    Update on KLE replacement problem

    Has anyone started to get their new KLE installed?

    Speed limit detection setting

    I agree it would make this feature much more useful

    iRemote app improvements

    I would like to add one thing: Preconditioning should allow for two options: 1-precondition based on timer only if plugged in (yes/no) 2-precondition only if battery is over xx%SOC

    Self parking

    Works on both sides, tried it a few times in Montreal. However, I would like to know if anyone scratched a wheel using this feature. Mine usually parks half an inch from the curb and I usually "abort" the parking mission because I always feel it will end up scratching a wheel. I would feel more...

    Charging stations map update

    How can we update the i3 list if charging stations? I live in Canada near Montreal and recently, we got a lot of new charging stations especially, quick chargers. My i3 cannot see any of them so I am wondering how this can be updated. The car will then sometimes suggest a L2 charging station...

    Why I'll wait for the next-gen i3

    Well, if you want to vote with your pocketbook, you should change your vote if you want a perfect i3 in the future. If everybody is waiting for the perfect EV, it might never come because manufacturers will say there is not enough market to justify the massive investments in R&D. The more...

    What no front fog lights!

    Yes I was surprised too when I got the car, I was not expecting the high beams and the front flashers to be so 1990...when the rest of the car is so futuristic. My feeling is that the mid life model will have a redesigned front bumper that will eliminate those regular lamps. Every lights in...

    Please Seriously Consider a 4WD SUV for the i-series

    I would seriously consider a small iDrive 4wd SUV (or SAV as BMW would call it) something smaller then the upcoming Tesla Model X. I like Tesla products, I just think they are too big.

    iRemote app improvements

    I just posted a topic about the annoying double password requirement to access the iRemote app but I thought I would rather start a list of improvements that could be made to the app so here I my list of wishes 1-make password optional 2-show charging info (voltage, amperage, batt temp etc.)...

    Make password optional I iRemote app

    my iOS devices are already protected by a password so I don't understand why another one when opening iRemote. Nothing is sensitive in there - we can't even unlock doors... The worst thing one could do by accessing the app would be to precondition the car... I find this unnecessary password...

    Watching videos/movies while charging

    with the big flat screen in the middle of the car, is there a way we can play videos from an iPhone while charging? I have Netflix and I would be very happy if I could find a way to push video on the car's screen instead of watching it on my phone.

    Preconditioning seems to overheat the cabin

    The preconditioning is overcooling / overheating the cabin so you don't have to cool/heat so much in the beginning of your journey. It is not defective, it is by design and I think it is a great feature as long as you are plugged in!

    Why an i3 not a Tesla

    Size: test drove it up to my driveway and realized how big this car was. The test drive convinced me to go electric so the only other choice for me was the i3. Price: I thought the price of the Tesla was ok considering the performance and technology until I configured the P85+ with all of the...

    What should be the next "i", the i5 or the i6?

    Now that you drive the i3, you probably think of the next move BMW should make with the "i" brand to start working on the next car you will buy in 3 years from now. Like me, you probably don't want to go back to ICE age. We know Tesla is working on the Model 3 so what are your wishes for the...

    Traded an M for an i...

    I also traded my E92 M3 for an i3 BEV in May and I love the i3. Who would have thought so many M3 owners would switch to the i3? The acceleration of the i3 is awesome. Now I dream of an i6 (sports coupe) that would be no bigger than a 3 series with more energy density and Tesla-like performance.
