Local dealer just got two '19s with sunroof and tech package back from lease. He wasn't sure REx or BEV for either, but REx isn't really a necessity any more with the 120Ah battery, but it's also not really a dealbreaker either, so we'll take whichever one has better other options. Looking...

New-to-us 2014 Tesla Model S joins our i3 and our Arcimoto FUV. And all three with at least major components made on the West Coast. BMW i3's carbon fiber "life module" is made in Moses Lake, Washington; Arcimoto FUV is fully built in Eugene, Oregon; Tesla is built in Fremont, California. The...

My i3 has been having issues with the charge port recently - the vehicle hasn't been releasing charge plugs from the socket reliably. Lock/unlock a few times, wait half a minute to about 5 minutes before it finally releases the connector. Then this morning, not only that, but all the warning...

I got the REx to be able to take longer trips without worrying about charging, and have used it that way a few times. In general I have charged on the "more than one full battery plus more than one full tank" trips, but I have yet to do a trip where I have gone more than one battery charge...

There is a coffee shop up the block from me. The owner drives an i3 - she had it long before I got mine, and her rave review was one of the reasons I bought it. She originally leased hers, then bought out the lease last year. She tends to park it in front of my house, because the coffee shop...

Added a second EV to my driveway - the brand new Arcimoto FUV: It's an enclosed electric trike that can go 75 MPH, and go up to 100 miles on a charge. Made in Eugene, Oregon, it's been under development for about a decade, and finally reached full production last month - mine is #11 off the...

Took a 90 mile road trip to a convention over the weekend in my 2015 with the 60Ah/22kWh battery, had to use battery+gas (gas was about six months old anyway, so figured it was time to use it up and refill.). Arrived Friday, plugged in at hotel (120V via Occasional Use Charger at outdoor outlet...

I've used BimmerCode to change button 4 to do preconditioning, but no matter what setting I pick for button 3, it only ever opens the rear hatch. What am I doing wrong? I have set RC_DEFAULT_IDG_3RD_BUTTON_SHORT _MID and _LONG to Wert_05. I've tried setting every combination of those three...

I have used BimmerCode to change the keyfob button uses, notably to change the trunk release to open the front trunk instead. But, I'd like to avoid confusing my wife too much, so would like to replace the keyfob with a 2014-style keyfob that shows the front trunk opening. But, of course, you...

I have the BMW Connected app on my phone. It is linked to my family's shared calendar (iOS, iCloud Shared calendar.) Occasionally, I will get the "leave in 5 minutes to make it to <appointment>" from the BMW Connected app for appointments that aren't on my calendar! Today, one popped up for...

I have the newer key fob with the i8 rear trunk opening icon on the "trunk" button. But I have it coded to open the frunk instead. I would like the key fob to have the right picture (specifically for my wife, I don't care.) But, as we all know, a key fob can't be reprogrammed to work on another...

Hi all, got my used i3 REx a few weeks ago, and promptly got a Bluetooth OBD-II adapter and BimmerCode to unlock the full REx functionality and play with a few other settings. (US-spec i3 here.) Only *AFTER* doing that did I discover that Traffic Jam Assist was a thing; and ordered the HOD...
