    Speed limits and alerts (UK)

    My i3 didn’t have either Apple CarPlay or Android Auto fitted when I bought it, so one of the first things I did was to have an aftermarket unit fitted under the rear seat which gives me both.

    BMW i3s in Devon

    Does your i3 have 19 or 20" wheels and do they have kits for only one or both wheel sizes?

    Anyone found another tire that fits??

    All the choices I have seen are for 19" wheels - what are the choices for those of us with the 20" wheels in the UK?

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

    During my entire ownership of my i3, I have only been able to operate TJA once, and that was on a French Autoroute last summer. I spoke to Martin at Wisely, and he confirmed what the readout states - it only operates at speeds below 35mph and only on motorways (Freeways, Autoroutes, Autobahn...

    94ah Rex Road Trip

    Not that I am aware of, but as the i3 only has a 9l tank, I saw no point in filling the can beyond 9l, so it was never in danger of overfilling.

    Parts For Sale 2x Key FOBs for sale (left from my totaled 2018 BMW i3)

    We have a metal box in a cupboard by the front door and all keys are dropped into it once we enter the house. Although my understanding is that car thieves focus on two groups of vehicles; expensive ones - e.g. Range Rovers, Mercedes G and S class for which they already have orders, and popular...

    Battery discharging whilst parked

    So, 15 months and 3.5k miles after the new 12v battery, the dreaded "Battery Discharging whilst stationary" message has returned. The message disappears as soon as I engage D, the main battery seems to be maintaining its charge pretty well, could the 12v be failing after such a short time...

    I need advice on taking a road trip with a 2019 i3 Rex

    I did a 700+ mile run in a day a couple of months ago with no problems, keep the battery above 20% if you can.

    What Car Did You Drive Before Going Electric

    For the last 35 years I have been a Mercedes owner; going all the way back to W113 280 SL 'Pagoda'. My two most recent cars were an A124 E320 convertible and a R230 600SL

    The one thing I dislike about my 2021 i3s

    I hate to break it to you, but there seem to be two versions of the i3 steering wheel, one with minimal padding and one with a little more. The bad news is that the slightly more padded one is only fitted to cars with the ACC; the padding covers the sensors which can tell if your hands are on...

    Hard drive with all of my music

    An SSD probably wouldn't draw much more power than a thumb drive, but would be physically larger. But why not buy a 128gb thumb drive for less than £15/$20?

    May I ask what was involved in upgrading to ID6, did you do it yourself or have a professional do the work - and if so - can you let me know who did it for you, please?

    Range

    Range is very much a function of your driving, I find that pottering around in London traffic I might end my journey with 2 or 3 miles more in store than when I started. On the other hand motorway driving gobbles up the miles. Don't worry, once the car 'learns' your driving style it will be...

    Updating ID4 Evo to ID6

    Lots of folks seem to be offering this as a software update delivered online to a thumb drive. However, all of them need a Windows computer running Windows 10 or later; but I am a Mac user who hasn't used Windows in well over a decade. Are there any firms in the UK who can do this installation...

    Speedometer recalibration?

    My Waze gives me an accurate GPS calibrated speed and I use that speed to set my ACC, the speedometer is purely an approximation. In the i3 it seems to be around 6% optimistic; in my Mercedes A124 (which had bigger wheels, but lower profile tyres than standard) it was around 8% optimistic and in...
