When I did the first i3 test drive a year ago in a BEV version I was impressed with the ease of one pedal driving. A few weeks ago when I did a three day test in a REX version it felt like I was getting a fair bit less braking from lifting off the accelerator. While some of this may be attributed to the additional weight I have heard that BMW did reduce the regen strength with a software update. Do some of the better informed folks know the full story.
What I would like is the ability to dial up the regen strength for my day to day driving in San Francisco where the hills demand the use of the brake pedal and perhaps dial it back a bit when out on the road or on flatter terrain. I imagine this might be an issue with regulating agencies as the mileage data needs to be calculated based on a fixed set of parameters. I was not so disappointed that I did not go ahead and lease one.
