    Which Home Charging Station Do You use?

    We bought the Clipper Creek HCS-50 (40 amp) in January. It is the plug-in model which is handy if you move residences. It provides more current then the i3 will accept, but thought it would be good for the future. The unit is not fancy and doesn't have a lot of the options other EVSEs have, but...

    Going down an icy, slippery hill

    Gaining experience in these conditions really is key. I drive down a long street with a significant grade every day. This winter it has been very icy for lengthy periods of time. I find, as well, that the regen disengages when it detects slippage. I am usually going slow during those times, so I...

    Average mi/kWh for 94 Ah i3

    I live in the interior of British Columbia, Canada and the weather here is colder than Vancouver. We've had a cold winter with temperatures dipping down below -20 degrees C a number of times. I drive our BEV on EcoPro most of the time and park it in our garage (so don't precondition). In the...

    Charging cable not releasing

    According to Plugshare, you should have a DCFC with CCS at the Uptown Shopping Centre on Sannich Rd. Someone checked in yesterday evening.

    Winter Tires - CAUTION: DON'T MAKE THIS MISTAKE

    I am interested in the tire pressure comments. I have the winter tire package that BWM installed when I bought the car last January. I'm pretty sure that the pressure was lower than the recommended 33 psi front and 41 psi rear. I swapped the wheels (summer to winter) myself this fall and the...

    i Remote app not updating

    My i Remote app will not update past November 30. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? I've considered deleting the app from my phone and downloading it again, but am concerned I'll loose my previous data. Any suggestions?

    Canada

    Before we bought our BEV, I was told by a sales person at the Kelowna dealership that they would have i3 certification this year. Kelowna is much easier to get to from Kamloops, then is Vancouver. However, after we purchased I wanted to confirm this, but Kelowna said that there were no immediate...

    Canada

    We bought our BEV from Brian Jessel in Vancouver in December. Delivered by flatbed to our home in Kamloops in January. Last week I had discussions with a BC Hydro rep who is working on installations of DCFC units in BC. There will be some announcements soon! I believe they want to eventually...

    Sound system

    The Harman Kardon system has a very nice clear, crisp sound. It also has very good low end. Having said that, I noticed it doesn't quite have the fullness that the enhanced sound system does in my X3. But then it has 16 speakers.

    New to forum

    I'm not aware of restrictions on sales in Canada. Certainly the dealer in Vancouver knew where it is going since they paid for delivery by flatbed truck. There is a BMW dealership that is closer but don't have the "i" certification yet. Oddly, I was told by them that they would be getting it...

    New to forum

    I'm new to this forum, even though I had read a lot of posts before purchasing our 2015 BEV. We bought at the end of December and received delivery by flatbed truck in January. Have been driving for 3 months now and put on just under 3000 km (urban only). Can't get enough of driving it and it's...
