Did you check the charge limit in the Octopus app? I've only recently discovered that the Octopus app (on iPhone and iPad) had way more information and control than the Octopus website.
I suspect that the tech was right to blame factors outside BMW's control: there are the chargepoint control...
I see no point in adjusting the regen power; my right foot does the modulating for me and if my shin becomes tired I set the Cruise Control, Adaptive or otherwise.
I was with my son for test drive of a Mercedes GLC a few months ago and found the adjustment superfluous.
Would you show us where that advice from BMW can be found? I’ve not found any advice from BMW about levels of charging, or indeed the best charging rates.
Our 22 i3 is due its first service in July, but I have twice received “service due” emails from my local dealer. I complained the first time and the dealer call centre (Vertu) informed me that the date came from BMW and that they’d correct it. Now I’ve had a second email with the same message...
Yes it is :-) The battery is not easily accessible for attaching a charger (apart from the possible harm to the electronics which I didn't know about before I posted), so I wondered if there were charging terminals easily accessible. My BMW X3 has its battery in the bottom of the boot (trunk)...
I’m glad to see that happiness :-). Off topic, but what do you think of your 225xe? I have a diesel X3 which is for towing and longer distances/more luggage, but I’m interested in the 2 series.
I like that car as well, but I read some difficult stuff about that car and similar in the Guardian this morning: https://www.theguardian.com/money/2024/feb/24/smart-keys-car-crime-thieves-hi-tech-arms-race
