Hi all, Big lurker here. I'm having trouble getting hold of any tyres in the Hampshire area (front & rears - Rex) Does anyone have any idea where to get some, rang round the locals and they have all given a 2-3 month lead time because bridgestone don't know when they are making more. Thanks

Not personalised but I got the choice and saw HN14 ELC was up for grabs at the dealer. A bit like ELEC, I didn't think people would notice but I have had a few comments about it, not bad for free.

Agreed bill, thanks for the advice anyway though

So before I get out I should set desired temp for when I want to leave?

How I do control if the car heats or cools on the precontioning on the app? Thanks

Hi, yesterday it got as hot as a heady 21 Celsius yesterday in the uk so fancied a bit of air conditioning on the way home after work, I think it may not be working because it was not cold at all, can anyone else confirm if there's works well? I don't want to have to take it back to the...

Unless your girlfriend is using it on the track it's highly unlikely she will have those heat problems. Stop to 70 to stop to 70 to stop and so on with periods of waiting still (for timing gear to reset I assume) will have a very different effect than spiritedly driving around, even if you gf...

I found this on the f30 (3 series) website about the connecteddrive "1. Your car must have the Enhanced Bluetooth option for the Office functionality to work. 2. On the iDrive go to Telephone > Configure Bluetooth and turn on Office. 3. On the iDrive go to Menu and select Office > Messages >...

Just had a play and got it working, texts and emails, both showing symbols on the screen (next to the signal strength) went to office and they were in there, also read them out if I wanted, perfect. Looks like BMW need to update there compatibility page. :D

How strange not to have compatibility for one of the largest phones manufactures? How likely do people think there will be a software update for the i3 soon to accommodate the i3 office pairing?

Hi, I wonder if anyone has connected the iphone 5 to the pro NAV system in order to see texts or emails on screen? Can't seem to find it in either the paper or electronic version of the manual and the BMW homepage just sends me round in circles. I have the Bluetooth upgrade with voice control...

Thanks Neil, when you say offset the first year, against what, corporation tax? Plus why a big chunk? Can't you offset with no large initial payment?

Hi there, I have an i3 coming in a couple of weeks and I'm still not totally clear on which way to finance the i3. :o I have a LTD company so plan to use the benefits that brings with it regarding cars in the UK The two options, as stated in the subject, are:- 1. Buy privately and claim...

Will there be a 1:18? I too am rather sad and like to always have a model on my desk of my current car, got the 1:43 so that will do for now

So if I were to drive it every day for 3 years that would be the battery done? Doesn't tie up with the 100'000 mile warranty does it? Or maybe that was the limit bmw came up with, hope new battery's become available one day!

So charge every other night, not what I would of done! Hopefully 80 miles on the charge is realistic then so back and forth to work two times then a charge

I'm also interested in this, my drive to work is 19 miles, so should I charge even night when I get home or every other night? I'm getting a Rex so don't mind dipping in to the tiny bit of fuel it may require on the second nights drive home. Also what do you mean 1 of the 1000 cycles?

Hi Harry, This mirrors my experience exactly, had no desire to buy one just fancied a go as I'm both a geek and a designer so was attracted from both sides. One drive and I was hooked, makes my 3 litre Z4 feel like it's from the Stone Age. I have told a couple of mates and they think I'm mad...

I too have the standard interior on order, thought it was a cool little feature when I saw it!
