    My i3 shows wrong expected loading time on the dashboard

    Hi all, The last 4 times I charged the car on a 400V charging point on my work it gives me a weird ( read long ) expected loading time on the dashboard. For example I plug in at 9.00 AM and then the dash read 8.00 AM the next day so almost 24u to load the car. But in the app it shows the...

    Successfully added Traffic Jam Assistant to US model -- interested in other people's experience with TJA

    There are about 15 to 20sec (never timed it) before the system warn you to put your hands back on the wheel, if you do, the system keep on working if you do not, it stops working.

    Successfully added Traffic Jam Assistant to US model -- interested in other people's experience with TJA

    I have often asked myself whether a resistance of 10 kΩ and 50 kΩ, equal to the human body and the conductivity, between the left and right of the steering wheel would not also disable these hands on the steering wheel and allow the TJA to work without you keep your hands on the wheel.

    Frontview camera with MMI wiring

    Hi all, Just a question about the installation of a front-view camera in combination with my MMI box, the installation is no problem, it works just fine wen I did a test mock-up. Now the real question is, where I get into the cab with the wiring along the frunk side, I don't see anything of a...

    Charging time household plug

    With Bimmercode it is pretty much foolproof as long you stay out of the expert mode.

    When did ACC go to radar?

    I had a radar based system in my F31 and I must say in the 3 years that I have had that car, that system failed less than in the 3 months that I have the i3 with the camera system. It is to sunny, it is to clouded, the much headlights from upcoming traffic, to much rain ...... there is always...

    ConnectedDrive

    I can alter the departure settings with my phone, same as the climatizing. On the startup screen from the app under "remote" I can choose Climatizing now, the car goes then to the temp as setted in the car and under that I can choose and alter the departure time. Maybe you want it to be more...

In my M135i had to sign a paper by my dealer so BMW would not track the...

In my M135i it is in the back under the trunck panel, there are two wires for a antenna, if you remove them the car can not be tracked anymore but your gps lost...

    Spare tyre option

    I do not notice ant difference between the 155 all around instead of my pizza wheels that where 175 on the back. I'm a aggressive driver so I like a bit of drifting but I must say at this moment there was no drifting involved :lol:

    Security of the i3

    You can place a hidden button that cuts of a wire / fuse that is needed to "start" the car , I use a autoswitch so I is working automatic and do not need to push the button each time I want to drive away, this is in my other BMW's never thought of doing this to the i3. Maybe in the future wen I...
