Hi possen, It has been one of those hard to understand design decisions as to why bmw chose to leave the rex space empty instead of packing in another 5Kwh (just a random number). It would make a huge difference in the usability of the BEV... by the way.. my BEV is awesome and I am glad I opted...

HI all Does anyone know why the blue area on the power bar sometimes goes grey? Mine seems to do it a lot in ecopro mode. The manual says something along the lines of 'conditions are not optimum for maximum efficiency'. It would be great to understand exactly what it means. Thanks in advance

hi boat guy. . thsnk you for this.. its pretty much what i do at the moment.. would be good to see the numbers plonked onto the display . Even if optional.. have a great day..

Lease Lease Lease... In 3 years I can have a look about at all the lovely new electric cars on offer.. :)

Hey congratulations...

I would like to see a display in the car of the amount of charge taken on (in kwh) for the last charge session. And an actual kw drain during travelling, and a power used (in kwh) for last journey...... oh and kwh regenerated in last journey.

hi hdbrew... Another +1 for 20 inch wheels :)

lol... but in all honesty, what is one inch? not a lot! In fact its only 0.5 inch on each opposite side really... In terms of looks the 20 inch is awesome... the ride not really that much different..

Wow this is still going on! Amazing thread. Fun.

I have 20 inch, but in hind-sight I should have gone for the 19 as the ride is much better on old english roads (like rock-climbing).....

Guess in the UK only use the air con for un-steaming the windows after getting a soaking lol lol more lol

Good point.. although you can operate the car in ecopro and have the air con in comfort.. in settings-eco settings..

Great information ianwoodnamaste. :)

It took me a while to find the best position, especially as the head rest is not adjustable, but now having found the sweet spot... no problems. I'd try to experiment a bit first.

1) IN the summer, and cruising at 60mph, I can reliably get 90 miles range. This is day driving, lights off, air con off and ecopro on. 2) I have a BEV. 3) I find the seats comfortable for long journeys. My only issue is the non-adjustable headrest, so I tend to have the seat reclined more...

I think I will try out the steering feature on the way home tonight. It came as standard on my i3 and so far hasn't particularly drawn itself to my attention. I turn left the car goes left..etc... it even beeps if I let it go (in traffic jam assist)... awesome.

ermm.. why is everyone so angry? But agree... keep on topic :)

No probs with the steering myself... but i havnt tried leaning over to remove my phone outy pocket yet...

Just... lol An excellent report though.. am at almost 20k in my bev and loving every mile.. my steering is sharp and precise..

Hi Hi MikeS.. I agree with your conclusion re: the battery temp... I have similar experiences.. I can cruise for 90 miles at 60mph on a single run, but pop to town (7 miles) do some shopping, drive home, pop to supermarket (5 miles), drive home the charge is almost half used, suggesting a...
