I think for altering the service menus - reaet interval etc. you dont need the secret code you have to do the code number each time to look at the hidden menu batt. temp. and charge levels

search this site for the unlock method to display service menu on your steering wheel display: It operates something like this: Push and hold trip meter button until menus appear, push again to scroll down the menus "Unlocking" if you want the service submenu. Press and hold then rapidly press...

early models sold new in NZ were I think CCS1 but the infrastructure was standardised on rapidcharge plug standards Chademo and CCS2. So BMW recalled cars already sold and changed the charge port. I'm suggesting that you can probably do the same, get a european port assembly fitted so long as...

Most likely if you have a 220V EVSE (mains to car cable) it will be OK for home charging. Mine is ex-Japan and came with a Clipper Creek (USA) unit which is spec'd for 240V and 50/60 Hz 15 Amps which can be fitted with the Europe "commando" plug widely used in campsites here but I dont know...

It also wont do a mtce run if the fuel is too low, wont let you open the fuel flap unless the fuel is low and battery state is below 75%. I tend to give the REX a run for 10 mins each 2 months when on a journey, as its annoying when it starts to come on with a short trip only to get shut down...

vreihen's reply is right, it can be done with Esys but is a lot of sweat and risk - the software is on MegaNZ and the cable NZ$15 at ebay.com/itm/322552801164 I did it this way because someone said the NZ maps wont work on a Japan spec car This is still a work in progress I believe iCarly is a...

When you said your front track increased by 15mm I think you made a typo and it would be 30mm if you fitted two spacers, like the rear 40mm = 2x 20mm. BMW technical training I01 Chassis and suspension ST1403a lists the Rex rims as front 5J x 19(or 20) offset = 43 and rear 5.5J x 19(or 20)...

double post deleted

you say 40mm track increase at rear and 15mm at front ? did you decide not to fit a 15mm spacer on the poky side/ I just went out and measured mine, all round the widest part of the sidewall, roughly the centre of the rims, sits on a line 15mm inside the top of the extent of the whell arch. As...

thanks yes I tried to post BMW coding registered 6 mths ago but havent been enabled to make posts yet I'm still in the moderators que I have registered again but that is still in the que so cant post or reply to anything or send PM - nothing

So a followup on DIY i3 coding the hard way Start by reading the tutorial and getting the ethernet / OBD adapter and a copy of E-Sys with tokenmaster here: https://www.bmwblog.com/2014/10/11/coding-tutorial-bmw-i3-electric-car/ The steps I use on the i3 are E-Sys resides on my PC within a VM...

models prior to 2016 had a moisture problem built into the REX generator If you want to try drying it but cant run the REX on the road then maybe you can run it on the exhaust gas test mode: copied from technical training BMW Group University - I01 Displays and Controls tailgate open switch on...

The best technical info I have found is here https://attachments.priuschat.com/attachment-files/2016/07/108943_12_W20-Engine.pdf I hope i dont have to use it

I'm guessing youre in NA, Mine is ex japan and came with a ClipperCreek (USA) 16 Amp box. I think all the charging controllers have GFI functionality. it wont matter if your house is just a fuse or GFI (other than nuisance trip) The ClipperCreek works on USA 2 phase outlets like washing room...

There is supposed to be a pedestrian sounder mounted in the front on passenger side, operating at low speeds On my i3 it is enabled from a settings menu I had a friend listen to it outside the car, I dont hear it when driving

V2G might be possible with the Japan model i3 which has a Chademo rapid charge connector as does the Leaf, a bidirectional DC flow is part of the spec. This would only be useful if a cheap enough inverter is available on the market and I think only useful in times of power mains outages, rather...

Its an electrically operated lock in the transmission, very similar to normal auto transmission park lock. The i3 will prevent engagement until wheels are turning slow enough, but if it grabs early there will be some uncomfortable lurching. It also can't engage with no movement at all, so the...

I'd let the problems settle for a while. I think the sensors are ultrasonic so might get waterlogged. There are only 3 official BMWi places in the North. Coombes have a place at Tauranga https://www.bmw.co.nz/en/integration/dlo.html I phoned Winger in the Hutt because I was going that way...

Thanks Mark, about the maps, is yours a Japan or UK version car? - just read your other post - UK version may be easier The BMWi dealer told me its difficult for Japan cars and I have to get them to disconnect the telematics and put the car onto the NZ services first. Then they get AutoGravity...
