    Returning my i3 for a refund

    We have the same issue in Canada (same reduced fuel tank as well?), and aside from my CEL being on (and waiting for a software upgrade), the car has performed and functioned beautifully since I picked it up 3 weeks ago.

    remote app

    All that is fine but it is not what I am referring to. I want to be able to track where my car is and how fast it is going at any given time by looking at the phone. If I lend out my car or it is stolen or my kid has it. Just like I can do with my Model S or Roadster or any on star car. There...

    remote app

    Thanks for the hint about the time to complete charge. For the real time location I am talking about going onto the app and seeing where the car is, at all times, not just when it has been shut down. I would like to be able to see the location of the car as it moves and its speed.

    remote app

    1. Add real time battery status (while car is driving) 2. Add real time location polling at a minimum and tracking if possible 3. Ability to open car remotely (not currently possible for North American models) 4. Display time to complete charge on the app 5. Set a specific target temperature for...

    Perfect. I will be sure to throw this in the service guy's face if he tries to mention it again

    Returning my i3 for a refund

    I know it is BS but that's what they were implying and the more facts i have the better. You do make a good point about the public chargers!

    Returning my i3 for a refund

    My CEL came back on again today. It came on last week after 4 days, BMW reset it and said there is not much to do until a new software version comes out and now it is back so I guess i will just ignore it for now. I have two questions for all of you: 1. Has anyone without a Rex experienced this...

    Early Impressions of an Electronaut - The Annoyances Part I

    The is no remote unlocking from the app (in Canada I can confirm 100% and I suspect the USA as well). They told me this was for security reasons if someone finds your phone but that is BS. With an app password they could also implement a feature password and nobody could tamper with the...

    BMW i Remote app issues

    I have the same screen except the open vehicle box is missing. Maybe the Canadian app is different. And yes the remote services are working otherwise. A guy from BMW Canada just messaged me that in Canada it is NOT possible to unlock from the app. Great! better be careful locking from the app...

    BMW i Remote app issues

    I guess maybe it's not available on the iphone app. Anyone have the iphone app and seen how to unlock the car with it?

    BMW i Remote app issues

    Maybe I missed it somewhere? Can you post a screenshot of your app where this option is located? Or describe it? Are you using an iOS version of the app?

    US Market - No Traffic Jam Assist on i3?

    I picked up my canadian i3 yesterday and while I have the tech package (including what they call Driving Assistant Plus) and while the canadian website DOES say that Traffic Jam Assist is included with these options, I cannot see the appropriate button on my steering wheel for this nor fins a...

    BMW i Remote app issues

    That really kind of sucks that you cannot see real time location information except when the car gets turned off. Every other car monitoring app I have had or seen can do this. You should be able to also remotely see the range in real time as the car is moving. I can't really see the rationale...

    BMW i Remote app issues

    I got my i3 Rex today and my i remote app for iphone was downloaded and connected no problem to the car (the dealer had configured my email and password beforehand). I am, however, experiencing some frustration with the app. If anyone has played with it, some hints would be very helpful. My main...

    Technical Questions about chargers

    Got it. On BMW's documentation here in Canada, the refer to the option as DC Fast charging. I now understand they should probably refer to it as DC Rapid charging.

    Technical Questions about chargers

    I am a little confused. I thought that the DC Fast charging option (for which they are charging an additional $750 in Canada when buying the car) was only useful for public charging stations that would fast charge, not for the home charging solutions. If I get a home charger (or portable...

    Technical Questions about chargers

    Sorry, I am in Canada. My 14-50 plug in the wall can supply 40A (50A circuit breaker) and 240V so supplying 32A is not an issue.
