hi not wanting to hijack the thread but I have a preconditioning question.... what I'd like to do is have the car plugged in and fully charged and then the battery pre warmed before the start my journey but set off with 100% charge is this possible? Basically can i draw electricity to pre warm...

I don't really understand people's obsession with the GOM. Saying that you lose range or gain range just because the GOM says so that morning is immaterial. Best way as a previous poster suggests. Look at your average over the time you have had the car... say 4mile/kwh and do the sums. Then you...

Hi, anyone thought of moving the numberplate so it fixes onto the grill area under the bumper... I like the look of the US fronts with very little on and wondered if anyone else had considered done it?

Hi thanks for the info... Can I pose another question and ask if anyone is using a longer cable than standard?

well they replied... said they don't like going over 15m due to the loss with increased length... now I'm no expert... but. I can't imagine the difference being that much... Any thoughts from you guys on this?

yep same here in sussex when cold 70 miles and minimal heating on... 80-90 in nice warm weather with minimal air con. Best was a 93

Hi I'm in the UK and am looking for a longer charge cable 32amp version. Would need ideally about 20m.... is there a limit to the cable length? I can only find up to about 15m. Has anyone had a custom cable made up or know of where to obtain a longer version?

i'm interested in this too!

I have the 19" wheels and would love the 20s.... I'd do a swap but you live on the other side of the world :-(

how do you get to the service menu... now i'm curious to see the battery status !

essentially I ignore the range predictor. If you have the REX you can see in percentage terms how much charge has been used... If you then look at the trip you can see how far you have been. If you have done 45 miles and 50% charge has gone you know if you carry on driving as you are you are...

I have a question!.... when it starts to get cold in the UK... (I know that's not very cold in comparison to some parts of the world)... can i set the cabin temp to warm up before I get in?... if plugged into the wall will it draw the elec from the mains rather than the car's battery? Or if not...

my rattle seems to come from the cigarette lighter socket under the dash. Anyone know how this is fitted? Would be keen to try and stop it rattling before I go insane. I can't see any fixings although there is a hole almost like it pops apart in someway.... hmmm

I plan on selling my 19" 428 wheels soon as I want to get the 20" wheel ... I'm in sussex UK. If anyone is interested let me know or if anyone has 20's and they want 19s ... prob looking to do this towards the end of the month (oct) rob

3200 miles no issues... actually saying that... i have a glove box thats a bit of a pain to shut and the cigarette lighter under the dash rattles... :-) apart from that all good. Very pleased.

I can usually get 80-90 most town and and some main roads 50mph kinda speeds... Max was 93 ... although I think I could do better if I really tried...

shame you aren't in the UK I have the 19" wheels and really wanted the 20"... we could have done a swap! ;-)

Something I realised the other day was if you have a rex and go to the section in the menus where you can switch on "Hold state of charge" there is actually a percentage figure of the battery remaining. To me this is much more accurate than the bars and if you are driving you can see how far you...

considering you would have had the rex on from 75% charge you have to go pretty mad to get the state of battery to zero. I think if I were you ... I'd try and stop worrying so much about what might or might not happen under extreme circumstances and relax a little. ... I'd say "go take a...

oh relax... I'm not immoral or "bad"... but this is a bit melodramatic. Not so much the safety issues but your reaction to people. Take a deep breath and speak to BMW rather than being frustrated with us.
