I don't have the app

So I need to get up in the middle of the night to go outside in the cold and (today anyway) rain to unplug my charger. I thought these cars were supposed to be intelligent and know how to manage themselves for best performance and durability.

I typically leave the car plugged in overnight using my home charger, and if I don't use the car on a given day it stays plugged in. It seems to me that it will usually be charged to 100% and stay that way until unplugged as I prepare to drive it. Why would you ever let it only get to 80-90% if...

That's also why I bought a Rex and would not buy a full electric anything until the charging infrastructure is much improved.

I didn't know that. It may be the reason, since in the past few days I only ran the battery down to half before reaching home and plugging back in

That was my thought too. But after a few occasional reads of 60 when I first got the i3, it's mostly shown consistently in the 55-57 mile range when reading "100%" in the HSOC screen. Now it still says 100%, but with miles showing 47. This readout change seems to have happened just within the...

Well, it's gone from 70s and 80s down to 40s and 50s, so I suppose that could be it. I hope it doesn't drop much further when temps get down to below freezing.

I bought a 2014 i3 Rex last summer with 55k miles on it. When I first got it, it would show 60 miles available on a full (overnight) charge. A couple of months later it started showing 55 miles. Now it's 5 months later, I go out to the car and it shows 47 miles with a full charge. The car only...

I don't have details. I felt and heard the clunking, discussed it with the owner of the dealership, and his service department performed the repair and the clunk went away. It was around the top of the shock tower. It could have been the rubber, but it felt more like the mount itself. I wish I...

I had this on my 14 Rex and it turned out to be a bad front left shock bushing. I noticed it within a week of buying the car so it was fixed under the 60 day warranty.

Thank you for posting this document, even if I think implementing it may be over my head. I just started experiencing the problem I've heard several others mention, where my seat heater turns on, then shuts off after 5 seconds or so and won't stay on after that no matter what I do. The...

I have a simple solution for that: Never wash the car. It'll only get dirty again anyway lol

I wonder if the lack of responses you got are due to confusion about exactly what you're asking. I'm not clear at all about what is the specific problem you're experiencing. Is it the Rex not turning on, not turning off, or something else?

I get what you're saying, and of course the window won't do its little dance without power. But I'm still at a loss to understand how a coded key, ordered directly from BMW (after they copied my license and registration as proof of ownership) as part of a keyfob, would not open the door or...

I just ordered a 2nd fob and the used car dealer I bought the car from got it for me from the BMW dealership at their cost, which is 20% off (and it was really nice of them to do that for me) but still over $400. He said they had to order it from the factory (after verifying my lic and reg) and...

Interesting point, I'll try it just to see, but so far I'm pretty satisfied with the pedal tuning and the quickness in general. Now if it only went faster than 92mph...

That's about what I figured. I look forward to finding out, but I'll always run in comfort mode. It's my car, it has to be comfortable

I bought an 03 Element EX new and my gf bought an 07, also new. Loved them both, mine got 18mpg with the 4-speed auto, hers got 25mph with the 5-speed auto. Had the seats in and out of both cars many times, it took maybe 2 minutes flat and seemed easy enough to be surprised you thought it a hassle.

My 14 Rex (bought last summer with 55k on it) usually shows 54 miles on battery plus 77 miles on Rex when starting out. I always use comfort mode and never hypermile (I just drive it like a normal ice car), and the range seems fairly accurate for Rex, if somewhat optimistic for battery. If I...

My previous daily ride was a 2014 Mazda CX-5 that I loved, but one test-drive last summer in my 14 i3 Rex and I was hooked. After selling the Mazda I only shelled out $2k for the i3. Almost a free car! No car payments for me. I kept my two classic cars, an 86 Caddy Fleetwood and a 71 Skylark...
