The latest issue with this car that I love and hate all at the same time. We were driving at night, thankfully in light traffic on 101, and suddenly the interior lights came on, the car started bonging, and the drivetrain malfunction light came on. This is a BEV i3. I though it went into a...

Went to go to work this morning... had that "uh oh" flash as I unplugged the car and realized the port was blue, not green. When I started the car, the battery-cooling fan kicked into high (I thought the car was going to explode!), the dash chimed over and over and the car cycled through every...

Anyone else having issues with condensation in their taillights?

Hi All, Just got back from having the current software update, and while I expected my settings to be zapped, I also found that all BMW Online and ConnectedDrive features are gone. The app can't connect to my car either. I thought it might be something they could reenable over-the-air, so I...

Anyone here find a way to switch the traction setting with one press, or long press? As a previous M3, 650 and 550 owner, the first thing I always did getting in my previous cars (at least the 650 and 550) was long press on Sport to get it into Sport+ where I'd set up traction and steering...

Anyone here get a BEV i3 from Mountain View BMW? If so, did they handle your HOV sticker request for you? I swear when I was doing my financial paperwork they put the request in, she even told me that I can't drive in the HOV lane until I get the stickers (which came up as I was signing the...

Where are people putting the California HOV stickers? Yiiikes posted these pics: http://www.mybmwi3.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1134 But I'm wondering what other people have done. There's not a whole lot of space to put them, from what I can tell... and I hate disrupting BMWs design. I'm...

I'm starting this, having no idea what the most recent version is. Thought it would be worthwhile to have a single place (maybe pinned?) to look and see what the latest known version is for reference when talking to service advisors. I'm taking my BEV in to have them clear a fault code for...

My i3 gets handed over to me this evening (or tomorrow ), and I'm freaking out a little about owning this as my primary car. I don't commute far, we have a '13 328i we can use for long trips, but moving from a fully loaded '11 550i to this is going to be nail-biting. From a distance...

Hi all, I'm (hopefully) picking my i3 up tonight, and I had a couple of questions I was wondering about (but can't find due to no online manual). 1) I've read somewhere that the i3 locks the charger in when you lock the doors, thus making someone who needs the plug if your car is charged...
