    Please fix the Shuffle/Random software .

    My 2016 i3 has a checkbox for 'Random' . With music on a USB memory stick this Random function works as the description would suggest . After playing a song in the chosen group or list , the next song to play will be any song in the group or list including the song which just played . The same...

    12V Battery maintainer circuit

    I think it would be possible to have a 12V Battery maintainer programmed to turn on for a short period (1/2 hour ?) whenever the vehicle is turned off . The DC-DC converter would need to be on during this .

    GOM for Range Extender should not decrease

    For those of us with Rex models we have 2 GOM readings . One for the Battery (same as BEV) and another for the Rex . Even though the Battery GOM decreases along with reduced BATT.KAPA.MAX , I think that the Rex GOM should not lose as much expected range . Let me know what you think .

    Make REX start optional .

    For occasions when a charge station can be reached using part of the last 6% of Battery , I would like to have the option to not start the REX . Different scenarios arise for this . Range miscalculations , a busy or out of order charge station are 2 to mention . It could be put in the 'Menu'...

    Left rear Brake Light Malfunction

    Intermittently , I'm getting this indication upon braking of either kind (Regen/Brake Pedal) . I'm going to test for the light today and most probably book another appointment . Early research indicates that each side in the back has a circuit board with LEDs mounted on it .

    Restraint System - Consult nearest Service Center

    Restraint System - Fault in airbag , belt tensioner or belt-force limiter . Continue wearing safety belt . Consult nearest service center . I got this alert right at start-up . Just a thought that it might have had something to do with the pulling of the seatbelt to fasten it in place ...

    Does the motor drive and regen braking have some different Modes ?

    What I've noticed during Brake Regen is that there seems to be different modes that the system will use and I will suggest that it's dependent on a combination of the pedal position and the current speed . With the pedal in the same Regen position , different speed ranges seem to have different...

    A programmable Intermittant Wiper capability .

    I believe that this could be programmed without the addition of any hardware . It would utilize the single sweep position of the wiper control arm (ie. pushing down on the control arm) . 1. To activate the intermittant mode you would press down on the control arm and the wipers would sweep...

    My 2016 i3 , 60 Ah (all options including Rex) started in Hope (elevation 41m)with a very full charge (all bars lit but no green at charge port yet) . At the Coquihalla Summit (elev. 1244m) 47km away , the display showed 46% SOC . At the top of Larson Hill 26.5% , at the bottom 28.5% at which...

    Custom car cover did not fit .

    I ordered a custom car cover through Costco.ca . The manufacturer was Coverking . From what I could determine , I believe that the antenna pocket , on the roof center near the back , was positioned too far forward by about 4 inches . I could get 1 mirror pocket and the antenna pocket on but...

    EV vs. ICE

    My apologies that this is not a video but only an idea for one . Two cars pull up to a Red Light , side by side . The ICE vehicle driver "revs' his engine while looking at the EV driver . The EV driver at first doesn't know what to do , but then pulls out 2 wires , that presumably are...

    Grabat , Graphenano , battery technology

    I'm surprised that there has not previously been a thread started on this topic . [url]http://grabat.es/en/[url] . The biggest question , perhaps , is ' Is BMW one of the European Manufacturers that is testing the product ? ' . The next question would be ' What range could this give our i3 s ? '...
