HI everybody,
I picked up a 2015 BeV off lease for a good price. I love it, but I have some questions I can’t find answers for online. Hopefully with time I’ll be able to answer questions for the next class of i3 owners.
1. iDrive is great, but when I hold the voice button to activate Siri, Siri’s voice is at a much lower volume than everything else - the radio, Bluetooth music, phone calls... are all equally loud and Siri is wayyyyy quieter. Is there an option that may be on/off/low?
2. I fully charged it at home today (I did not need to drive today) and I was able to unplug the charger from the car without unlocking the car. I thought I had to unlock the car first. Maybe the charger unlocks when it fully charges?
3. Is it safe to charge in the rain? Should the provided level 1 charger be put it a bag or something while in the frunk? Or is it waterproof?
4. What products do you all recommend to keep it clean? Specifically all the glass?
Thanks in advance. I honestly never thought I’d drive (afford) a BMW. I’m rally impressed with the ride and design. This is a 2nd car for my family and since I usually walk a few blocks to grab the commuter rail to Boston, I’m hoping this is a long term / short range auto.
