Please don't misinterpret me - I'm sure not saying there are no knowledgeable techs working for BMW- I'm just saying the technology is new and the mechanics are not - unless you're living in a make believe world, you have to understand in most cases you can't even get a conventional gas powered...

The preconditioning function for the I3 is somewhat complicated, from what I'm seeing you can engage it three ways: 1) Set it in the setting menu while in the car 2) Program it with a departure time on I Remote 3) Select to immediate Pre-heating via I Remote What puzzled me is I had all...

Not sure what if anything why my profile has to do with it but we're in N Ga. Don't take my word for it check some of the major city BMW dealers and you'll see few have any I3 inventory.

Word is from some pretty responsible sources is the I3 is being dropped by the majority of the BMW dealers - the reason are they don't enough "good" manpower to dedicate to electric cars. For these reasons, you're going to see only regional dealers handing the I3 where they can specialize on...

Dude its an "Electric Car" you could run an stuff for months!

Same problem drove me crazy the latch is not releasing what i do now is just dont push it all the way down and it works perfect. Something to do wher the release is not lifting it out of the lock position.

Thanks for the detailed report - I too was really disappointed with the app- regarding the temperature setting with the remote I "Think" the temperature setting will be what ever temperature you have it set on when you power down the car. If anyone has a fix or alternative please let us know...

Myself, I really don't have any real issues other than the absence of a start option - regarding the warranty issue, I really don't feel that is anything to worry about - first off, there is virtually no one at the dealers that even have a clue what these cars are about or how to fix them. Other...

Ok guys looks like we're in luck - the biggest problem with the I3 might be solved - this is the email I just received from DVDinMotion Hello Mike, Thank you for your interest in our services. Our software is fully compatible with your car and you are welcome to place an order. We can also...

Jeff, Thanks for the reply - quick question - since the coding is USB ported is it not a temp thing that resets when the stick is pulled back out. Thanks for the link - the only thing I can find wrong with my I3 is the simple fact I can't start the darn motor when I want to - other than that...

Would seem to me this can not be too difficult since the overseas version has the "Hold" feature. Of all the coding available out there this is one of the most important. I understand for certification of electric distance verses gasoline distance the electric has to go further and they have to...

I ran this same engine in a bike and you virtually can't wear them out - unlike a bike where the engine goes through hell - this engine is sitting there at a constant load happy as can be. Keep in mind this ain't no Briggs or Kohler This engine situation is no different than any small car...

Not sure this is correct the engine in the I3 is a refined bike engine and i cant see why it could not be used on an everyday schedule, its just a generator supplying power to the batteries and motor. .

Some things are better left alone, try just enjoying the the goal silence only this great car can afford.

Been reading up a bit and I understand in Europe the driver can start the kicker engine at will, is there a software mod we install so we have that capability?. It would be nice to on occasion to be able to start the engine just to make sure its going to run when you need it. Thanks Mike

Im sure this has been answered before but if you keep filling the gas tank could you continue to drive the I3 long distances? Thanks Mike
