Hi there..
We just leased a 2017 i3 REX in the US ( we are in the Los Angeles area). Very nice car. It's primarily for my wife so she drives it everyday. The car has barely 150 miles on it.
Something odd happened this morning. I was there when it happened as it's the first day she's taking it to work.
She went to start the vehicle, pressing the Start/Stop button. Everything fires up as it should. Then she releases the parking brake, and then turns the iDrive know to R. Nothing happens. The system doesn't engage gear. We try D, R, etc over and over and nothing happens. Then the yellow check engine light appears.
We shut the vehicle down. Retry...and it engages fine. She drives off.
On the way home, it happens again when she starts the car at work to come home.
Any ideas what is going on? Is she doing something wrong? The two days I drove it, it seemed fine and nothing like that happened.
I know there is a recall on some REX's here in the States right now but I can't imagine a dealer selling one that is affected. I know BMW put a hold on sales.
I wanted to ask before I waste half a day at a dealership if anyone knew what might be happening.
Cheers.
