I believe (though I don't have a lease to verify) that BMW was offering 16 cents a mile for overage on 12K leases. In that scenario, its hard to justify buying, especially if the extra 8K miles are only going to cost you $1280/year or $106/month. Even at .20/mile, its still a pretty big...

You could argue that tax credits are just white-collar welfare, or that they are just a way to move money into the hands of the manufacturer. Both arguments can hold water. The bottom line to me, however, is that I paid a lot less than MSRP as a result of them. And the re-sale prices of any...

Anyone arguing EV depreciation that ignores the tax credits is seriously slanting the picture. With tax credits my car was only $35,500 last year (loaded '14 Giga with 19's). Being told that its dropped to $28,500 after a nominal year of ownership is only a $7,000 reduction or 19.7%. I can...

The listed "max" capacity is 18.8, though most are measuring in the high 19's. So the 70% threshold will be 13.16

Happens to me more that it should. I find that at home, I'm 99% on closing the flap. If my wife unplugs and doesn't close it, I've been in the midst of backing out before realizing its open (and nearly taking it off with the garage door frame). When charging elsewhere with the OUC especially...

General consensus is that you can safely ignore the CEL and keep driving. Most likely causes are a faulty fuel pressure sensor (this was on early models), moisture in the fuel system (might be same as fuel pressure sensor issue), or a software fault (fixed by the March update). If it drives...

There are a lot of posts (with pictures) in the Facebook group about putting in dashcams. Mary Demarest-Parran posts a lot there and has good info. She is also a moderator on The Circuit - the official BMW forum, so if you are anti-Facebook, you can post there and probably get an incredibly...

I use it occasionally and always think "I should use this more". It works way better than I had anticipated, and seems to understand my voice pretty well. But old habits are hard to break.

Is there possibly a difference across different vehicles? I'd be curious if Idleup or Epirali have driven a few other i3's and observed the same behavior. It really seems (from monitoring the comments) that there are 2 camps here - those who are experiencing extremely twitchy steering at...

I'd probably pony up $750 for a ChaDeMo adapter. More than that and I think its better to wait on the CCS rollout. I also think this is going to be very regional. In CA and along the East Coast corridor, its probably not worth getting. But if you live in an area with no CCS or very slow...

I beleive there is a way to remember the AC setting, but not the driving mode.

Another concrete example of why to run it early - take a 60+ mile trip with significant uphill at the end (this is pretty common in the West). If you run the battery down to 6% before the REx engages, then you have a very small buffer of battery to climb the hills, as the demands on the car...

No one has found a way to code this yet.

Just tried at lunch. Range map appears in perspectrive mode, but still takes ~3-5 minutes to appear for some reason.

I've found that in 2D, if you zoom out far enough it appears virtually immediately. In Perspective, however, it can take up to 5 minutes before it displays. Seems to be some confusion about whether it actually does display the range in Perspective view, but it always worked for me. I just got...

I just tried the same thing. I ran the REx tank down to about 1/8 left, maybe a bit more, and was able to put in 2.02 gallons. I figure it I ran it all the way down, I'd be able to put in 2.2 or 2.3.

Many of us refer to it as the flap of freedom....

Simplest thing to do for you is to contact DVDInMotion for a USB stick that will enable the Hold State of Charge for you. Search for DVDInMotion in the forums for a long discussion of this. On the software update, I think there are a couple of issues with what you said - First, the dealer...

REx has lower power in CO due to the altitude. Not sure what the actual reduciton is, but we get less than the full 34 hp.

There are a number of issues that can cause the CEL. The general consensus is that if the only thing you see is the CEL, then its probably OK to just keep driving. Most of the CEL issues are resolved with the March software update. If yours is an early 2014, then you might have the pressure...
