When I try to start the BMW connect app on my android phone it fails with "Something went wrong, please try later". I've cleared the cache, deleted and re-installed the app but it still fails. Wondering if others are seeing the same issue.

Thought I'd post the following in case others are interested. At home (California, US) I wired up a NEMA 6-20 outlet and use a 16 Amp Dostar for charging at home. However when we travel to family and charge at 110v we commonly needed the REX to fire up to get home. My brother in law is kind...

We've owned a 2015 i3 REX for ~2 years and mostly driven to work/shops and to family who are <50 miles away. This week we headed to Tahoe from Los Gatos CA, which is ~ 230 Miles and a 6000' climb away, our 1st long trip. After a bit of planning with plugshare and 'Drive the Arc' on where to...

I just watched this on Transport Evolved's youtube channel and wonder if anyone has seen mice or rats in/on your i3 and if so where to look for them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uChfezFhL2w&t=325s

Hi I used to be able to send messages (map destinations) via the android connectedDrive app (and bimmer_connected on my PC), but it has not worked correctly for a few weeks. I can check charging and location so the car had connectivity and the ConnectedDrive web page show I have remote...

Hi, my 2015 i3 will get it last free service in a few months and don't want to pay dealer prices for basic service and repairs. Anyone found an independent mechanic that work on i3s in the Bay Area (San Jose)?

I'm increasingly getting warnings about a rear door (usually the RHS) being open on my '15 REX. Are others seeing a similar issue. Is there a sensor to adjust or clean? Is a trip to the dealer in order (I have a few months of warranty to go).

Hi I've have an i3 REX for 6 mths now and had no issues, however watching this owners vblog https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHDUMhR6HLk made me a little nervous about long term ownership costs. Is your i3 reliable or usually in BMW's service dept?

I received an email from BMW today about a software update being available and that they can install it at a bargain price of $200. When I checked the read me doc on their website https://www.bmw.com/en/footer/software-updates.html has a copyright of 2016, so I'm not sure if this is actually...

I installed bimmercode on my andriod MotoG5s+ phone (running 8.1) and it stated there in an update to coding data. When I try to update it repeatably fails with "Coding data update failed" after downloading for a few minutes. I have not unlocked coding yet, is the error because I haven't...

I'm a new owner (2015 i3 REX), in the SF bay area (Los Gatos) Wondering if there are folks in the neighbourhood who can advise on coding so I can unlock that hidden 2.5 gallon fuel tank and the hold function. Anyone in the area doing this as a service? Advise on software / ODX connections etc...
