I'd not worry about it if you've got a 94Ah battery or greater. People over think this way too much.

I never understood why BMW shut down the i3 line. It's phenomenally stupid. The tooling was there, the design was there, the know-how and experience they gained was there. Frankly, they could have developed so many varying platforms with the i3 concept and technology just like Kia and Hyundai are do...

Hey folks. I usually use my BMW app to start and stop charging in order to control SOC. Up until tonight, I was able to turn off my charging by setting my charging status from Immediate to Charge in Time Slot and setting a departure time. Once doing that, the charging session would stop. Tonight I d...

Got it thanks

I have noticed this on a few occaisions whilst using a GeniePoint charger. I know my car (BMW i3 94Ahr) can charge at up to 11kW connected to a 3-phase 22Kw charger. Indeed the charger in question seems to deliver exactly that, at around 10.5-11Kw. However, and here lies my conundrum, my car only r...

Honestly the hassle of changing it yourself isn't worth it. Spend the extra couple of hundred dollars and have a dealer do it and have it covered for 12/months, 12k miles under new part warranty/labor coverage. All this jumping through hoops to change a battery, re-program, make sure it's charged, e...

Hello all: Has anyone successfully treated their headlight lenses for pitting? My lenses are somewhat pitted but not cloudy like you'd fine on older vehicles say 7, 8 years old. The actual outer surfaces are quite pitted but I'm afraid to perform one of those headlight restoration treatments since t...

But in every day situations where you need to overtake, zip in and out of traffic, etc. Sport mode makes a VAST difference in driveability. Thanks for validating what I expected the theoretical drag race would look like! But on this part, why a "vast" difference in driveability? You just ...

Honestly I'm not a fan of either.

There's a lot of contrary info out there on the differences between the two, and I think BMW purposely muddied the waters in the i3S press announcements talking about new bearing technology (which undoubtedly got passed down to all 2018+ i3 cars since there is no i3S motor or i3S gearbox. But there...
