    Protonic Blue C01 touch-up paint not available at BMw

    However, I think I'm close to the solution.... :) I think that the c01 colour is a naming convention that BMW came up with to define that my car is painted in 2 colours..the c04 (protonic blue) and u83 (frozen gray). Not that both colours should be mixed up to get to the c01 but that the car...

    Protonic Blue C01 touch-up paint not available at BMw

    One paint shop has told me that the c04 has 2 variants...one brighter and one darker...perhaps the bright c04 is a match with c01 ???? No idea... :cry:

    Protonic Blue C01 touch-up paint not available at BMw

    Yes..the c04 is a bit darker than the c01, so not an exact match. This is the issue...but not sure.....

    Protonic Blue C01 touch-up paint not available at BMw

    Hi, I have some small scratches on my bumper that I would like to touch- up with some paint but my car's colour, protonic blue C01, is not available at BMW nor in any aftermarket supplier like Motip, etc. I can only find protonic blue C04 but not sure if it a correct match. Anyone with a...

    Coding sport mode on a non i3s

    Hi, I've read that you can add sport mode to a non i3s with bimmercode. Has anyone done this ? Is there any difference in performance or in any other respect vs comfort mode ? Thanks for your help.

    Home charger not working: red light is on.

    Sorry...I assumed all BMW i3 owners had the same domestic charger, the one coming as default with the car...but perhaps some cars come with other brands... Anyway, my domestic charger is from Kopp. See pic here: https://ibb.co/4Vchg88

    Home charger not working: red light is on.

    Hi, My domestic (Kopp) charger does not want to start charging my i3. I plug it in to the 220v socket, it does some internal tests but then goes from green to red light indicating some error has been detected. The first light nearest to the mains cable and on the right side (status of the...

    Main battery "too high discharge" warning

    So I just installed the BMW OEM 12v battery on my i3. Car is working fine. The most tricky part was to dissengage and engage the main battery safety connector without damaging it. . But with some wiggeling and pulling up when disengaging, and prying away a little plastic tab on the left side...

    Main battery "too high discharge" warning

    Now thankfully, all interior light are off when the car is locked...seems the car starts behaving strangely when the battery level drops...shame I did not do the soc reading when the problems began.

    Main battery "too high discharge" warning

    Thanks for the video. I downloaded the Bimmerlink app free version on my android phone and managed to connect to my car using a Unicarscan odb adapter. The SoC of the 12v battery shows 77% and now the warning message on the dash is no longer appearing. I did use the car for some short trips a...

    Main battery "too high discharge" warning

    Yes, I checked the dealer and they want 146 EUR for the OEM battery...so I will buy it from BMW since the Yuasa is 110 EUR. One other thing not in favour of the Yuasa is that i discovered on a YouTube video that the terminals are not the same. The OEM terminals once you screw off the metal...

    Main battery "too high discharge" warning

    Ok, yes I will try to replace it Asap. However I can not find the Remy nor Deka 18L batteries to be bought nor shipped here in Spain. I have found a similar one: YUASA YTX24HL-BS. It is AGM, 12v, 340 CCA (not 330) and 20ah. Is the yuasa battery the right one for the i3 ? I guess a higher CCA...

    Main battery "too high discharge" warning

    Hi, This morning I noticed that the car had the red brake light, the red triangle warning light and red parking break light on. I reckon the lights had been on all night. I usually leave the car open, since it is sitting in my private garage. But the car shuts it self off after a while. I took...

    Hi, I have connected an old PC hard disc to the USB connector below the armrest to listen to music via the media option on the idrive. However the listening volume is much lower than if you for instance switch to radio....Is there an option on the idrive or coding with bimmercode to increase...

    Remote Key fob battery discharging problem w. Easy access

    Well...don't think my key is being pressed while I'm in the car driving. When I store the key in the jar, in fact it is a blue Nivea tin jar, the car cannot be opened if locked before. So I'm sure there is no communication between the car and the key while the key is in the tin jar. Will swap...
