    Checklist before buying + How successful is a professional OBD scan

    Thanks! I will consider buying a scanner in future. The scan will not cost a huge amount because there are some reliable independent professionals who attend to BMW work. The authorized BMW dealer/agent only sells the REX in my country due to some issues with the regulations. Therefore all BEVs...

    Checklist before buying + How successful is a professional OBD scan

    Hi everyone, I’m planning to buy a BMW i3 BEV, and had been reading on about the models and things to look out for in a used car. The manufacturer warranty is not available for 2014 or 2015 BEVs where I live as these models are used vehicles brought down from UK and Japan by individual vehicle...

    Using a separate data sim card to enable connected drive and i3 app.

    I know. Was just wandering maybe if someone in this forum might know of a hack around or perhaps can think of a hack around it. But since the Telematic communication box is going to be idling in the absence of connected drive support, I don’t mind hacking into it as it looks like there’s nothing...

As a matter of fact, the...

    Odometer reading and Battery capacity indicated in menu - Tampering?

    Thank you! This is very useful information. But since such a reset will always indicate full 100% rating (which I believe is 18.8kWh in BMW i3) I guess it’s safe to assume that if the menu indicates Batt.Kapa.max to be something less than 100% like say 18kWh or something less, that is most...

    Odometer reading and Battery capacity indicated in menu - Tampering?

    Thanks! I also have noted that all users forums, blogs etc... consistently reports the degradation is minimum in i3 battery pack. However I have came across couple of 2014 model i3 that had been sitting there idling until both HV and 12v batteries have completely depleted. Mind you I couldn’t...

    Odometer reading and Battery capacity indicated in menu - Tampering?

    HI everyone, I have been teasing with the idea of buying a used i3 which are becoming available at good prices in the local market due to depreciation. Unfortunately CPO vehicles are not available where I live as the authorized BMW dealer only brings down the REX version whereas a number of...
