Hello, I have a 2020 i3 since December, 4 times since I got the car I heard a loud knocking noise, and feeling a small shock coming from the rear of the car, the car was stopped or parked so it's not coming from the movement/engine. The first time it happened was when Bimmercode restarted the...

Thanks for the advices this helped me for the letter I made for my request. My local BMW dealer fixed the problem, as they diagnosed, the glass wasn't in it's holder that was stuffed with old pieces of shattered glass and they also noticed that the glossy trim on the front edge of the glass was...

I just had an explanation, I visited the BMW dealer, they immediately noticed that the glass was replaced and badly reinstalled, the pieces of broken glass are from the previous one and all the covers are misaligned. If anyone already had a such problem of bad repair on a BMW Premium Selection...

Hello, Today I discovered a small piece of broken glass when opening the rear door of my i3, I thought it was remaining from a repair from the previous owner. Then I noticed that the outer skin of the door was detached from the top, the rear tab of the glass that is in a clamp is broken, the...

I finally installed it, your advices helped me to know I was on the right way. The F4x fuse needed to remove the rectangular fuse holder to reach the blue rail that is hidden behind it, but this time I didn't have any errors. I guess the previous time the car wasn't "sleeping" enough to ignore...

I was asking because I did as you do without unplugging the battery and unclipping the fuse board from the cover and it seemed to me it was necessary to remove the rectangular fuse holder to move the blue rail for the F4x fuse but maybe I didn't see wel how this blue rail is installed. I...

After all that time I started to install the dashcam in my car, the fuse number indicated in the BMW guide are finally empty but I'm facing a little problem how to install the connectors in the fusebox. It seems there's blue tabs that lock the connectors in place, but I'm not sure which ones...

Thanks for the info. I'm still waiting the car so I haven't checked it. Is it easy to install the connectors in the fusebox ? Does it require a lot of disassembly ?

Thanks for the explanation about the fuses. Btw, in the ETK it indicates 4 connectors whereas there's only 3 wires to connect. 1x 61138353763 eyelet 2x 61139232673 MCP 2.8 1x 61139316221 Even in the installation PDF it only speaks about 3 wires to connect, is there any explanation why it asks...

Thanks for the reply. The dashcam is a cheap one from ddpai that has a hardwiring kit with a box with 3 wires (+, acc+,ground) it was installed in our E39 previously. The i3 is a 07/2020 build 120Ah full electric with all options excepted Park Assist and Harman Kardon audio, which may explain...

Hello, I’m getting soon a 2020 i3 and I am planning to install in it the hardwired dash cam I had in my previous car. I found online the document used by BMW for retrofitting the BMW Advanced Car Eye which uses the same kind of wiring as I want to connect it as if it was original, and it...
