Most of the time I drive within or close to electric range. Every now and then do a longer trip….last week drove 200mile R/T from Brooksville to Sanford to pick up an '04 Jag Vanden Plas….or like tomorrow I'm driving to St Pete….when the battery gets to less than 75% I turn on the range...

I have a 14 i3Rex, a few weeks after recoding with Bimmercode, the central screen has started crashing and restarting, about once a week, not sure if this is related to bimmercode. Normally, I am listening to Sirius/XM, screen goes blank says "NO SIGNAL" then appears to restart, with the BMWi...

thanks, I did not want to take the chance of bricking the car......probably will try it this morning..... I tried using Blue Driver with my Volt,,,,,and suddenly the main ecu had to be replaced, luckily under warranty..... Dan

does anyone know if the blutooth OBDII device from BlueDriver will work with bimmercode.....I already have it, emailed bimmercode but so far no response..... Chomping at the bit to recode my i3 REX for all the obvious reasons....:) Dan

Annual service? Dealer did service when the car was shop for a total of 13 weeks, after I first bought it, used. did not charge me as a courtesy....however car says next service is due May 2020, so it must be every two years?? Dan

RE Rex wont' start.........had this problem when I bought a used 14 REX still under warranty, the car was in the shop for a total of about 13 weeks, I did have fun with 6 different loaners..........they finally figured it out runs fine...........I never really found out exactly what it was...

This entire mess could have been avoided had the dealerhips sales staff informed the customers of the cars limitations, and the owners manual as well.....the manual was very very obtuse regarding the operation of the car. My 2015 Volts oweners manual explained just about everything and was very...

couple of questions,,,,,,,,,let's say I have no access to electric, will the car be able to keep going for say 10 days on gas only? (ie will it keep the 12v sufficiantly charged.... also, considering a 10 day trip if the car is in long term parking with say half charge,,,,will it last that long...

purchased a used i3 REX, loaded, 39,000miles almost two months ago. I have no idea what the base audio system sounds like, but I'm not impressed with the Harman Kardan......unless I have it adjusted wrong somehow. sounds no better than the regular GM system in my '15 Volt, or for that matter my...

Sorry for my Siri

I called BMW USA this morning they were to contact the dealer. Dealer called me and said they were doing it as a goodwill gesture. That's all well and good he gets replaced but I think it was a warranty issue. As I never left For the car or lights on. Maybe the previous owner? Car was dead when...

Thanks for all your help! Dealer says 12V battery has to be replaced for 500.00, not under warranty because I "left the car or lights on". Already talked to BMW USA they are calling dealer.....yes the car was on for just over 1/2 hr on the side of the road, hazards were on for over two hours...

this seems very likely considering the symptoms BUT, the car drove fine in the interim, rex turned on etc. That being said had not had to use the rex for over a week. The longer I drove it on electric, the more I worried about the rex starting....I realize they only sell a VERY few i3's in...

bought a '14 REX 2.5 weeks ago, it was towed yesterday for it's 2nd visit to the BMW dealer. While driving back from south Florida where I bought it,,,,,car died after battery ran out and engine would not start. While waiting for a tow, kept turning the car off and on, finally the engine started...

there are also videos on YouTube..........I'm interested in having the "hold" mode, as well as the full 2.4 gallons of gas available......I know BMW did this for some sort of California certification, but WHY could they just have done it JUST for CA cars.......for many years some cars were CA...
