    HELP: just replaced the 12v battery but can't start my i3

    Hi all, The problem got fixed after charging the 12v battery and installing it back. Initially, I had some error messages but they disappeared in a day. So, when you replace the 12v battery, make sure it is charged! Thanks!

    HELP: just replaced the 12v battery but can't start my i3

    Thanks for the advice! The 12v battery seems to be drained now. I got the battery from a wholesale East Penn distributor nearby. The new battery isn’t supposed to come charged properly? I'd better buy a charger?

    HELP: just replaced the 12v battery but can't start my i3

    I've measured the 12v battery and it was about 13.5v. I have purchased Bimmerlink for battery registration. I tried to register it, but I wonder it was successful or not. When I first plugged in, I could see the battery was 99% on Bimmerlink, but I open BimmerLink after i3 produces all the...

    Disabling parking distance sensor for bike rack using some tapes?

    This $1 solution worked very well for me! One was not enough for me though. I had to use two on each sensor, a smaller one on top of a larger one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oKT4n91vv8

    Disabling parking distance sensor for bike rack using some tapes?

    Hi, I read somewhere that parking distance sensors can be disabled by blocking them with some sort of tapes. What kind of tapes should I use? I've tried with some of tapes that I have but they didn't work. I want to disable some sensors when I have a bike rack on my i3's torklift ecohitch.

    Any trunk bike rack for i3? Saris Bone works?

    I tried Yakima's fullback but soon realized that it might break the trunk door. I took it off and return the rack. I've ordered an Ecohitch.

    Any trunk bike rack for i3? Saris Bone works?

    Hi, Is there anyone who uses a trunk bike rack happily on i3? I googled around but I could not find a definite answer. For example, Saris Bone 2- or 3- Bike will work on i3? Saris website doesn't say it would fit i3. I'm wondering whether a trunk bike rack would be generally ok or not and how...
