As the 3G network has been ( or being ) phased out, the older ( pre2017) i3' s and many other cars using the same technology are facing frustrating issues ... Apart from 'guessing' if an i3 uses 3G or 4G telematics control unit (TCU) Is there anyway we can check in the iDrive, or Online to get the c...

Congrats on your new-to-you i3 Rex! The BMW app is still working, but you're right your car is 3G, so depending on the cell provider in your area you may no longer have connection to the car anymore. Do you mean by "charge range" the estimated miles/kms the car provides in the bottom righ...

Mine is a Sep 2016 94Ah. purported to be 2017 Model Is there anywhere we can check whether an i3 is on 3G or 4G. Perhaps by entering the Vn number , etc? Also, I use MyBMW only for a few functions, like, to alert me when it is fully charged check vehicle status check car location presumably I might ...

So far the battery behaviou...

It will be interesting to know if any i3 enthusiast has Upgraded their 94Ah battery to 120Ah in the UK.
If so what are the problems, and the final cost of conversion if carried out professionally or by BMW dealer.

(assuming that the old good battery can be traded in for recycling?)
