    key fob dead

    It says remote control incorrect key. Our car has a 4 years warranty Yes? So the key fob should be a free replacement? Thanks

    Driving on snow

    Ya you would think that BMW must have done all kinds of driving in different weather conditions to think a on off regen button is in order?

    Comfort mode

    I would think BMW would have default it to eco pro .....just like D on most car and if you want you can then switch to sport. ...comfort mode. Unless there's way to program it to certain mode?

    Comfort mode

    My wife has her own car so she seldom sit in the i3 but every time she's in it and said " the comfort mode is not very comfortable" and i went to investagate and realize the comfort mode should be called sport mode because the throttle response is very sensitive and it pulls, i found the eco pro...
