Do you know the max batt kappa figure of an 94Ah to be used as a reference (I.e 100%) when claiming for the 8 year warranty ?

New battery installed and coded. Locked the car and waited a few minutes......Went back and checked that no interiour lights were on....all were off. Problem solved !!!!😄😄😄😄

In my first i3, a warning message indicating that the battery was about to be kaput showed up in the idrive screen when turning on the car. Do not remember the exact warning text...but it was clear that the battery needed replacement.

I charged the 12v battery over night, just as an experiment....after charging, it showed 12,5 v but after a couple of hours it went back to 12,0 v...so definitively shot..... I bought a new original battery at the BMW dealer...165 EUR...now it is charging..this afternoon I'll install it.

I know that the small battery had 12,0 v because I took it out if the car and measured the voltage. Disconnected main battery via the switch in the trunk first for safety reasons. In fact, it was a bit warm too...most likely due to the charging attempts by the main battery. I noticed something...

Ok, then all is clear for me...i was a bit worried the "fault" could be due to another issue. Many thanks for the excellent explanation...😊 I' will source a new battery from the dealership tomorrow. I have the bimmertool for coding it to the car. Many thanks for your support !!!!

Ok, so the interiour lights are on since the main battery tries to charge the small battery ???? Is that what's happening ?

Measured the voltage on the battery...only 12,0 V, so I guess the battery is slowly dying??? Perhaps the main voltage battery is trying to charge the 12v battery...Hence the interior lights are on, I.e. like when charging the main battery with the domestic charger and those lights are on ???

I am having a weird problem when turning off/closing the car (2017 94Ah BEV) with the key fob. I have the easy entry option. Some of the internal lights: e-brake, hazard light and light knob, are still on after closing the car. Even after 15 minutes, when the car should turn off everything...

Hi Michael, Sorry to hear about your problem. Here is my humble contribution to what to do to try and solve it: - You say you took the car to an official BMW dealership and they could not fix the problem ? This is unacceptable and I would write a complaint to BMW Germany explaining your...

Any clue to where this "vent" is located or how to get to it ?

Hi, I have noticed that when I open up a window, the air flow coming out from the dash vents is much higher than when all windows are closed....it should be like this but I thing it is too low/weak to be normal.... It seems to me that the vent that let's the air out (=cabin recirculation...

Anyone ???

Instead of costing 400 EUR as above, here is a chinese one for only 30 EUR. Apparently, you need to buy this gadget, install it to your speedo and do some coding with Bimmercode (for instance)...

Thanks. Yes...thats the way to go. However I do not trust the maps I have downloaded, perhaps some file chould be missing or something . So I think il'l bite the dust this time and buy the maps from the BMW official page that costs 60 eur for a one year update service. It sems that you can...

Hi, I did a map update 3 years ago downloading the EUROPE WEST ROUTE 2019-2 map sw and sticking in a USB to the center arm socket and all went well. At that time the car did not ask for an FSC code to perform the update. So I figured I'd update the maps again to a later version (EUROPE WEST...

Just wanting the kidney decals, not the side nor rear ones....

Hi, Anyone that knows if the unique forever front kidney stickers can be purchased from BMW or someone else ? I tried the Realoem web but could not find them there. https://i.postimg.cc/6QLP8swF/image-1632224988850.jpg

Repaired the scratches on the rear right hand side panel using the motip paint...Wet sanded, primed, wet sanded again, painted and then applied clear varnish and polished... I did not do the complete panel but just tried to blend in the new colour since the scratches were not that big. The...

So I did the coding to enable sport mode. Drove the car for 1h. However did not find any difference vs comfort mode. :oops: As reported by other people, the sport mode picture shows up on the center console but not on the drivers display. Will code back to original settings. :lol:
