I have a scratch/gouge 1mm - 2 mm deep on one white body panel, which I need to get fixed. I don't believe any panelbeaters in my area will have come across CRP before. I'm wondering what information I can give them that will help them to know what is required: What fill material should be...

Climate change is increasingly making itself felt through heavy rain events. What is the recommended practice for driving an 13 when flood waters of various depths are encountered - and why? Clearly if water remains below the level of the sill then proceeding is OK, but what about levels above this?

I'm wondering what depth of water it is safe to drive through i a BEV i3. And what are the things that will stop it?

Talking about a 94kWh 2016 BEV. Have had it for a couple of years now and it has consistently over-estimated the remaining range. I never look at this with my normal driving around town, but it suddenly becomes very relevant when on a 100km plus open road trip. The over-estimate is not caused...

A friend has a Nissan Leaf and showed me a screen from his LeafSpy app. It showed a really useful table of metrics from each of his recent trips - one row for each trip - covering distance travelled, state of charge, energy used and a whole lot of other useful data (teh details of which I can no...

I have just dropped my 2016 BEV i3 into the garage to have an annual service check. It's just done 50,000 kms. They informed me that it should have a complete recharge of the aircon system "because the aircon is used to cool the battery and if you don't, then the battery could overheat and...

My i3 had been unused while we were away for 2 months. I had connected the 12V battery to a solar panel, through a controller, to keep it charged. When we got home, the car was dead. A cigarette lighter voltmeter showed a reading of < 10V. (This time last year, all was fine with this regime.)...

I posted here a few months ago about one on my parking sensors triggering erroneously. Just in case this traps another owner, it turned out to be as follows: I had fitted a TorkLift EcoHitch towbar (well, really a bike carrier mount). Initially I just had the hitch and then, some weeks later...

It hasn't happened (yet) but I'm wondering .... What happens when the 12V battery fails? Does it leave you unable to start the car (and drive to a dealer) - or what?

Can someone please let me know the sort of things that BimmerCode can't do that a more elaborate system can. I'm trying to figure out what option it might make sense for me to get. I understand that a BimmerCode adapter will cost around $50. What does the app cost? I believe the other options...

I have a replacement sensor arriving from AliExpress next week. Before I'm ready to tackle this job I want to know exactly how I go about removing the old sensor from the bumper (and fixing the replacement in place). Has anyone done this and can offer some advice, please?

Just this morning all my rear proximity sensors are triggering. I have washed them all, but it is still doing it. Any ideas? 2016 BEV

Hi, new to i3. My car starts in Comfort mode. Is there a way to get it to start in EcoPro by default?

Hi, I've had an i3 for about a month. I intend to monitor the battery capacity through the hidden menu at the start of every month. When I got the car I managed to access the "hidden menus" on the heads up screen. (hold the button on the side of the screen for 10 secs). Now, when I try to access...

My first post on here. Bought a 2016 BEV a couple of weeks ago - so I'm right at the bottom of the learning curve. For the past week whenever I turn the car onto Drive, I get a warning in the centre display, saying "Electric charge insufficient": with a red icon. The next line says "Find...
