Great post, I have had this problem for years, my BMW dealer "never heard"of this problem. The problem shows up in cold weather in my case, so I assume that the grease of the white pin will become less viscuous and make the pin stick. In summer, this problem with the loose shifter never...

Hello, I am aware of this forum since I have the car, and now and then checked it out for interesting posts. My car is now over 10 years in my possession, so I think it is time to introduce myself :giggle:. What can I say, still pleased with the drive and the range is holding up well after...

Good tip. Never saw the percentage of charge change significantly but I will check this. Is it possible that the 12v battery is just still fine and does not yet need a replacement?

My i3 from 2014 with 112.000km/70.000miles is still on it's first 12v battery. I never experienced a lock-up due to a failed 12v battery, but after reading this thread, I might do well by changing the battery. If the 12v battery is kept alive by the DC-DC converter, then it might be so that I...

While I am genuinely happy with my i3 bev and how it performs (no problems up to now, fingers crossed), the following thoughts popped up lately. It is very tempting for us as "pioneer" electric drivers to show off the performance "off the line" to other drivers and it is big fun to be the...

Great, thanks for the tips :)

Hi, the system will only measure tyre pressure when driving, it pauses measuring when standing still. When you start to drive again, it will continue calibrating. After about 10 min. of driving, the calibration should be done. I did this once up to now and was a bit puzzled as well. But it is...

The same here :( only back right wheel has rust marks on it like on the picture. I have no idea how to prevent it.

My experience is that the sensitivity to wind is very noticable at highway speeds, even passing lorries does influence the steering a bit, which reminds me of my old Vanagon camper (rear engine, rear wheel drive) when it is windy. Same behaviour :mrgreen: but less pronounced. Still, this is...

What has april 1st to do with this very important news? I think BMW has a secret weapon to oppose Tesla.... but wait :mrgreen:

Hello fellow members, Some more driving experiences from the Netherlands after 600km of driving. The car draws attention (sometimes even agression) from certain types of drivers with baseball caps and lowered suspension cars; pity for them I am a treehugger so I want to drive efficiently not...

@lecram Ok, some details: chargepoint in Rheden, Gelderland (E-laad AL230) where a phev volvo was already charging with blue ring around the connector. The point is provided by Liander. It recognized my charge card, I plugged the car in but the charging point did not recognize the car and the...

Hello dear i3 drivers and wannabees, As a brand new i3 owner in Utrecht, the Netherlands, I would like to introduce myself a bit. I received a capparis-white i3 BEV with standard interior and wheels last week, after a 3 months wait time (a very long time to wait for something so desirable). As...
