Hello everyone, So I am in a mission to find some internal specifications pertaining to 60Ah battery modules. It is a salvaged module that I’m planning to use for some other application with a proper DC-DC power electronic converter which I plan to build leisurely. However, BMW apparently...

Hi everyone, So there was a Drivetrain Error which Cropped up out of the blue and required a visit to dealership. Following are the errors that were indicated by ISTA+ They have replaced a cell module that was overheating for which I paid partially. However, the problem is that the car was not...

Hello, Has anyone got a used BMW i3 climate cover for sale? It's available in amazon for $144 https://www.amazon.com/…/B00L…/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_mx7lvb1RC2PS1 But i just wonder whether anyone of you who got a used one in good condition that you don't use anymore and is willing to part with for a...

Thanks a lot! I'm gonna read and find out a bit more on the task at hand and will give it a try. :)

Hi! Thank you for the idea. It might actually work. I never considered sliding it as i was refering to the newTIS and was always considering how to do it in an inrestricte manner with more degrees of freedom. The question is how heavy is the battery and whether it can be handled with a single...

Hi friends, I’m looking at a 12v battery replacement and have read a few informative posts about the same here. However mine is a Japanese domestic version where the arrangement under the hood is slightly different as you can see in the pictures. The battery is located to the right of the frunk...

Hi Bob, These three are the recurring ones. i mean the at least those reappeared after the brief test drive we had. Since the vehicle is back with the current owner now, i dont know how many of those have reappeared by now. In fact this is not a salvaged one. Someone that had been...

Hi fellas Appreciate it if you can go through this error list and tell which ones are fatal and which ones are harmless. These are of a vehicle I took for a diagnostic test today (prospective buy) I posted about the same vehicle last week as well...

No no. i just want to check the condition of the High Voltage (HV) battery (and the electronic modules). I fully intend to replace the 12v battery once i buy the car (if i buy) Correct me if i m wrong. Based on what you said, I guess having the car in "READY" state will recharge the 12v...

I guess so :) and i just hope that that alone will resolve these problems. The question is how to verify whether it need any additional work (like hv battery repairs / electronic modules etc...)

Thanks! In fact, I was keen to know your opinion in particular and I was hoping that you would reply. I wonder whether there is a way to determine the health of HV battery in this condition without replacing the 12v battery. Because the vehicle is not mine yet, I don't want to replace the 12v...

Hello everyone, Can someone explain to me the meaning of these messages? This is from a 2014 BEV that I went to inspect (a prospective buy) 1) ”Increased battery discharge when stationary. Start Engine. If the problem recurs have the problem checked by Service.” (on the main screen)...

Thank you everyone for comments ! I had not heard about -6% REXs before. Based on what you guys say i reckon the its highly unlikely that the HV battery of this car would be damaged. :)

Hello everyone I guess we all know that it is bad for HV battery to remain in a low state of charge (SoC) for an extended period. But I’m curious as to HOW bad it is. I mean would the battery of a vehicle that has been idling at an open parking lot (at temperature of say 85 F) for 2months in...
