I have left my '18 BEV94 several times for 8 weeks in the UK winter. I have never disconnected the HV. I leave the car at around 70% initially and disable the internal alarm by the second press method. Monitoring the car via the BMW app during these periods suggests that the 12V is periodically...

Statistically few compressors fail, so by your logic they've made £1000 profiton most vehicles. Obviously the real figure is somewhere in the middle. I have run my '17 BEV since '18 with ZERO repair costs. So an insurer might have made £6000 from me. However I have never insured anything...

I bought the Veepeak OBDCheck BLE Bluetooth OBD II from Amazon Uk last week. It works fine with IoS and Android devices. Re main thread topic (80 or 100) My experience is using partial charges is fine as long as VERY occasionally go near 0% and 100%

A six person vinyl tablecloth does the job for me, They're wide enough to run a few inches up each side and long enough that with the seats down there is a foot or so hanging over the bumper to protect it. Available in many patterns from the big A. They don't last more than a couple of years...

I have a featherlike right foot. I use the vehicle on easy running roads. I abhor the friction brakes. The car is always garaged for the whole of January and February whilst I snowbird. I was unaware that these figures were in anyway remarkable. The 5 year average consumption reported by the...

Sadly not. I've only just got serious about the battery. This was driven by the thought of selling the vehicle if I suspected serious degradation. I got the Vpeak dongle and used electrified only last week. I also put mi3 on a IOS device. I modified a few codes using Bimmercode. It's lovely...

I run a 2017 94Ah It usually shows 140+ miles at full charge in summer. In winter 125. I was in the 20-80 charge club for 5 years, but recently joined the 100 club plus balancing time club. This has improved the range by @10%. There may be more improvement to come with a few more months of...

Just seen this so sorry if this a repeat. Clean tHe area of glass in front of the sensor very vigourously with tooth paste. Its a very mild abrasive.

Hello, I have not attempted the replacement of my gear selector knob. HOWEVER I am interested in why you need to undertake this repair. I may need to undertake this job, but as yet am unsure if its needed in my case. In the recent code weather in the UK my selector has sporadically gone...

HI All, I'm struggling with vision when reversing at night time. My ride is '17 BEV. No Park Pack. Is it possible to uprate the bulbs in the reversing lights, if so what with and how difficult? Regards to All

Hi, One further thought arising from your remote god's county location! The pre-conditioning feature is very valuable for range maximisation and comfort. (Warm batteries extend the range and the working life of the batteries). Warm/Cooled interior means no big initial power draw from the...

Hi i3evie, I just purchased an i3 BEV (33kwh/94Ah) in mid June. (My wife and I absolutely love it.) I spent a few months monitoring the used UK BMW web-site waiting for the correct specification to turn up at a sensible price. As previously mentioned avoiding the REX will save you purchase...
