    Road Tax Charge (UK)

    They or any country should charge tax on vehicles base on weight and how many miles driven. This is the only fair way to charge tax. After all its about road infrastructure and repairs. Then if you want to tax more based on co2 output that should be a totally different catagory. Then if you...

    diff/ e-gear replacement

    I have a BEV so I can see the diff. Don't think its that hard to pull apart and apply some sealant and changed out seals, $600 for parts? Due to tight space in REX(not sure), the labor involved might involve removal of either the engine or the motor to make room. Yes, there is only 500ml of...

    Coding questions

    If I may trouble you people some more. We have 4 tail lights, but only two on the trunk lid is used, unless you opened the tail gate, then the bumper tail lights kicks in. Is there a way to code this so we can have all 4 tail lights on at the same time?

    Its too late!

    I know, I know, but cant help to think if they could of, should of done scissor doors on the i3 and eliminate the two rear doors. Less weight big opening and out of the way, not to mention the WOW factor to match the futuristic look! Turns a semi negative (not to me) to a big possitive for sure.

    replace motor with others

    What about replacing battery pack with solid state battery when the time comes. Imaging double the range and half the weight,, give 10 to 15 years? Just about right to replace our aging unit, lol. Heres crossing my fingers!

    What's triggering this thermal protection when driving hard?

    yeah, but once the problem was found, BMW turned down the power and also changed the mount and never turn the power back on in fear of more liabilities, even on the new models.

    What's triggering this thermal protection when driving hard?

    42kw is slower because they reprogramed the car to save the plastic motor mount so the power is more of roll into it rather then punch you from the back. Thermal throttling is just bmw being overly cautious, I mean we use the same part in our inverter as Tesla that puts out 300+hp and capable...

    replace motor with others

    How many of you think its possible to fit something like a tesla motor for the rear wheel? I think we have plenty of space, especially a bev. I think the next mini will use the same motor as us, but have 215hp-245hp and might even bolt on with 150kw DCFC inverter it would be awsome for our i3...

    I can't seem to get the bimmer code to program the 3rd button for the front hood to open instead of trunk, any hints? I know one of you did it through the old post, but I tried your bimmer code but still can't get it to open the front hood.
