Some EV's (Bolt, Leaf) have more than one regen mode whereby the amount of regen can be more or less aggressive. According to my limited understanding, regen is produced as the magnet in the electric motor (rotor) is turned by the wheel, and produces a force in opposite direction to the wheel...

I think I've got the numbers right. Hope I don't have them backwards. Car is a 2015 BEV with style 427 wheels. Is it possible to use a rear wheel (53mm offset) on the front (normally 43mm offset) ? Why, you ask? The owner has a scuffed rear and wants to replace it with new but keep the old...

I don't know if this is old news or not, or how practical it is. Thoughts ? https://www.continental-corporation.com/en/press/press-releases/allcharge-technology-from-continental-makes-evs-fit-for-any-type-of-charging-station-63864

I pulled into my local DC fast charger place today, outside temp 97 degrees F. I plugged it in started charging. SOC was around 20% when I started. I sought shelter and came back after 15 minutes. The charger had turned off and the SOC was 44%. I started the procedure again but it cut off...

"while the standard tires have been enlarged as well, for a beefier look." http://www.bmwblog.com/2017/07/14/2018-bmw-i3-sport-production-begins-november/ Hmmmm...wonder if they will fit our cars...

I rarely use the REx on my car so I'm a little concerned about using gas with ethanol. Should I be concerned about this ? What type gas do you guys use ? Any recommendations for fuel stabilizer ?

I picked up this car on May 27 and drove 120 miles from the dealer to my house, stopping to recharge once at a fast charge station. Everything worked as it should. Soon thereafter the frontal collision and pedestrian collision stopped working, and the posted speed limit no longer showed on the...

I've heard that the full gas tank is available for the 2017 models with the larger battery. In other words, no coding is needed to take advantage of the full tank. Can someone confirm this ? Of course, coding would still be needed to make the REx come on earlier....

2017 REx. After parking and exiting the car, the windows spontaneously roll down after some time (maybe and hour or two). The car is unlocked in my garage and when I return I find the windows rolled all the way down. Anybody else seen this and if so is there a "setting" fix or do I need to go...

I'm looking for a used i3 and when I find one my guess is the previous owner "forgot" to include the card that unlocks the fast charger. How do I order a new one ?

After reading this thread http://www.mybmwi3.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4452 I wanted to start a new topic on where to get the software patch to reprogram a 2015 REx so that I can control when the REx comes on and also make full use of the 2.4 gal tank. I'm not much of a programming guy so...

Web sites like truecar.com and similar are reporting that dealers are selling i3's at or near invoice. Does anyone know if this includes the $7500 tax credit or other rebates, or if this the "straight up" dealer price and credits and rebates are then applied to that, thus lowering the price...

I've always been skeptical of cars that "self park". Has anyone actually used this function to parallel park and if so, how well did it work ?

If so, what are the money factor and residual ?
