Thanks Alohart! Do you know of any links which show the procedure to remove the climate control circuit board and which LEDs to use? I am adept at soldering and I'd rather not take it to the dealer if it's not too difficult.

My 2014 Rex has been doing this for over a year or two. Some of the dash LEDs are off when they should be on and some flicker from time to time. The associated functions do not seem to be affected when this happens. I've learned to ignore it for now, sometimes I can press the associated...

I've seen the blank display with "No Signal", twice on my 2014 Rex, in fact it happened just yesterday. Both times the system rebooted itself in about 30 seconds while I continued driving. It is interesting as I did have a check engine light which turned on yesterday sometime before the "No...

In the 4+ years I've had my i3 Rex, I seemed to hear about how good the battery management system is on the i3, yet according to this recent article the i3 was the worst of the 5 tested vehicles which were mostly 2018 models...

I have a 2014 Rex with 60000+ miles so my free oil changes are over. I've searched the list and found some postings on DIY oil changing. I don't think it would be very difficult, just would need to get the right oil and filter. The other thing is that my display shows that this was due in...

At around 50,000 miles the rear tires on my '14 Rex were more than ready for replacement. Unfortunately at the time, Costco could not get the fronts as well so I had them just do the rears. The new tires on the rear and the old tires on the front caused the DSC to kick in on curves where it...

I was finally able to put on a set of new front tires and the problem with the DSC I talked about earlier after replacing only the rear tires has gone away. So apparently the mismatch of tire diameters with new tires on the rear and old tires on the front was enough to confuse the computer into...

Not aware of any annual safety inspections in California, I've certainly never run across them in almost 50 years of driving. There are some checks during smog tests but don't think they include safety checks with regard to something like tires, just pollution related things. You can get a...

See Tires! Don't know if the images will work but I've posted pictures of all my original 19" tires on my 2014 Rex with 43000 miles. I was going to replace all of them even though the fronts had some miles left on them but I couldn't get the front replacement tires yet. So I only ended up...

Maybe BMW decided that they were not making enough money on brakes :o More to the point, I just received my gas line recall notice, but had also received a software update letter some time ago. With which software version did you notice the regen reduction? I'm running I001-16-03-505 now...

This is interesting. I've noticed a couple of times in the last few days when I hit the A/C button to turn it off (but just keep the fan running) that the air does seem to be colder than expected. I have the latest software update, etc. Does anyone know what is being done to fix this besides...

I just press in and hold the top button on the left side of the steering wheel which normally adjusts the following distance. I think you can press the bottom one as well for this. Not sure where you are so your steering wheel may be different from mine. It's good to put your general location...

This can be common when driving into the sun and the angle is low. The ACC uses a camera and it can be blinded so it disengages. My commute is East in the morning when the sun is coming up and West in the evening when the sun is going down. At certain times of the year when the angles are just...

Forgot to mention these are the 19" Ecopia EP600 tires, the ones that came with the car. Not sure of the reason for all the poor mileage reports I've seen out there, perhaps it's due to spirited driving, bad roads, alignment issues or ?

On my 2014 Rex, I've got 27000+ miles. The tires still look pretty good with the fronts somewhat better than the rears. I'd say 10000 more miles for the rear and 15000 for the front. I do mostly freeway driving.

From my experience Low Cost Charging is buggy and unreliable and you should not depend on it to have your car charged and ready when you need it. I've kept charging records for months and it failed to charge 4 times in two months for example. Fortunately my wife gets up early was able to check...

My Nav screen rebooted once in 19000 miles. I was pretty surprised to see this because obviously it shouldn't do this. Don't know if it logs an error code if this happens but it would be pretty hard to prove otherwise. If it did it often I would definitely contact the dealer.

I'm having low cost charging issues using the Clipper Creek HCS-40 I have in my garage. Is this known to be a problem unit? I have never tried low cost charging on any other EVSE so I have nothing to compare to and the charging issues are somewhat infrequent anyway. Is there a list of EVSE...

What is the emergency charge path? It would have been handy to know this when my 12V battery died a month ago and left the car stranded in my garage. It might have avoided having to wait for a tow and saved some time getting the car to the dealer for repair. Also any special guidelines to...

Sorry, that's not what happened in in my case. I have a level 2 charger which when things work normally (as it does most of the time) charges my car during the night (low cost), usually at around 1 AM for about about 2 1/2 hours. The event I wrote about should have been just one of those...
