    Blue / Grey power bar

    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

    DC Retro-fit

    Hi all.. I know this one has been asked before a while ago, but there is a hugely increasing demand for DC retrofit and was wondering if anyone knew of a change of heart from BMW? Many of us ordered our i3s when there was no sign of a fast charge network and hence could not warrent the cost of...

    Failed Charge Regulation Module

    After a really professional delivery and 2 weeks of awesome trouble free motoring covering 1200 miles my i3 got a little upset. I plugged it into my 7Kw charger, and the i3 made a wooshing noise and tripped the charger breaker. This was followed by an awful electrical smell. I called i3 assist...

    Connect drive not updating

    Hi all, My connect drive has not been updating since 15/05/2014. It seemed to stop after a charge fail when I sent a change of departure time to the car. I have also looked on the web portal.. this has the same last update of 15/05/2014. Has anyone else seen this? Thank you.

    the i3 app and 'recuperation'

    Hi all.. Does anyone know that the recuperation figure in the i3 app actually means... I mean I know its energy recovered and pushed back into the batteries.. but the units of miles/kwh are confusing. I often achieve 30 or even 40 miles/kwh of recuperation, but I dont really know what this...

    22kW rapid chargers

    Hi all If I plug my i3 into a 22kW ac rapid charger, will it charge? I know that the i3 will only charge ac at 7kw, and hence will only draw 7kw. (Unfortunately I neglected to include DC rapid on my i3... maybe I could retrofit?) Thank you

    Delivery / Collection

    Hi I was wondering how owners had received their i3. I assume you collect from the dealer together with a test drive and check that everything works before accepting the car.. My dealer, who is 30 miles from home wants to deliver the car from a lorry... while this is very nice, I am concerned...
