    New to i3 CarPlay - how to start playing music

    Often when I get into the car, CarPlay loads but music is paused. I'm usually in the waze map screen so the music controls are not immediately available. I find I have to navigate to the 'music' screen and select 'play' to start. I can't find any quick way to select play/pause. Am I missing...

    Rear seat, plastic car seat plug covers all broke together

    Just purchased a 2018 i3s and noticed one of the seat plug covers was broken. Dealer parts dept. says they are $40. Sure would be nice if they were under warranty

    As anyone driven a US spec REx equipped i3 yet?

    Discharging the battery to a level as low as 6% will quickly cause deterioration of the battery Not that you will see immediately but it will drastically shorten the battery life Many articles are about explaining the discharge vs life of the battery but in very general terms, the more you...

    How REX works?

    I was interested in the Rex but am now probably going bev due to the battery strain that the deep cycles would cause In USA and canada, we can't manually turn on the Rex In Europe it can be engaged anywhere after 70% charge remaining Deep cycles drastically reduce the battery life It will be...

    Rain sensor with auto. headlight activation has failed

    Same as my 1 It doesn't auto enable so it won't come on in a car wash. My wives benz is auto enabled and can easily cause damage if you forget to turn off in a car wash

    Time from start of production until delivery in USA

    So is it supposed to be a 2014 model? I would expect the model year to be changing to 2015 in the fall possibly?

    i3 newbie seeking advices

    I think he meant 'A' country, not 'the' country. In Canada and USA, we have 120v house service. Most of Europe have 240v house mains so they get a much faster charge even with a 'slow' charger.

    Canada

    Does anyone know if BMW canada intends to install fast chargers at dealer sites? If they did, this would be enough for me to get the fast charger option. ... Rob

    Rex does not charge battery

    Stevei3, that makes sense. I didn't know how they could just power the motor so it's probably just wording so non electronic types could understand it. Thanks for the clarification. ... Rob

    Rex does not charge battery

    Not sure if this is correct or not but according to BMW tech info, the REx only powers the motor and does not charge the battery. Interesting! http://darrenortiz.com/website_pdfs/BMWi3PG.pdf - Page 37 ... Rob

    Speedo wildly inaccurate

    I don't have an i3 'yet' My 1 series is the same. I had a software mod done so the digital display could show the REAL speed but the normal analogue dial and digital info all show a few % high. I think all BMW's do this now. Very annoying. I was hoping that going to an i3 would eliminate this...
