E90fans, if only BMW thought this out since I believe most electric companies are geared for Sat-Sun all day as off peak. I get around it by entering M-F departure time in slot 1 and a very early AM departure time Sat-Sun in slot 2. This might work for you too, provided you don't have...

The app update from the first week of April times out constantly requiring you to retype username/password and select a new pin each time. Also noticed it randomly reverts the units to km/hr when set to mph. The part about the username/email needing to be all caps, they're probably reading...

Thanks for the info.

I also have the revised KLE and a firmware update (14-11-504). I hope that BMW will fix this in a soon to come firmware update.

To my unpleasant surprise the majority of last month's electric bill was on peak rates (I have a smart meter). I did start using pre-conditioning due to the cold weather, but surely that couldn't be the reason. Next I double checked the low cost charging times were set correct (they were)...

Had a TTS roadster with Geico at $1200/yr and they wanted to charge $2000/yr for the i3. Promptly called Progressive and was quoted $830/yr for the i3. These prices are in NJ which has the nation's 2nd highest car insurance averages.

So there's a redesigned KLE, but will there be a software update so that there is no charging bottleneck (on the car's end)?

#1 would be super handy since off-peak is all weekend and I would prefer it charge right away if it was a Sat/Sun. #3 Basic notification like low charge is sent through BMW ConnectedDrive and if you use a Chargepoint EVSE they offer even more notification like charging interrupted. Would be...

Had my i3 for a few weeks now and still occasionally dig deep down the right trying to find the buckle too.

Hahaha, it's such a minor thing but yes I notice it too.

Surprising some of the previous cars in this thread. It's pretty cool being in on the ground floor and learning a lot about EVs. Hope there will soon be a mainstream performance EV convertible (the i8 is really nice but a bit much both in price and speed).

Subtle, looks good. Does the wrap help with water spots/dirt? The bottom bits on the i3 seem to be a magnet for that stuff.

Isn't there an off for the traction control in the settings menu? I'm still amazed at the grip those 155/175mm tires offer.

I end up changing it to ecopro+ every time I buckle up and would also like the car to save the last drive setting. My other gripe is with the climate control automatically defaulting to ON (not the A/C but just the first fan speed of the climate control being ON). It's annoying have to turn...

Second week with my i3 and just got around to washing what I thought was a small thermos. So bummed to find out it's an ashtray. Agreed on the horn not being all it can be.
