I am not convinced that they are linked, more than it needs to know when you will be leaving to optimize the charging, because you might need to start charging before the off-peak window. But all these things would work better at 32A. You could make sure that you charge inside the off-peak...

So why do you not set 2 departure times. One 1 hour before end of off-peak, and one at departure time. Then you will also use less energy the second time, and then limit the risk of leaving with less than 100%.

The battery is heated to 10 degrees Celcius. Above that it only "conditions" the battery. I have not yet measured when pre-cooling starts. When you drive, the temperature rises, and the highest I got was during a day with between +3 and +8 degrees outside, pre-heated to +10, and then at the end...

What do you want to know? It simple. Select departure time to precondition the battery. It is a good advise to do it more than 3 hours before, but the car will anyway do it's best. It needs to be connected to precondition the battery, and the more Ampers the better. (Less effect drawn from...

Tom's description might be correct for US and 110V standard charger, but it is not correct for an European car. The precondition selection only affects the cabin. Preconditioning the battery is linked to departure time. The statement that it is only working if you set it 3 hours before is also...

Same as me, but I am worried about public charging in the rain, so anyone used the unit outside regularly?

Has anyone good/bad experience with standard charger outdoors in rain?

Maybe I misunderstand what you are discussing, but pre-conditioning of the battery is standard on all i3. Without it, I do not think BMW would have given a 8 years warrenty on the battery.

OK, but after Juli 2013 production, all cars are online, as a part of 6AC, so I need to know how the "old type" of apps via smartphones are handled now. The new type that live in the cars, and use the online service through the cars SIM card need a subscription of course. These are now a part of...

As I understand you can MAX charge 10A in UK, so you have to recalculate my numbers. In Norway the MAX current from the standard charger is 12A, and this is what you get on MAX (in Norway), "Reduced" is 9A, and LOW is 6A. The reason you have these options is that you can charge on a lower...

Has anyone in here (except UK, since Online Services are standard there), used ConnectedDrive Store? Experience? And has anyone used the "old type" Smartphone Apps through your own smartphone (via BMW Conneted app) and cable, without paying the Online Service fee? (again only relevant for...

You should show the picture to BMW service. This must be a fault?

That's my formulation, but it means that it is not only a replacement part. You cannot take the new version and plug it it where the old was, so there are functional or physical differences.

Someone reports that there is no sound when you surf internet (youtube) via the car (internet option). Could this be the reason for replacing telecom box and HIFI?
