Anyone noticed a problem with corrosion on the i3 wheels? I seem to have a particular problem around the centre hub on both my back wheels as though something is causing it in this location.

Just a glitch I think but I left the car today and locked it. Happened to be looking at the app later and saw that the doors were showing as unlocked. So I sent a lock command to the car. Successful but no change in status. Sent it again, again successful but no change in status. Went out to...

So my i3 went in yesterday to have the recall done on the potential fuel line problem. No issues there and I got the car back washed as usual. They did the cursory service checks while it was in. After 15k miles, it was reporting 3mm across every tyre which didnt surprise me but I'm not sure...

Is there any way to upload new custom POIs to the BMW Nav system?

Just wondering if I've missed this somewhere as I can't recall having read it on the forum or in the manual. So I pull into a rapid charging facility with 8% SoC and plug in an operational DC Rapid CCS charger and commence charging. 32 mins later I return to my car. What SoC would I expect...

So whilst in the middle of trying to sort my problem with preconditioning, I've woken up this morning to find the BMW Connected App has suddenly started refusing to run. It just crashes immediately on my iPhone 6. Anyone experienced the same? ** Update ** Deleted and reinstalled, no...

Forgive me for this cathartic and slightly rhetorical post but.... I have been trying to establish what the effect of preconditioning actually is on range because I seem to get some readings that are not that intuitive. Not the cabin preconditioning which I understand will pre-heat the cabin...

Had an interesting one yesterday. Put the car on a 7kw charger while shopping. Cos I'm still trying to get my head around things I did a quick calculation in my head as to what the SoC % would be when I returned to the car. As I left the store I opened the app and got a status update returned...

Okay, so twice I've got home and the charge level has been quite low. 16% the first time and 19% this time. I've run iRemote to set the departure and preconditioning times together with off-peak charging. On pressing "Send", I get the following warning Forgive me for being thick but what...

So just to test the range on the 94ah and to make sure everything functioned as it should on my new baby, I decided to go for a ride and ignore all the warning bells and whistles. Set off at about 14c this morning, pre-conditioned and 100% SoC. EcoPro+ mode operational at start then switched...

Anyone ever had a wheel off their i3 in their boot/trunk? Interested to know if one would happily sit on the floor with the seats up?

Far prefer to charge my iPhone inside the armrest like the previous generation of phone cradles. Ii stops it flying around so much and more importantly, if I should forget to take it with me, it's securely out of sight rather than sitting in the centre console!

Been reading the owners handbook and I can't recall having seen a discussion on this point. I'm not clear from reading the manual what the answer is so looking for any guidance. I understand how the precondioning works I.e. The car starts charging and preconditioning to hit the set departure...

Just now running the gauntlet of sorting out supply arrangements. I'm currently with Swalec/SSE and they installed a Smart meter last year. Brilliant I thought, I can see the smart meter cycling through Rate 1 / Rate 2 / Rate 3 although as I am on a standard tariff at present, only Rate 1 is...

So, I have a dilemma. The car is going to spend half of its time outside and half inside. I have the option of whether the tethered charger goes inside or outside too. So half the time I will either have the charger inside with the cable coming out under the garage door (suitably protected of...

It's on it's way albeit with a wait. White Rex with Sport pack, pro media and parking Early September for delivery. Plenty of time to get the charge point and a few other things sorted :mrgreen:

Newbie alert first, I've just registered so be gentle if I'm posting in the wrong place etc, I know what forums are like. As you may guess after reading the title, I'm currently considering buying an i3. Thus far I have got as far as reading everything I can find online in terms of BMW...
