The one that the link shows when you click it: XXL-Pro It's a bag. It's not a hard case.

BimmerCODE will not do that. You need BimmerLINK.

“2 million Undesirables?” "Harmon Kardon (owned by Samsung)"? Sounds like you would be happier with an "American" car.

I would personally not recommend buying one if you did not have access to charging at home. For me, this is the biggest benefit. I’ve also had “several” other BMWs over the years, including an Isetta, and this car is way more fun to drive around town.

I share the car with my wife and the car has Comfort Access. Leaving the car Unlocked but grasping the door handle will "usually" switch the Profile to the fob that is present, but not always. So now we are in the habit of locking the door anyways while in the garage to ensure that the correct...

If the timer shuts off the power to the ESVE (charger), it will cause the car to throw an error message each time. That's about it.

BimmerLINK and BimmerCODE are the two primary apps that can be used with this car but you have to use your phone, not a laptop.

You are correct. Panic Mode is triggered by holding down the "Horn" button, not the Lock Button

Can you clear all the error codes with BimmerLINK? If so, that may help. When a 12v battery fails, it causes many incorrect error codes to be generated. Have you tried plugging the car in for charging, then let it sit overnight? This also helps "fix" things when the 12v battery fails and is...

If you are holding the button down to lock the car, this triggers the Panic Mode, so don't do that. Just click the button on the fob and release. If that was not the problem, try pressing the lock button twice in a row. This disables the interior motion sensor alarm which may be the problem...

Check the TORX30 bolts that hold down the Terminal Adapters to the Battery. The original bolts had a small amount of thread locker to keep them from coming loose. If you did not apply any thread locker, it is possible that one or both terminals have vibrated loose, which could cause the...

could still be a failing 12v battery. While "most" seem to last 3-4 years, there are some outliers reported that have lasted TEN YEARS and some that have failed within a year. Not many, but statistically still possible.

Without a working subscription for the MyBMW app, the charge status will not update. I elected not to renew my subscription back in June and the app is "stuck" at 66%, which is where it was when my subscription lapsed.

You will not be able to "track the car" while it is on the train unless they periodically turn it ON to move it or something. Unless BMW updated something, the "location" feature sends out a signal when the car comes to a stop and is turned "OFF", then it stops sending a signal. So all you...

There have been isolated reports over time of similar issues where there is a short in some module. At least one of them was a bad headlamp module that had a short. The parasitic draw should be minimal. You should test it with a multi-meter and see what it is actually consuming while the car...

2013-2016 model years only have a 3G SIM. A handful of people in the USA managed to get them upgraded over a few years but that it all. The process involves a new TCU box with 4G sim and must be programmed to the VIN of the vehicle. You can't just buy one from a wrecked car and install it...

You are not installing an eSim on this car. The SIM that is in the car is for data only and is tied to the VIN via the TCU (Telecommunications Control Unit) Any cellular data account belongs to BMW and they pay for it in bulk. It is not a personal account that you have access to.

Only the services that are described in the email will function without a subscription. If you want "data" from the car such as Battery status, Charging History, location of car, you have to have a paid subscription.

If that is what you asked for, I'm not surprised they said it is not possible.
