So I took delivery of my 2017 i3 BEV and strangely the navigation menu Points of Interest shows Fuel stations rather than Charging stations! Yes, if you dig down into the lower level menus under Car there is an option for Charging stations. My 2014 i3 showed me the Charging stations menu and...

Since Oct 5, my iRemote app does not provide me with updates. I'm not able to know the current state of charge and the last trip information is frozen in time. I've closed and restarted the app and called BMW Concierge and my service center. So far no answers. BMW Concierge called back several...

As I do not have many L2 charging stations that are convenient to my commute to work, and my apartment building does not allow installation of L2 units, I regularly rely on the occasional use charging unit that comes with the car. When I'm at work, I can plug in for the day and top off my...

So with the temperatures (and humidity) starting to dip, I'm trying to use less A/C and gain more range. However, the last few times that I've pressed the A/C button off and opened the window, I still find cold air blowing out of the vents. It seems that if I turn the HVAC system completely off...

So I finally got the March s/w update for my BEV, yes the one that shows SOC in % in addition to the bars. I can see how this might be useful for Rex owners, but for a BEV driver it's somewhat redundant. Everything seems quite the same otherwise. Of course I forgot to export my profile so I...

Is this much discussed update out? I called my dealer and he wasn't aware of it. Told me he'd look into it but I have not heard back from him. I have google alerts set for the i3 and saw a news item about a week ago reporting that an update was out for Rex owners. Anybody have confirmed...

Here are the results from Maryland's Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program (EVIP): http://energy.maryland.gov/Transportation/documents/EVIPWebsiteResults2.pdf I'm glad to see such a proliferation of DCFC in the mid-Atlantic area. And they are supposed to be operational by 10/1/2016.

I just happened to notice that when I engage the recirculate function--by pressing the button and having the right side LED illuminated--it reverts back to Auto (with left side LED illuminated) within approximately 30 seconds. My experience with every other BMW which I've owned is that it will...

So the folks at my office complex are kind enough to let me plug into a wall outlet every now and again when I am running low or need a top-off. When plugged in, I usually estimate my departure time so that the vehicle pre-heats. Today was especially cold outside, teens to low 20s, so I was...

Wasn't this supposed to be available to all i3 owners in 2015? How do we get the promocode to activate it? Hint: on the BMW i Remote app under settings (gear icon) look towards the bottom for a link to BMW Smart Charging which takes you to a web page requesting a login that then requests a...

Not to nit pick, but the image displayed of my i3 Giga on the app has the correct color rendition, but shows the 20" double spoke rather than the standard 19" propeller style wheels. Can this be changed? If so, how?

So far I've been lucky enough to find free charging around apartment building or work. Now my building is suggesting that they may allow me to install a standard outlet (L1) by my parking spot and pay for the electricity I consume. So I'm trying to figure out how much this might cost, in...

I almost always use the front wipers in auto mode: pressing the side button and having the green light on the stalk illuminated. I also have the sensitivity setting at the maximum (highest) position. However, I find that it takes quite a bit of rain to trigger the wiper to start, which kind of...

I really enjoy seeing how the camera automatically picks up the posted speed limit. With speed camera traps set up everywhere, this serves as a good reminder. However, what would really be useful is if I could set a driving limit, say like 5 mph, above the posted speed limit. In that way I...

Seriously, am I the only one to notice that when it's raining really hard the sound on my roof sounds more like lead pellets than water? I mean the first time I heard it I though that maybe the car was missing an insulation layer. Rain has never sounded this loud to me in any of my previous...

Notice occasional dropouts in reception. Not something I experienced very often in my other BMWs. Live in the greater DC Metro area. Any others with similar reception problems?

OK, is it just me or do others also feel that the horn sounds like that used by a circus clown? Come on now, I've owned BMWs for years! This is the best they could come up with for their latest technology forward vehicle?

I've used the feature a few times now, mostly for the novelty and the great reaction I get from my passenger. However, I've started noticing that the i3 pulls up quite close to the car in front at the end of the self-park session. It does not seem to center itself between both cars, but seems to...

I would really like to replace my GIGA Carum Grey floor mats with the Anthracite one's that come in the TERRA. Does anybody have the part number for these? Do they come as a set front/back or are they purchased separately?

OK, I'm familiar with Rest as I used it all the time in the winter. So how do I activate Comfort Climate?
