Eco pro mode is now limited at 65mph, I think before, it was 75mph, but i've never understood the point of Eco Pro mode anyway if you have eco pro+ also, its definitely slower from 0-10mph

fair enough, I use mine everyday in the city, with the best will in the world you can't drive without brakes with all the cyclists trying to have an accident in front of me, and yet the loan I3 I had didn't do it at all, but it didn't sound like anything serious so maybe glazed pads or something

does anyone get a metallic noise when you apply the brakes at parking speed, i.e. shuffling back and forth into a space, not a squealing but if you press enough to stop the car, it almost sounds like metal on metal at the point the car stops. there is no problem when its driving or at any other...

ok I realise this isn't everyone's cup of tea, but in the manual, and in a friends new 335D bmw it shows that in the bmw online there is an app for your share portfolio so you can get it on your screen set up from BMW online, does any other I3 have this under the list of Apps, its not there on...

yep, i'm getting this all the time, I thought it was when I was on a phone call, but this morning happened twice with no calls, no nav running just the radio on, going in for that and a squeeky steering wheel next week

There are some bugs in the system, for example, I have 2 samsung galaxy s6's one for work one my own, if you allow the Idrive to have access to text messages, then they get confused and continually pair and unpair, if I have both paired at once, and a call comes in, it crashes the Idrive...

yup it died, hopefully soon to be fixed!

Has anyone else experienced this, happens all the time now, when I make a call via bluetooth, at some point in the call the centre display will shut down and reboot cutting off the call and becoming really annoying, I tried the software update from the official BMW website, tonight i'll delete...

I've used the same 7Kw charging point 20 or so times, and every time I use it, it is a lottery of how long it takes to charge, yesterday i went from 14% full to fully charged in just over 3 hours other times i've been about 55% full and it takes 6 hours to get fully charged! can anyone shed any...

would like to see a photo of the carbon one when fitted!

i've used mine in some pretty wet conditions and regular jet washes, i've never found any water or damp in there? am I just lucky?

yeah true, only people with problems post, hundereds with no issues don't go on to say mine's wonderful etc, and to be honest I think mine just had a glitch that cleared itself and now seems fine

well I got mine back and as far as i can tell they basically said there is nothing wrong with it, they had the Rex running on maintenance cycle there and it may have been a 1 off, the warning was pretty clear that there had been a failure and send it back to BMW but they think its all ok, what...

its in for other work, they said all the aerials are the same and that it could be due to me having a phone charger in the car??? interference! erm right - basically saying they don't have an answer.

When I turned it on it was just in the start of the 3rd block ( i'm assuming 25% per block) therefore should be ok, all the warnings flashed up and it said go to BMW service etc. I drove to work, called them, they downloaded the errors and said yes we need to have in the workshop, when the guy...
