Hi, My car has the easy access option, I.e. no need to press the key fob open button to open up the car. Just have the key in my pocket and the car gives me access. This is all ok, if it were not for the constant need to replace the small battery in the key fob every 2 months or so. Obviously...

Sorry to hear that some of you have had problems with the AC system and that this issue is insultingly expensive to solve... However, I do have some doubts. Does someone know the improvements implemented in the newer versions of the compressor? What made the compressor to blow up in the first...

Hi, Yes, please give us all the details! What happened after full recharge of the new battery? Was any coding needed? What is the new kilometer range with 100% charge? Do you know new net battery capacity recognised by the car? Thanks for sharing with us.

From what can be seen in the Parts diagrams, the engine mount problem was not entierly fixed in late 2015 since the 2 engine mounts (parts no. 3 and 4) were updated again in july 2017....not sure why but obviously due to problems or design improvements. My i3 is MY2016, should I be worried? :roll:

Hi, Has anyone suceeded in having the SLI (speed limit information) icon displayed on the instrument cluster ? There seems to be an emulator device that you plug in to the car that tricks the ECU to show the SLI without having the factory on board camera option installed. I've seen this on...

Glad you fixed the problem.... that was really a scary one!!!! Is there a way to know the health of the 12v battery with bimmerlink or entering the car's dash hidden menu?

Great post!! One question...how do you reset the service intervall indicator on the dash?

Hi, Is there a way to lower the minimum fan speed with bimmercode?

The answer from them is "...no plans to introduce it in Bimmercode, use Bimmerlink instead" :D

Done. Will report back with the answer.

Any plans for Bimmercode to support battery registration?

No idea...the samples were taken on different days but with rather similar conditions, i.e, more or less same ambient temperature 10-12 degrees celcius, non windy conditions, same 2 persons in the car, samples taken at the same road spot at 120km/h constant speed, etc...Obviously I did not...

What's the price at the dealer of the 12v battery? Is it mandatory to reprogram it? Or is it sufficient just to swap in the new one?

So I finally got some figures.... I measured the same trip (with and without the front spoiler) and here are the results; Without/with: Total average consumption: 16,3/15,3 kWh, average speed: 78/69 km/h, duration: 33/38 min, outside temp: 10/12 degrees Celsius, total trip: 42/42 kms. Then I...

Hi again, Here are some pictures of my "prototype foam spoiler ":D Start: https://m.imgur.com/a/alf7Saa Finished: https://m.imgur.com/a/7Blgvti This afternoon I will see if this "invention" works, I.e. if it decreases power consumption at a constant speed of 120 km/h. To be continued....

My 2017 i3 94Ah hidden menu shows Batt.Kapa max = 29,2 kWh. The car has 18.000 kms on the clock. If true, I believe this is a good value since I've read that net battery capacity for a 94Ah is around 28,8 kWh...right?

Im testing out a "front spoiler grill add-on" that I've made with spray foam....still in prototype phase....will cone back with more details once finished... :D

Wanting to add 2 speakers to the rear doors. I have the standard stereo, I.e. non HK. Does the stock amp have rear speaker high level outputs, but maybe not wired? If so, the amp might auto-detect these 4 new wires and and also enable front/rear fader control ?

Muchas gracias :)

Hi and greetings from Madrid, Spain. Just bought myself a secondhand i3 94 ah with very low mileage and in pristine condition. Looking forward to learning all about this excellent car, and thanks for having me in this great forum!!! Cheers.
