k miles on my BEV and I'm still looking for excuses to drive it. I went with mega too because I like the interior best. The wheels have really grown on me despite thinking they were awful in pictures.

    child rear car seat access?

    It works well for me with the rear facing infant seat. The passenger seat must be moved slightly forward, but it is about the same as my jeep grand cherokee! I can slide the bassinet in without tilting the seat, but i need to tilt the passenger seat to remove because the seat blocks the...

    Agreed, good idea.

    Advice on what options to purchase

    The most important option on this car is the tech/driving asst package to me. The full screen looks much better than the standard one. The active cruise is amazing if you participate in rush hour. Entering a nav destination accurately adjusts the range meter based on road/elevation/speed...

    Function Cover works as a SEAT cover as well

    Is this an accessory or are you referring to the privacy cover that is over the trunk?

    Radio stays on

    Is there any way to make the radio turn off when the door is opened? Or when the car is turned off? :?: I don't always need to lock my car and wasting battery playing music to my empty garage doesn't seem useful.

    Which EVSE?

    I just installed the Siemens VC30BLKB. Its 599 on Amazon now and includes the plug. Installation was easy. It has a delay option, a pause button and pulsing green glow rings when charging. :geek:

    My new BEV is home

    I am also learning it may be better to not charge completely if your destination is a free charger. For example, i left with full charge this morning to go 20 miles away. I was parked for 2 hours on a free charger, but could only take the 20 miles charge I just used. If I had not topped off...

    Going for an 185 mi drive today in my BEV .. Wish Me Luck!

    I am equating my BEV to be similar to having a motorcycle over distance. More likely to enjoy fresh air over Ait conditioning and planning stops with good coffee/food/wifi near by. Can't wait until DC chargers work their way up here.

    My new BEV is home

    Picked up my i3 two days ago. I travelled ~160 miles away to pick her up in the configuration I wanted rather than wait to order. Jumped right in with the public charging stations to get home. Chargepoint is very easy to use and has a great mobile app. I did have some trouble with a...
