It's taken me a while to notice this behaviour (having had the car for nearly 5 months) - up until recently I just thought it was inconsistent. If you try to drive off (either in D or R) with the driver's seatbelt unplugged, the car alerts you to manually release the parking brake, however, if...

I've had my i3 for slightly over 2 months (1.2k miles) now, I've noticed a few little niggles that have been mentioned on the forum (such as the loud clonk) and also these... Reboot Whilst Driving Luckily this has only ever happened to me once. Everything rebooted with the exception of the...

Reckon BMW would retrofit the front parking sensors? ;)

Any alternatives to the £165 offering by BMW? Seems a little much considering you get a whole wallbox for £315!

The charging light when plugging the car in: https://vine.co/v/MWxl7zu0e5K

When I unlocked my i3 this morning, the light around the charging port flashed red, and despite charging to 100% the night before. It had preheated from the battery this morning as opposed from the wallbox. Not quite sure what might have caused this, it had rained overnight but I'm pretty sure...

I'm still waiting for the dealership to come back to be with a quote but I'm wondering whether anyone managed to take out gap insurance with an i3 on a lease (and if so how much did it cost)?? I'd also be interested to know if anyone considered (or has) taken out the electric packages. They...

Does anyone know how much energy (approx. in kWh) the preheat process consumes? I know this is going to vary depending on the ambient temperature etc. Might try to watch my OLEV meter tomorrow morning.

I just stumbled across this on the BMW i3 accessories shop: http://www.bmw.co.uk/en_GB/topics/owners/accessories/accessoryDetail.accessoryId=9243.html Seems like a handy accessory if say, like me, you have your wallbox in the garage and the cable coming out a notch in the frame ;) I wonder how...

Does anyone know how long it takes for the connected drive stuff to be setup? Looks to be a manual process so I'm hoping perhaps tomorrow (I only picked up the car on Saturday... little bit impatient!)

Just wondering whether anyone else is experiencing delays with their order? Particularly if you had a build week of 52? Mine was confirmed built on the 27th December so I was given a date by the dealership of the 16th January. That date then slipped to the 28th January and again yesterday to...

Here in the UK, the majority of our homes have 100amp connections to the National Grid, however some only have 60amp connections. In a future where we all charge our cars at home, for homes with multiple electric cars that may need charging simultaneously, theoretically 2x 7.4kW chargers...

Does anyone know if it's possible to change the lease mileage after you've got the car? For example if I chose 8,000 and soon after got a new job, longer commute that totalled 12,000 a year is it possible to change (avoiding the excess mileage cost)?

Does anyone know if it will be possible to replace the standard headlight bulbs with similar LED bulbs? Little bit gutted I didn't manage to get the adaptive LED headlights but this seems like the next best thing!

I've just had confirmation from BMW i that my order was built on 27th December :) I've been quoted a delivery date of the 20th Jan by the dealership. If anyone's interested the spec is: - Non-REX - Ionic Silver - Loft - 428 Alloys (has anyone not ordered these?!) - Pro. Navigation (FOC) - DC...
