Hi, we have a brand new i3 REx and the check engine light came on. The dealer said the fault was: We had them reset the code and do a full software update. They say there was a new i3 update released by BMW around 13-Jul-2015, which they say we now have. 2 days later and the check engine light...

Hi, I have the i3 Tera with the Homelink garage door opener. We have a Genie garage door – the type with one red light on it. It uses rolling codes. I have spent an hour following every tutorial I can find on YouTube, Google, etc. and of course the precise instructions detailed at Homelink's...

Hi, I'm using the app Leasematic which was recommended at Bimmerfest. However the figures it is giving for the lease with 7 MSDs are quite different to what 2 dealers are offering. Opening each in a new tab/window, can anyone spot the discrepancy? Dealership...

Hi all, We're getting solar roof panels and will be paying about $0.17 for the solar electricity per kWh, which should power about 80% of our needs. The rest will be at SoCal Edison's full rate of about $0.24 average. This SoCal Edison scheme offers separately metered electricity rates just...

Hi, if I engage Parking Assistant, there is that moment during parallel parking where the front of the car swings out into the road a bit during reverse. Sometimes as we know, drivers are not as considerate as the rest of us, and can just keep ploughing towards you, risking the front corner of...

Hi all, we've found our potential i3 REx with all the fully loaded features we want, and the Tera world we want, but one problem – they upgraded it to the $1300 20" wheels, but we love the 19" Turbines. Q1: Are there any tried solutions here for switching/downgrading? Obviously it's a lease so...

Re the adapters at http://www.shopbmwusa.com/BLUETOOTH-SNAPIN-ADAPTERS-CONTROL does anyone know where there is a full list or if any are compatible with the Google Nexus 5 or Nexus 6 smartphones? Perhaps the Samsung Galaxy would fit, as it has the same micro USB socket at the central base of the...

Hi, we're trying to choose between range anxiety and cost saving/greenness. My daily commute will be 60 miles each way, 120 total. 99% freeway driving with 10% of that in slow freeway traffic. If I am certain of an EVSE at work, will I ever have a problem traveling the 60 miles either way?

I realize BMW are not officially supporting Android Auto. There are after market head units that provide it. Does anyone know what options there are for us to bring Auto to our i3s?

So the self steering feature is disabled in the United States of Attorneys. Anyone know if this can be software enabled? Thanks!

Hi all, we're buying an i3 and hoping for some advice for our specific garage setup. We already have a 240v socket in our garage for our clothes dryer. We would like to use the existing single socket. Is it OK to use a splitter there as long as we don't charge the car and dry clothes...
