I had this problem with the LHS door on my i3. I posted my experience in this thread: http://www.mybmwi3.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1905

I had this issue a few months ago with the LHS (passenger) door. The remote was working and the inside button was moving appropriately but the door wouldn't open from the outside or the inside. I was going to return the car to the BMW service centre but I "fixed" the issue with a firm (but not...

Thanks for this information. It helped me get my car talking to the BMW Connected Drive server after it was offline for the best part of a week. Pulling the fuse is easy and does not require any tools.

Glad you got it working :-) Have you taken a photo of all the stuff under the seat? How did you remove the rear seat?

Having had no iRemote access to my i3 for over a week now and having today received confirmation from BMW that all is well with my account on their server I was facing the prospect of another warranty visit to the BMW service centre. However, this evening I thought that I would try fiddling...

I agree with the previous post. The "skittish" behaviour with side winds is definitely to do with the i3 being high sided but with all the weight so low presenting a very low angular momentum to side wind loading. What definitely works very well for handling on bends in fact works against the...

Mine has also not been working at all with the iRemote app for the past four days or so. I am also based in the UK. I contacted BMW and they confirmed that there is some issue with their servers preventing it from working. I have given up on it for the moment and have learned how to set up...

Data below from the UK i3 Brochure / Price list. Standard charge Specification: AC Type 2 / Mode 2 Charging Cable / up to 2.4kw / 10Amp Charging time (h): < 7 for 0-80% State of Charge Might well be a different spec for Central Europe though.

My spec. is on the signature below. It would be nice to meet other i3 owners and actually see another physical i3. I have only ever seen and driven my own i3. I never test drove or even viewed one before ordering mine. It is most strange to be driving, what is for me, a totally unique car.

I have a Chargemaster EVSE and it works just fine with my i3. It is the 7kW 30A one with an integrated cable and cost me £95. It is also lockable with a tubular key.

I am in the UK, so also ~220V (more like 240V actually). Here is a photo of my standard EVSE that came with the car: Obviously your one will have a "Schuko" type European plug on it. The rated current that it draws from the supply when connected is actually 10A. It is also worth mentioning...

I think that the rear view camera, when it works (as mine occasionally does not start when I engage reverse) is good for spotting unexpected low level obstacles. However, due to its wide angle lens, I find it less useful for judging position, e.g. when reversing into a parking space (i.e. not...

The real problem I have found when attempting to use public charging points, like these at ASDA in Greenwich, is the sheer ignorance of ICE car drivers: This photo I took shows eight parking bays with access to four AC Type 2 Mode 3 Ports on two EVSE posts. All the spaces were occupied and...

The Rain sensor with auto. headlight activation has failed on my i3. They were working OK when the car was first delivered. With the light switch in the auto position the dipped headlights are fully on, even on a bright sunny day and the auto wiper function does not work even in heavy rain. I...

Here are the problems I have seen so far with the Infotainment/PDC: Occasionally, the rear parking camera does not come on when I put the car in reverse, though the rear sensors (not sure about the front) do seem to work. Occasionally, when playing media from the phone (HTC One) over BT and...

My bike fits into the boot (trunk) perfectly! I think that the bike and car were made for each other. In fact, I will need this next week for onward travel to the office when the i3 has its first visit to the BMW menders.
