I was shocked yesterday to get a threatening email from BMW Canada telling me I must schedule a service appointment at BMW. First I have serviced my i3 myself during Covid as I am, 1) retired 2) cannot go anywhere so decided to do the routine service on my vehicles myself. If this is how BMW Canada...

I did a little digging and apparently the filters are part of the BMW Care Package for cars 2017 and newer. That coverage of course is 3 years/36000 miles.

So theoretically I should get 184 miles out of a full range. I never run the car dry so I never know. I do kn...
