    thanks for the explanation of init BC. This is exactly what i was looking for and it appears to have done exactly what i needed! Did you track / observe any changes over time?

    Samsung Gear watch with BMW i Remote App

    Thanks but that doesn't apply to me as I chose not to update to Tizen. Regardless, I recently learned from BNW Group, that it's only available in the German Gear App Store, despite all those press releases in the US, Canada and the UK!

    Good info. So with the max amps the i3 can handle on DC being 125A, how much faster would an 80% charge be achieved with a charger that can output 125A, verses a poorer unit that sends out a max of 110A @ 396 / 397vdc. The DBTCEV ones I use all top out at this lower rate. I have heard that ABB...

    Kent to South of France in i3 REx - am i mad?

    No, your not mad. I've done the journey from Folkstone to Paris twice. Once in a REX, then in an i3 BEV. Both approaches worked well. Just make sure you follow the iDrive Nav precisely. A wrong turn could be problematic ;) Note that the CCS Combo Rapids, are only available along the coastal...

    First week with the new toy

    Have you heard of the guy from Ireland who put an extra battery in the back of his i3 BEV, and runs it like a range extender? Can't remember where I read that but there were pretty good pics of the setup. Before you ask about safety, he hired an automotive battery manufacturer to design and...

    Has regen been reduced

    Unfortunately, regen strength has been reduced at least on the BEV i3. How do I know this ? I've driven an early i3 and a newer 2015 i3. The difference whilst in EcoPro+ is massive between the two. I'm sure it can't be beyond the wit of man for them to give the driver the option to select the...

    Adding second J1772 receiver in frunk

    Has anyone noticed the Chademo socket in the Frunk of the Japanese version of the i3? Requires a frunk basket that has the hole in the back for the socket... The parts are available on realoem.com or similar.

    let us know how it goes on Sunday. I need London Gateway on Monday. Have you tried selecting Chademo at the first opportunity, followed by CCS, and repeating that sequence until CCS works? Apparently @dbtcev has mucked things up. Worth a tweet if you still get nothing.

    Activating LIM button in i3s

    You need to be in at least Eco pro mode for LIM to start flashing on your panel, and stop you going past the set speed. You can defeat it by flooring it for a while. If LIM isn't working for you i suggest checking it out at your dealer.

    Tire blowout in the first 48 hours of ownership.

    Anyone know the answer? Costco are doing a great deal on the 175 tyres so would really like to do it if it's possible (as the door sticker claims) and getting Costco to do it won't invalidate the BMW servicing pkg and warranty?
