Looking to lease. Had an i3 REX for 30 months and loved it. My current non BMW lease ends in couple of months and I am actively looking to lease an i3.

What you have stated makes a lot of sense.

Could you elaborate if you have the basic standard navigation or the optional professional navigation?

I noticed model year 17 is going to have standard live traffic. Does someone know if that will be offered in the base navigation? If so, has the base navigation changed from previous models? I recently got a software upgrade on my model year 14 and i now see a listing for live traffic in the...

I have 13K miles and for the first time i got a CEL. My rather basic code reader showed two codes; P0004 and C1555. The first one P0004 via web searches shows some kind of fuel related code but I can't seem to find the second code. Any ideas what these two codes mean? I did a reset and codes...

Thanks. I had already reviewed this page before posting this question. If BMW is listening, perhaps they could put this feature request in their next software iteration. The idea of connecting battery preconditioning to the departure time makes sense if customer is following a set schedule. But...

With winter here, i believe there is a use case for the feature that allows you to precondition now while the car is on a EVSE so both the batteries and the cabin warms up. The precondition on the app just warms up the cabin and I see no advantage to efficiency if the battery starts up cold...

I am the OP for this thread. After going back and forth with the dealership and after their repeated attempts to resolve this issue, they have gotten word from their "experts" to replace the Telecommunication Box. The car is with them and they will be making this change tomorrow. Will keep you...

What a bummer those of us in the US who have not coded don't even have this secret Range Extender option in our Settings menu.

I don't have this feature and i am just curious how does the camera detect stop signs and traffic lights?

The car is still at the dealership and i will send them a note to give this a try as well as part of their troubleshooting. BTW, they did "reset" the TCU and that did not fix this issue. Would reseating the fuse do the same thing or does that reset the unit in a different way?

Thanks for these prompt responses. I just now called BMW Assist and they too could not unlock the doors for me. So essentially, BMW Assist is having the same issues as my iRemote app. Just to be clear, i am seeing the following work correctly on my car from the iRemote app Current odometer...

I have been going back and forth with my local dealer and we have not been able to get some of the remote services to work via the smartphone app. Here is my situation I am situated in the USA. I have the Mega trim with base navigation. My connected drive portal accessed via the car and via...

Couple of questions related to the latest March 2015 software release. (1) Could someone publish list of updates that were included in the March 2015 update? The only one i have heard about is the ability to remove EVSE cable while car is locked. (2) Are there any known bugs in this update...

I agree with the recommendation posted earlier to invest in a smart EVSE as a workaround that can start and stop charging based on time of day settings. My current bare bone Juicebox does not have this capability and therefore i have to rely on the less than reliable onboard configuration to...
