I am not convinced that they are linked, more than it needs to know when you will be leaving to optimize the charging, because you might need to start charging before the off-peak window. But all these things would work better at 32A. You could make sure that you charge inside the off-peak...

So why do you not set 2 departure times. One 1 hour before end of off-peak, and one at departure time. Then you will also use less energy the second time, and then limit the risk of leaving with less than 100%.

The battery is heated to 10 degrees Celcius. Above that it only "conditions" the battery. I have not yet measured when pre-cooling starts. When you drive, the temperature rises, and the highest I got was during a day with between +3 and +8 degrees outside, pre-heated to +10, and then at the end...

What do you want to know? It simple. Select departure time to precondition the battery. It is a good advise to do it more than 3 hours before, but the car will anyway do it's best. It needs to be connected to precondition the battery, and the more Ampers the better. (Less effect drawn from...

Tom's description might be correct for US and 110V standard charger, but it is not correct for an European car. The precondition selection only affects the cabin. Preconditioning the battery is linked to departure time. The statement that it is only working if you set it 3 hours before is also...

Same as me, but I am worried about public charging in the rain, so anyone used the unit outside regularly?

Has anyone good/bad experience with standard charger outdoors in rain?

Maybe I misunderstand what you are discussing, but pre-conditioning of the battery is standard on all i3. Without it, I do not think BMW would have given a 8 years warrenty on the battery.

OK, but after Juli 2013 production, all cars are online, as a part of 6AC, so I need to know how the "old type" of apps via smartphones are handled now. The new type that live in the cars, and use the online service through the cars SIM card need a subscription of course. These are now a part of...

As I understand you can MAX charge 10A in UK, so you have to recalculate my numbers. In Norway the MAX current from the standard charger is 12A, and this is what you get on MAX (in Norway), "Reduced" is 9A, and LOW is 6A. The reason you have these options is that you can charge on a lower...

Has anyone in here (except UK, since Online Services are standard there), used ConnectedDrive Store? Experience? And has anyone used the "old type" Smartphone Apps through your own smartphone (via BMW Conneted app) and cable, without paying the Online Service fee? (again only relevant for...

You should show the picture to BMW service. This must be a fault?

That's my formulation, but it means that it is not only a replacement part. You cannot take the new version and plug it it where the old was, so there are functional or physical differences.

Someone reports that there is no sound when you surf internet (youtube) via the car (internet option). Could this be the reason for replacing telecom box and HIFI?

No, this is the screen directly in front of the driver. My guess, since also the handles at the steering wheel changes + some control unit in the LED headlights changes, is that they add the high-beam assist, and they need an icon in the instrument cluster to show that it is active, and on my...

As far as I have seen from the parts catalogue, the Instument Cluster, HIFI amplifier and the telecommunication box, will be replaced from march production with non-compatible units. Does anyone know what will be changed?

We have very high taxes on cars in Norway, but pure electric cars have no TAX and no VAT + a lot of other benefits. So nobody would buy the REX version, it would probably be 2xprice of the EV version.

The standard charger have 4 indicators, one power, one charging, and the last one indicated an error/fault. But the third says "Ground Present", with orange color. What is this? I have charged without any issue at 2 sockets, both 230V with 130V towards ground. But one of them triggers this...

Agree that Adaptive is misleading. It is not called adaptive in all countries. For a lot of the options, some creative souls have done to much cut/paste. But I am happy with the light quality, and I have F10 adaptive Bi-xenon. Best I have had. i3 is much wider! The missing things are no...
