    Where to get software patch for REx sustain charge to 75%

    I used their USB coding to eliminate the legal disclaimer and change the startup animation on my M235i. Absolutely no complaints. I'm not sure what they offer for the i3, however.

    BMW Labs Widget and the IFTTT website

    The garage opener button on US cars is located on the bottom edge of the rear view mirror; there are actually three buttons in all and each can be programmed to execute a defined HomeLink function. See: http://www.homelink.com/home/welcome

    Connected App suddenly stopped working?

    Whats the best lease deal ever?

    Yes he did; the payment is actually $99- $6 is state tax. BMW employee discounts played a roll as did BMW FS loyalty. My state offers no EV rebates.

    Whats the best lease deal ever?

    I'm assuming a two year 10,000 mile/year lease from another employee at my BMW center. I'm paying him his upfront costs($900 down, $1050 MSD) and I will keep the $1050 at the end of the lease.
