Yeah, I'm not totally sure. I can't tell that anything was done except replace the fuel pressure sensor, wash the car, and charge/top off to 100%. I think the battery capacity is at around 73% if I'm understanding the information they've given me correctly. My service advisor couldn't answer...

My car has 50,500 miles on the odometer, and is a July 2014 build. I've done DC Fast Charge not too much, maybe 10 or so times, and never to 100%. My car is subject to both cold (below freezing) and hot (90-95 degree days) in the course of the year, but my AC compressor is strong still, so the...

A generic answer. I should’ve asked the service advisor more questions. I guess I can call him back tomorrow. I had to have a family member pick my car up so that made it hard to talk to someone about it. Do you think I should call them back?

Okay, so I was charged $150 + tax for the battery capacity test. There was also a recall on the fuel pressure sensor that was done at the same time. I can not tell that anything has changed. My batt kappa max is still 13.8kWh. I'm going to try to do a full charge again tonight and see what...

As a small update, when I dropped my car off, I was quoted $150 to do the diagnosis. If the diagnosis fails, then of course that diagnostic fee is waived by the warranty.

Yeah, I will. I want other people to know what my experience was like. On another anecdote, I drove my car last night from 100% to 4% SOC, my EVSE claims that it put 12.93KWh to the car overnight. Even without thinking about charging inefficiencies, this paints a sad picture for my car's...

I'm selling the i3. It's kind of sad in a way. I really like this car for cruising around town. It's served me very well too when driving in the mountains with winter tires. I am really set on having an AWD car. I very much prefer EV at this point in time, and so I splurged on the Model S. :o...

It made zero difference in the batt kappa max. I'm not sure if that is because of the ISTA version I used, or if my battery is just that far gone. In the next week or so I'm going to contact my BMW dealer about looking at the battery. For the moment I am waiting on delivery of a Tesla Model S...

As an update I performed what I think is the re-initialization procedure using ISTA+ 4.14. I now put it on the charger and will see once it charges to 100% overnight what the batt kappa max is afterwards. If that didn't make a difference I'll try to hunt down a copy of ISTA+ 4.10, since that...

Before COVID-19, I was commuting 25 miles one way (50 miles round trip), mostly freeway driving at 80MPH, with a 1000ft climb at the end of the trip on the road to get up the hill to my house a few times a week. With the lost battery capacity I would get down to 10% every day, if I took any...

Long time since I've posted here. My Batt. Kappa. Max is now at 13.8 KWh. What should my next step be? I seem to recall that there was a battery re-initialization procedure available in ISTA+. The other thing too is, will the dealer look at the car for free? My 2014 should still be covered by...

Nice, Thanks!

The CAPTCHA must no longer be working right, either that or the registration system got compromised. There is just way too much spam on this forum. I ignored it at first, but they generated about 4-5 pages of garbage threads, burying the important ones. Someone needs to address the issue. BTW...

I must say that's surprising. Last I heard Deka world didn't show up in the USA until half way through MY 2016. The order and spec sheets for 2014/15 cars certainly do NOT have Deka as an option. This is certainly interesting. It's not totally out of the question, however, that BMW did a special...

It's like the economy car, sure they're made if you look at the spec sheet, but when you go to a dealer's lot it seems like all of them have the premium package! My guess is when your BMW dealer ordered inventory i3s, they looked at how many upgrades they could put on them before the price would...
