Looks like its a no go. This is what the BMW service center said: "Unfortunately the replacement of the right camber arm would not be covered under your CPO warranty. There is physical damage to the arm it self and it would not be covered under the CPO warranty. It looks like at some point...

So my car was a CPO and it has this warranty here.. is it good for this repair? The BMW place just gave me a price so I assume they checked and it wasnt covered? "Certified Pre-owned (5 years / 999,999 miles)" in "Hyeract" status.

The itemization is: REAR AXLE 1241.28 *4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT 240.00 I probably shoulda taken it to my local car shop that does my toyota... they have a fair price.. But I thought maybe some electronic issues and they wouldn't know how to fix it.. Too late now..

The problem is the real axel suspension is broken. Wonder how this happen. Close to $1500 to fix and get a realignment. They took a video. Here's the still image

I think this is starting to make sense. SO my wife said before this happen that day, she was driving and heard a loud pop. She thought maybe she ran over a nail and it hit the tire. When she got home, the tires looked fine and the tire pressure was normal. Then she used the car again and that's...

Last week my wife was driving the 2017 I3 on the freeway and the steering became really unstable like she got a flat.. She pulled over and didn't see anything wrong. She continued to drive and same thing happened. After calling the SOS, they told her try turning traction control off. So she...

Thanks. Make sense! I notice the jump from 80% to 90% is still very fast.. Within minutes.. I barely have time to walk back to the car before its at 90%. Good to know it will start to slow down drastically as it approaches 100%. Will definitely move it out. (Also Electrify America charges an...

Is there any issues charging past 80% with the level 3 DC chargers? I've been using Electrify America to charge on longer trips, and I thought its suppose to kick me off at 80% but it seems to keep going. I usually grab food while the car is charging, I manage to unplug the charger ta 92% but...

Great analysis. I was calculating it as 33 kW (90Ah) battery gets me 85 miles and charging that battery costs: At Home: 33 x .09 /kWh = $2.97 Away: 33 x 0.43 /kWH = $14.19 But then I didnt know how much gas cost it would run if I ran purely on gas. Looks like your math is good!

Ahh perfect.. I thought the default % REX kicks in was 15%.

I just coded my car and tested the HSC feature. I drove and hit the button at 50% and it seem work fine.. Then I turned it off... WHen I got close to home, the battery was below 10% and I assumed the regular hold state of charge would kick in but it didnt.. So I manually turned it back on...

My super off-peak electric rates is $0.09 / kWh so it makes charging cheap. The public rates are like $0.43 /kWh which seems like it makes the car more expensive to drive than normal gas powered vehicles. Is it more cost efficient to use the HSC when traveling past i3 range, or is it cheaper...

I have the 94Ah battery. 200 mile as in round trip. We driving to OC, spending 2 hours, and then driving back. I just checked out the ABRP. Looks cool, but looks like we would need 2 stops. One there, and one back. Is there a way to use that to set a round trip? I got around that by doing 30%...

So I set up low cost charging and it makes me set a departure time.. I just set it for 9AM every day... I know its suppose to do some kind of warming up of the battery... My low cost charging time is 12AM to 6AM... Is there anything bad for setting a 9AM departure time? Sometimes we drive at...

I fixed it!!! Apparently after coding was done, my date/time setting was not set anymore... And the stupid computer wont let me set a departure time without the date/time.. I finally noticed when I turned on the car, it said please set date/time.. After setting the date and time, the departure...

This is so frustrating. It used to work but now I cannot set a departure time. It cannot be set vis the car or the app. Since i cannot set departure time, i cannot set the car to low cost charging. This only happen after coding. Anyone know what to do? I basically coded the HSC and the...

This is strange.. I did the coding and everything seems fine.. But now I cant set the charge timer to 12AM. It stays on charge immediately. When I try to change the setting and send to the vehicle, it fails. This never happened before. Anyone know whats up? I messed around with it more and it...

Sounds good. Never knew about HSC until yesterday. I just ordered the bluetooth OBD thing from amazon, comes tomorrow!

How does coding work. Do I just use BimemrCode and an adaptor like this...

I live in San Diego and need to drive to Orange County. Assuming a full charge, and full gas tank.. and stopping by the gas station to refill when gas is low, can I drive the i3 with range extender okay for 200 miles? Most of the miles will be on freeway... Once the charge goes down, will the...
