    Driving on snow

    Thanks for all the info.....I have been thinking for next time when regen took over and the wheels lockup I will give it some throttle that should take the regen off!

    Comfort mode

    I would think BMW would have default it to eco pro .....just like D on most car and if you want you can then switch to sport. ...comfort mode. Unless there's way to program it to certain mode?

    2017 i3 BEV

    I think when they designed the car for 2014, the remote for the frunk is because the charging cable get used everyday until later owners are buying L2 charging unit at home and the air compressor/sealent cause our skinny tires attract nail lol. The trunk was designed with the same reason as no...
