It was my understanding that the November update was supposed to be free. My dealer is telling me that have to charge for it. Can anyone point me to the official BMW statement on it? Thanks.

Last week I ordered a set of the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 for my REx. The are supposed to arrive this week and I should have them on the car by Friday. I got them on the recommendation I saw from BMWBLOG.com. As there is a $20 rebate per tire, they will be around $20 or so more than the Blizzaks...

I've got a service appointment set up for this, but I wanted to throw it out to the general crowd. I've been having inconsistent results with the regen braking on my i3 REx and am wondering if anyone else has been having these issues. I thought I saw a post on it, but wasn't able to find it...

I know there are several i3 owners in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. I'm trying to make connections with anyone in the west suburbs.

So I was perusing the parts catalog on the BMW of Bridgewater site and noticed that they appear to have all the parts for the i3's sliding sunroom. I know it would be prohibitively expensive to do so, but any ideas on the feasability of retrofitting a US spec vehicle with said sunroof? Crazy...

Just went out and have my REx a shot from a lvl 2 for about 40 mins over lunch. The app said it would be done charging at 1:11 pm. I hit unlock on the car and it said it would be done at 12:53 pm. It finished at 12:53. Just before that, the app still said 1:11 pm. Any one else noticed this...

My occasional use charge just failed. Haven't installed a lvl 2 yet so I've been using the OUC. I've had the vehicle for around 3 weeks now. I plugged it in last Friday night at 50% battery level expecting to wake up Saturday with a full charge but the vehicle hadn't charged at all. I looked...

I've done the Eurospec coding on my i3 REx (thanks to DVD in Motion) and for easy access I marked it as a favorites button. I wanted to pass on this trick. To do this, follow these steps. 1. Navigate to Menu/settings/ Range extender. 2. Hold down the favorites button that you want to use. I...

I'm currently the only person who uses my i3. It's not remember the last driving mode I set it in. I generally set it to Eco Pro+. I've tried switching to a different profile, still no dice. I called the BMW Genius line and they couldn't figure it out either. Is there maybe a setting I'm...

I acquired my i3 REx this Saturday and so far have been quite pleased with it. I know the range bar is widely criticized as the "Guess-O-Meter". I'm definitely getting this vibe from my car. Guess-O-Meter right now says "Charge Status 64%" Comfort range--43 miles, Eco-pro+ Range 51 Miles...

I was just looking at the 2015 REx's. It appears from the BMW website that both the 2015 models, both BEV and REx, now have Heat pumps.... http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Content/Vehicles/2015/i3/BMWi3RangeExtender/Features_and_Specs/Default.aspx Can anyone compare this with the actual specs...

Does any body know how to disable the Auto-on feature for the AC and fan? If I want it on, I'll turn it on. Is there also a way to keep the drive mode in the mode you left it in or set the default start mode? Thanks.
