    Charging upgrade?

    So as a 'happy' 2013 i3ReX owner I headed to the EV charging section of my local Sainsburys thinking easy parking and top-up while shopping. However, the system they have has cables ending in a CCS combo type 2 cable which will not fit. My understanding is that this is now the 'most common'...

    Possible new rider with questions

    Just a thought, but I've managed to run the power to the boot/trunk of my 2013 ReX, leaving the end of the extension lead and the BMW adapter in the boot with just the cables from the power to the charge point hanging out. Then, I close and lock the car. That seems to work fine for me. The boot...

    Premium Fuel?

    One question here is the bio ethanol content in the fuel, in the UK, we now have ‘regular/standard’ fuel with E10 and octane of 95 or ‘Super’ with E5 and 97/98 Ron as the two major types of petroleum available - ‘Super’ also tends to have additives helpful the the health of the engine. Given...

    2015 REX won’t start while driving

    My i3 is back and fully functional :) After 8 days at Cragos, with the AUC and both ambient temperature sensors having been replaced, the ReX cuts in all on its own, and no errors show up on the displays. I'm not sure why the paperwork stated, "PLEASE NOTE: Auxiliary engine will only cut in at...

    Sim card?

    Given that my i3 is a 2013 model, does anyone know if this is a 3G network technology or what technology it is, given that they are turning off 3G networks in the UK? I've noticed a few times that the My BMW app can't connect to the car, and the signal disappears in the car's display. Given...

    Hard drive with all of my music

    Umm, well, mine's a '13 i3, so I would expect this to work for you. However, I have seen in the past that 'some' flash drives don't work, and I'd also check that the flash drive is FAT32 or exFAT formatted.

    Wrapping Roof with Vinyl Film

    I'm just wondering about these roof wraps. Has anyone considered using those ultra-thin flexible solar panels on the roof to charge the car?

    Hard drive with all of my music

    I had the BMW Music Adapter for iPod/iPhone for a while but I only had the 160Gb iPod model (note this has the 30-pin connector to iPod although I think it still works via another adapter from the 30-pin connector to lighting). Since then I got a micro SD card (512gb), and put this in a USB...

    2015 REX won’t start while driving

    Just spotted this thread. I have a 2013 REX. IF I run the car 'cold' i.e. it has sat for a while the REX will not cut-in and I get the drivetrain failure error. However, if I start the engine and let it run a few minutes before a drive, it will maintain the battery level as it should and no...
