Dear All, I3 is connected to a backbone via GSM if network is working fine. If connected to the backbone there are several functions available.. for example the update of new charging stations. Now BMW messed up on of these updates which lead to rebooting of you headunit (good question why...

Hi There, the range algorithm is not supposed to be understood by customers :) It in fact uses - data from last drives - actual driving behaviour - navigation data (if routing is active) - environmental conditions - ...? into considerationg to give you a number you don't understand, but that...

Hi, I agree. Preconditioning is heating/cooling to a higher level then desired. I like it. Why? I save even more energy for driving instead of sustaining correct temperature. And its pretty cool to jump into a really cold car at a really hot summerday. Best Regards, Dirk

BMW never used anything else then metric system for engine power out of historic reasons. Official value is based on SI metrics always (Watt, named after James Watt who introduced HP only as illustration to the brand new electric power unit named after himself :) 1 metric HP =735,498 Watt. (ISO...

Hi There, ICE power output is changing with RPM,Temperature,Air pressure, Gasoline Quality etc. etc. The rated ICE max power is a reliable output each ICE will have (except at >2000m altitude...) Now it comes to I3 electric motor... I have seen two diagrams 1. Torque [Nm] over rpm [1/min]. Up...

1. True, charging only starts after 95% SOC (approx.) to increase effiency (hysteres within charger logic). That is reducing range and is not really clever from customer point of view. 2. Please read the Info page in your App. 30min after departure time the function is turned off. 3. That makes...

Dear All, I guess BMW set a limit to be on the safe side. Even if you drove considerably more efficient the other day. I rely on consumption shown in the trip monitor. On a 100% charged car the maximum range is simply to be calculated: For me these numbers match very well. consumption Range...

EME = electric motor electronic DME = digital motor electronic (gasoline combustion engines) DDE = ditigal diesel electronic (Diese combustion engines) BTW: You towed the I3 with front axle hooked up? Has to be the other way around (see owner manual). The electric motor is connected to the...

...can imagine that... But you US customers want that panic button :) Here in peaceful Europe we have a nice programmable button at that position.

Hi Folks, if you are brave enough, detach the plastic covers completely. I did. ;)

Hi Cab, in addition to what has been said already: 1. oversteering comes very very late (caused low center of gravity) but very agressive (thin tires). If you switch DSC to minimun you can have fun, but its hard to be controlled. 2. Due to light weight (BEV) and instant torque of 160HP you...

can't see any difference to my F22.

Hi Everyone, the maximum electric power of heating/cooling device is roughly 5kW. Given a normal driving mode (around 10-13 kW/100km whilst average speed is about 60 km/h) aprox. 30% of your electric energy goes to heating cooling - if full power would be necessary all the time (for example in...
