If your 12v actually went "dead" then it is "bad" and you need a new one. The car will not allow the 12v battery to drain like that unless there is something wrong with the battery or the car. Also- once the 12v dies for whatever reason, it messes up a bunch of computer things and nothing...

Did you pay the $120? What is the build date of your car? It is on the Black VIN plate on the door frame (door hinge area) Also- there is no "bluetooth/wifi workaround". You either have Connected Service or you don't.

It is now called the MYBMW app. The early models relied on 3G cell service. In the USA, 3G was discontinued in early 2022 so no more service for 2014-2016 vehicles. Other countries have different rules/services but all connections to the car have to FIRST go through BMW servers. If they no...

An adapter will not do you any good. If a Magic Dock is not installed you won't be able to use the SuperCharger. Period. For SuperChargers with Magic Dock, you need to use the TESLA APP to initiate the charge and pay. Otherwise they will lock you out from using the SuperCharger.

My experience while DC Charging is that the car cannot be "on" with the cabin heater running. Everything must be OFF during DC Charging. You may find that the battery will warm up slightly but not that much. My first experience DC charging was when temp was about -6C and the max speed was...

Not really as those are the same photos posted to the Twitter comment I posted. So not "novel" enough I guess if some random person can post them to Twitter last year.

How did they get the exact same photo you posted? Did you post this in other groups/forums? If so, where?

can you explain why this same image was posted to Twitter in September 2022? Also- story is "similar" but nothing about a Tow Truck. In the Twitter post someone "ran her off the road".

You didn't have insurance?

was this a REX model?

"Drivetrain error" is like a "Check Engine light" for this car. If it goes away on its own, it is not really a problem. My car has thrown that several times over the past 3 years. You would have to look at the error codes to see what the error referred to. The "drop in range" part is odd but...

1) some. mostly on the 60ah models at this point 2) Yes, but only in respect to degrading below 70% for warranty replacement. Actual "failure" is very rare. 3) 12v battery is the most common source of failure/issues. Plan to change it out. The car gives you little to no warning in advance...

if you plug it into the AC charger (granny), can you lock the car so the little locking pin comes out and locks the charging handle in place? It should also release when you unlock the car. If it is not working, that would be the first thing to address as it is not really necessary for AC...

Call a towing service to see if they can use a SlimJim to unlock the door via the window in some way? break a window?

USA-based (Chicagoland area). Charging at home. When people ask "How much did your electric bill go up?" or "How much does it cost?" The easiest answer I have found is that I can go 100 miles for about $4. How far anyone can go with an ICE vehicle depends on their milage and the cost of...

Classic signs of failing 12v battery aka: "the smaller battery in front". Or do you have something plugged into the OBD port under the dash?

it is not just the screen that needs to be changed like the earlier models. You apparently need to replace the Head Unit as well.
