Until the i3, I owned my cars. When I did the lease a year ago (30 month term), I was working from home with a daily commute under 5 miles to take my daughter to daycare. Now, 12 months in, I'm probably heading back to an office where the daily commute is around 30 round trip. I'll obviously...

Has anyone dipped their toes into the new Labs widget? Activated it yesterday and I'm not totally sold on the implementation and usefulness as it is. Main problem seems that the widget has to be selected in the split-screen for everything to kick in. This leads to a delay on start up (which is...

Have people been seeing increases in their insurance rates? My premium just jumped over $200 and the reason esurance gave is a recalculation for the replacement cost. Wondering if others have seen a similar change when renewing.

I'm looking to go solar with either a purchase or PPA (which would essentially turn into a purchase down the line) and I'm trying to understand the differences in these companies and panels. Using the estimates of several companies, the basic outline is to get a system sized at approximately...

Just moved to a new home and need to get my EVSE wired. The panel is ready to accept the circuit; main cost is running the wire, which has been estimated at 240' (panel is on the back of the house and the wire has to run along the exterior and dropped 1 story before reaching the garage). I got a...

Anyone tried to improve the base audio system? It's my own fault for not researching before taking the car and in hindsight would've gotten HK, but I gave too much credit to BMW that the base audio would've been better. Also, on a lease, so I'm not looking to redo the interior. Just hoping...

For the Southern California residents: I see EV parking is available at LAX. Anyone used it? Is it available for long term parking?

One of the major things about switching over to electric was to not have to pay for/use gas. Going into my third week with the loaner ICE, I'm having to pay for gas again, which raises my operating costs for the month, on top of getting a base model car vs. the loaded one I leased. For those...

Anybody heard of a DLE on board? Service adviser just called and said they have to replace it (there are apparently two variations) and the part won't arrive for 3-5 days. First google searches came back in German, so ill take a closer look later? But wanted to see if anyone had heard of the...

So I had to take my REx in last week because the Check Engine light came on, after the restraint light had turned on and off a couple days prior. Thanks to the app, I've been able to keep tabs on the "progress" (did BMW realize I could now stalk my car?): sat for 2 days, then moved briefly, sat...

My family is new to So. Cal. and we have a weekend trip to Palm Springs this weekend. Have an option between the REx or 428. If I take the REx, I'm going to need a stop on the way back (not sure if the hotel we're staying at will allow for charging), but, since I don't have the DC Fast, it'd...

Pick up my car from being tinted today and the check engine light was on. Friday, the air bag light came on, but turned off on its own. Going to take it in ASAP but wondering if anyone else had a similar incident after only 800 miles? Have had no other problems so far.

So I leased the REx as I didn't want the range anxiety of not having the gas available. Hindsight, I should've gone with the BEV and taken the DC Fast charge. Moving on from that, I haven't had to use the REx at all. I know that the car will cycle the REx itself, however, what should be done...

Curious about the drain on the battery for preconditioning off the charger. I'm not plugging the i3 in every night because a) I don't drive enough daily to warrant it and b) the stupid Level 1 charger can't charge fast enough to stay within off-peak electric hours (level 2 ordered!). Not sure if...

Greetings all! Just traded in an X3 for an i3 yesterday and am really excited to see what it can do. When I did the test drive, I had my daughter with me and was a little distressed that her car seat did not fit tightly in the back. She's big enough that she's using a booster seat along with...
