I think you will find the dealers can make more money out of buying and selling 2nd hand than they can a new car, the used market has wider margins and they can negotiate buying and selling price rather than just selling. New car margins are very tight, hence their desire to sell aftermarket...

Interestingly, my BMW i3s owners guide (Jan 2022) doesn't mention "ABC" anywhere. But it does say charge to 80% unless more range is required to benefit battery longevity...I only read it recently and was surprised. Personally, I have done 40,000m in 2yrs and I charge to 100% approx 2-3 times a...

Sounds like a sticky universal joint in the steering column, my M135i suffered from that, albeit because of turbo heat. Jack front wheels up and get someone to spin the steering from full lock to full lock whilst you squirt some WD40 on the UJ’s (probably 2) and see if that helps. More long...

Just wondering if anyone else had a similar issue as my dealer says BMW "are aware of a few". i3s, 12 months old, done 25,000 miles. Wife left the lights on a couple of weeks ago - no ill effects other than my getting flashed thinking my lights were on to discover "someone" had flipped them off...

Perfect, many thanks for taking the time to advise. I am having a test drive in an i3s tomorrow, hopefully they will have one with ACC that I can try.

Makes sense (fenders). Last question, in the US do you guys that use the ACC a lot mainly get the most out of it in stop/go city traffic or do you use it on the interstate at 50-70mph? and if so, roughly what distance(s) does it hold to the vehicle ahead? It appears to me that, being camera...

Many thanks for the replies. In the US is ACC a specific option? In the UK it comes as part of the pack that includes the collision system, I guess they all use software and the front camera. I assumed that the cars ability to steer for you used hardware included in the auto park system, but...

Hi As the title suggests, I haven't driven the i3 with ACC but what I do know is: 1) It's camera based (because radar weights more and would effect range much more than a camera) 2) ACC comes as part of the Driving Assist Plus pack, which for the i3s does not include auto park (because of the...
