I think the difference between yours and mine was the dealership I turned it into opted to buy the car from bmw fs instead of sending it back to bmw fs. I thought I was gonna get a bill as well but bmw fs didn’t send anything to me and when I called they told me everything was closed out...

Interesting quirk with owners chloice return... so I had bought my replacement car already and didn’t want to pay for extra insurance on a car I wasn’t using so I returned my owners choice car a month ahead of schedule. Expecting I’d have to pay the last payment and disposition fee which was...

Acc uses image processing and recognition to establish where the car its following is. If you read up on mobileeye’s technology you’ll find it uses some heuristic short cuts to achieve what ifs doing. It has a pattern it’s looking for and if it doesn’t find the pattern in the 2d image it...

lift up the handle as it tries to engage the lock... ccs won't start unless it locks.. the evgo handles are heavy and the lip that the lock goes over is just a little too high for the lock to engage if its just resting in the socket. just lift up the handle until you see the white plastic thing...

being in the chicago area, i've found that i've really never needed to do the Hold thing with the rex. Chicago is so flat that the 6% it maintains is enough that the rex can keep up with the energy demands. I coded it when i first got it, but then when the dealer upgraded my software, my...

He should take a strategy that the wine industry did during prohibition. They sold grape juice with a warning that said do not let the bottle sit in a cool dark place for more than 2 weeks else it’ll start fermenting and become alchohol. He could provide a jumper or switch that will put it...

From a required options perspective. From what I can tell if you have acc through the tech package you have kasfa camera. Is there a requirement to have pack assist? I'd imagine tja would need to move the wheel to steer the car; For those of us that do not have the park assist, do you know if...

Yeah no way the bulky i3 key. Hence I said I use my house keys. I live in a high rise. No direct access from the garage. Gotta use of these old tech keys to get into the apartment lol.

You don't even need any special tool. I just use my house keys. As long as the doors are unlocked it just needs a little help to move it back in. This has happened to me a couple of times now, I haven't found a pattern as to the cause but it's just a minor annoyance as I just grab my house...

the evse is just a power switch that advertises what the current capabilities are to the car and a really fast on/off switch. If the evse is reporting the error and not the car, it's most likely ground fault where the ground fault protection thinks ground isn't there or not wired properly. the...

I was in the exact same scenario as you.. i had 27 miles each way and no charger at home. I made the decision to go to REX and let me tell ya, thank god I did that... i probably needed the rex about once a week during the summer and more than that during the winter. it wasn't until i convinced...

if you have the summer performance tires, i3 is practically undrivable with fresh snow or ice... but once the roads have been clear then you're good to go... I opted to not go get a winter tire set since i have an x5 as well but i did try it once to see how it is... i'm sure with snow tires...

So I went down the juicebox route originally. I think they make a quality product but only if your voltage is a true 240 and not a 208. I live in a high rise and the juicebox refused to recognize that it was on a level 2 feed because my power feed isn't "clean". Due to line sag. My voltage...

It's not up to the dealer, it's on your owners choice contract with bmw fs. They have to accept that in lieu of the balloon payment at the end of the contract term. I read that contract in triplicate and there's nothing they can do to get out of that at the end of the term.

You can easily calculate that yourself. My i3 shows over the 13000 miles I'm at 4.4miles per kWh which works out to be 227whr/ mile or if you want to take it to kilometers as the article was in metric. It'll be 142whr/km. Multiply by the same co2 factor. And maybe add 20 percent for charging...

I think that actually is the point. DCFS are quick charges at the fringe of your range so that you can go out to the limits of your battery instead of reserving 1/2 your battery for the return trip. The only times I ever use dcfs is when I'm pushing the limit of the battery and making a trip...

jhu321 thank you for the info. I have L6-20 on the outside in the parking area. I have one more question and this is about the tires have you had any issues? I hear a lot of people getting flat tires and you know our pothole streets in Chicago. Thank you again. I have gotten 1 side wall...

i've had my i3 in chicago since may... during the summer i consistently get 70 miles on a single charge (my commute from downtown to schaumburg and back is about 70 miles) I'd have enough to make it home w/o the rex kicking in. unfortunately in the winter not so much... right now my...

everything is enabled in my iDrive.... any other thoughts?

First thing I tried was recode from the backup.. Didn't work though. I'm wondering if I'm not using the right psdz version?
