Tomasz - shouldn't the tank size be changed from 7 to 9_liter?

When I use the occasional use charger, I end up folding and putting away the charger (because I don't want the handle to drag on the ground) and forget that the flap is still open. I end up driving along until I notice it or someone honks at me. A sensor that tells you it's still open on the...

app is free - just download the app from the app store and hit the SOS button in the car to set it up

Crevier BMW - near orange county has installed 4 of them apparently - you can see pics on the bmw i3 facebook group It's apparently optional for dealers but hopefully we'll see a lot more

jadnashuanh, Just this weekend I drove from Denver to Vail for a day hike and lunch. I had enabled the hold mode on the i3 a couple weeks ago and was looking forward to trying it out. This is a normal use case for Coloradans to either go skiing, hiking, climbing, etc. on a day trip. Denver...

For those who don't want to go to the facebook page - here is the tutorial from facebook as posted on BMWBlog http://www.bmwblog.com/2014/10/11/coding-tutorial-bmw-i3-electric-car/ Edit: The document in this post is outdated and best to use the google docs suggested on page 2 of this thread...

Finally got everything together - cable, windows laptop (cheap $200 one as I'm a MAC guy), Software, and Token. So along with this gear, I followed some of the expreience of folks on the BMW i3 facebook page and was successful in enabling the REx hold state of charge mode. I didn't change...

unless you want to build your own cable here are two pre-made options for the OBDII to ethernet cable From Scott Lawson over on the facebook page: Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LMB0BDW/ref=dra_a_rv_ff_fx_it_P2000_1000?tag=dradisplay-20&ascsubtag=4a251a2ef9bbf4ccc35f97aba2c9cbda And here...

I live in Colorado and commute south in the morning and north in the afternoon. I have glare issues both ways on my commute. I ended up buying a $4 plastic binder at Office Max and cutting out a 4.5" x 11" piece off the back of the binder and then attached it to the visor with two velcro...

drb, no, the brake error was probably related to the 12v issues that many others are seeing. Most of the time my battery state of charge is above half so never saw this before or since. I'm a huge fan of "unleashing the REx" for mountain trips or longer drives by utilizing the same setup as...

yup, 25ft (made by Clipper Creek)- I bought a heavy duty 25 ft extension cord and keep both of them in the frunk

I'm embarassed by the horn - it's wimpy. why not the regular BMW horn? However, I'm more upset about the latency of the horn - hit the horn on the steering wheel and there is a noticeable delay to actually get noise! I think it's because the horn switch is networked (ethernet) on the car...

Someone over on the BMW i3 facebook group did the math and posted this table around max speed vs hill grade. Real life is probably a couple mph lower MPH % grade 81 0 74.25 1 67.5 2 60.75 3 54.9 4 49.5 5 44.55 6...

oops - found out that some of my most recently ripped CDs that are using the highest end of the apple lossless format are not playing correctly - sorry to get any hopes up

I had read elsewhere that some of the itunes formats didn't work on the i3 entertainment system. Thought I would try anyway and copied my itunes folder to a 64GB flash drive and was surprised to find that all formats play including apple lossless formats and accurately ingests all the metadata...

Anyone know if Apple lossless will play from a USB fash drive plugged in? I have an itunes library of about 38 GB and a mix of all formats include ALAC (apple lossless). If I can't import into the car's hard drive maybe buy a cheap 64 GB flash drive (I see one at micro center for $20) and keep...

I exited production around May 1. Not sure, but being on the west coast means there are fewer ships that come our way. There was a ship that left Bremerhaven to Port Hueneme and Tacoma on May 10. Car must not have gotten to Bremerhaven in time to make that ship. Next ship to the west coast...
