Exactly how I did it. Thought I was some kind of genius for figuring it out. LOL

If you are thinking that had anything to do with your "HV regulator module", that is highly unlikely, though it's unclear to me which device that is. The only big risk I am aware of with 12V system shenanigans is the potential to short out the output of the DC-DC converter if powered up, but I...

This is one of those things where understanding the regional infrastructure and where the car will be driven really is critical to the decision. Again, a 60Ah BEV here (Eugene, OR) imposes impossibilities. A 120Ah imposes fewer of them, but they still exist. REx with the smaller pack overcomes...

I can tell you how this works on my Roadtop unit: It always ends up defaulting to Bluetooth. The PR unit may behave differently, but the BT connection is problematic for music, as it is rarely seamless. It gets occasional dropouts and stuttering, which is extremely irritating. It's unclear to...

Quit overthinking it and test the 12V battery or just replace it if it is more than 3-4 years old. That may not be the problem, but until you address the 12V directly, it's a waste of time to mess with anything else.

There are still highly regional dependent discrepancies with that line of thinking - and consequently places near me even a 120Ah pack cannot reliably take me to. US charging networks still completely suck, even where chargers are SUPPOSED to be working. The REx has made that a non-issue for me...

Is there 12V power entering into the fuse panel under the glove box? If not, the problem is likely at the battery terminal itself.

That introduces new problems though like fuel that can potentially stale faster and clog up the carburetor, and of course securing it is a significant safety concern. (I feel safer carrying a fuel container in the frunk with the REx than I would with a 65lb lump of metal ready to smash brains...

Don't let having a REx stop you from getting one if the car otherwise suits your needs and price. You aren't required to use it - though it will nag for the maintenance cycle to run. Worst case, it's dead weight with error codes that otherwise don't change how the rest of the car functions.

That may require sourcing a BEV transmission as well as the BEV mount, as the REx serves as structural member. It's unclear to me if the base transmission casting is the same or not from these two photos. Perhaps the extra casted bit of the REx mount is just a bolt on adapter.

Anything more than 2.1 gallons put into the REx tank on a refill IS AN OVERFILL. Total tank capacity is "2.38 gallons" according to BMW including the 0.5 gallons as reserve. 2017+ cars use the same tank size and are defaulted to 0.28 gallons of reserve. Following that, coding really only unlocks...

"This Tesla Supercharger to CCS Adapter is designed exclusively for EVs brands that have joined the North American Charging Standard (NACS), " - Lectron website

It's certainly weird timing from an account with no other posts, and not really news 2 years later that it burned. The only point seems to be that BMW refused to take full responsibility for covering a car that was out of warranty and not in their possession. Why would they? Comprehensive...

"The fuel tank capacity is 9 liters / 2.38 gallons with a 2 liter / .5 gallon fuel reserve." -pg. 41, W20 Engine Technical Training, ST1403a, 2/12/2014 ed. Assuming USG, the way I read that, 2.38 gallons is the total volume of the tank and 2.38-0.5 = 1.88 (1.9) gallons available. I do not...

No guarantee they will be that old however. I think they sometimes just run the sales to clear out excess stock which may include older tires. The closeout ones I received this last summer were advertised as 2020, but what I got was 2022. Maybe somebody in the warehouse screwed up though.

Though not 'smart' in terms of coordinating automatically with TOU variations, EnelX Juicebox chargers allow scheduled charging. They are too expensive in my opinion vs. the cheaper charger I got off of Amazon if TOU is not a concern, but I was given one recently, and it's a nice upgrade for...

Unless there is an additional sensor for the presence of reserve fuel that would regulate that, it is not my experience. My tank is currently empty, yet the nag persists.

I agree with Evanstonl3 here that all weather tires should not be confused with 'snow'. Not a huge deal for a rare encounter with the white stuff, but far from a good tire or in any way preferrable for it over proper snow tires. Regardless, on every car I have been in, all season tires are...

I believe preheat can be coded to a remote button, and window operation obviously already is, so those are at least accessible functions to some degree. As for SoC, I just upgraded my charger from one of the generic Amazon ones to a Juicebox. The WiFi connection to that will at least relay how...
