Hello i3 peeps,
We’re about to embark on an epic cross Canada road trip and we have decided to try our 2020 i3s. We are craving an adventure… I have a few questions:
1. The range that’s displayed in the iDrive Map - does it factor in the REX added range or simply pure electric?
2. With Apple...
I had the same question and eventually gave up. Bought the BMW all-weather mats and they are absolutely beautiful. Grey with a blue line around the contours. My dealer ended up having them to me as I had experienced a few issues that required two trips to the Service Bay in a single week. Sorry...
Well, I heard back from a BMW Genius and Apple Maps EV routing won’t be made available for the i3. The feature will only make its way to the newer generation of EVs in the portfolio. Bummer.
I’ve pretty much already decided to buy the BMW winter wheel and tire kit in the fall. I had no idea (my bad - should have researched more) that tires would be such a to-do.
I’ve owned my 2020 i3S for less than a month and last weekend, I went on a longer trip just so I could experience the REX. At highway speeds with the music on, I couldn’t really tell it was on once my battery hit 6%. But I was nervous because at 110 km/h, the battery charge was dropping all the...
Hello there,
I was wondering if anyone has been able to setup this feature in Apple Maps. I contacted BMW Geniuses and they referred me to Apple Support who referred me back to BMW...
I got the windows tinted and the car looks even better. My i3 is at the dealer right now as they can’t figure out why I’m unable to send remote commands to it. My other BMW is working fine, so I know it’s not my phone or the app.
I am surprised by how much attention this car gets. I had not...
I know this likely was a no-brainer, but I had not done the filtering in PlugShare. And, there is a VW dealer between Regina and Calgary with free Level 3 chargers. I am planning a road trip to the Rockies and this is one stop I will be making for sure. What is the etiquette for a free charger...
Well, what a shame. I've booked a service appointment for Wednesday next week to get it fixed. We will see... Thanks for your post, makes me feel a little better knowing it's not just me.
Thanks for your write up. To answer your question, I forced a data refresh from the car:
1. From the iDrive system in the car, scroll to Connect Drive and click on the tile.
2. Once in Connected Drive, click the "Options" hard button by the scroll wheel.
3. Select "Refresh BMW Services"
4. Wait...
Thanks so much for your write up. I have to admit just knowing that the forum exists is a huge relief. I'm not informed as much as I thought I was about the ins and outs of EV driving. Also, I live in a province that is hostile to EV drivers and cars (link to an article). My local BMW dealer...
