I agree it isn't a bad idea, but here are a few logical reasons why BMW hasn't gone all out on DC Rapid charge stations yet. 1) As mentioned, price. Currently, the first i3s are arriving in the UK and most new customers will be happy charging their cars at home or at work. Having big pricey DC...

Hi Toolworker. Comfort is the 'normal' setting, giving you that full-on throttle response and power on tap when you want it. Clicking on Eco Pro will see your range jump (next time you're in an i3, flick Eco Pro on and watch your estimated range on the dash increase). Eco Pro allows you to...
