Off the lot at BMW Portland, 3 yr lease with $7500 off the purchase price, couldn't resist. Love the car, smooth, quiet, plenty of power. After getting over the "too much info" anxiety, we've finally relaxed and are just enjoying the driving. Don't have home charger, but live 3 miles from EA...

Charging at home on my 110-120v household plug. Do I need to precondition the battery before plugging in? If so, how?

If the car sits unused and is not plugged in for an extended time (i.e. being away on vacation), are there any concerns with the 12v battery or other factors? I'm assuming the car is "awake" at some level and drawing a small amount of power constantly. Is there an expected time that is okay but...

I’ve used my free 30 minute charging session with Electrify America twice and both times, the 150 kW charger would only charge at about 40kW. During the 2nd session, my dash reflected 100 kW and then it quickly dropped to 32kW and then settled at 40kW. Is anyone else experiencing these slow...

Since I know someone else out there has this same question, but is too embarassed to ask: has anyone researched getting a portable battery power station to stick in the trunk as a "spare battery" to charge the car in emergencies? I know, I know, I still have range anxiety since this is my first...

2023 Tanzanite Blue with Black Contrast stiching. Ok- so I finally got my car… preorder Oct 2021z initial delivery east of Summer 22. Original build date was May- then the wiring harness delays- pushed back to early Aug. Then the camera issues stuck in port for 2.5 weeks here in LA back in...

I have 6500 miles on my 2022 i4 edrive 40 and I have always averaged from 195 to 210 miles per charged at 80% . I had a Manufacturer Safety Recall Issued “Nhtsa #22V-483 Recall #22V-483:410 Valet Parking Mode Status” After taking the car to the dealer for the recall now I only average about 160...

Hi everybody, I'm Filippo and I have a i4 m50 since April. Since I got the car the autonomy given by the screen at 100% of charge was around 390 Km and on the road the average consumptions were around 22-24 Kw/100 km. 15 days ago I've brought the car to BMW for an update of the software and now...

I fly for work. Sometimes I only travel for a couple of days a week but I could be gone for an entire week or two. I have an ICE at the moment, so instead of wasting gas, I Uber to and from the airport. When my i4 arrives, I would prefer to drive my car. Any issues or tips for charging my car at...

As you can see at 86% its predicting a further 314 miles. to work out what a 100% would give its: 314/86%= 365 miles. Pretty impressive I think.

Hoping some i4 owners in the US can chime in here: 1) Can we manually preheat the battery before going to a DC fast charger? If so, how do we know how long to preheat it for? 2) If we navigate to a DC fast charger, will it automatically preheat the battery? In the US, which stations will it...

See video from Roadshow talking about this extra weight. Of course this is probably the biggest downside of the i4, particularly the 2219kg i4 M50, as every reviewer mentioned at one point of their review.

When something sounds too good to be true, it typically is. See this, is it pure Silicon Valley hype? They said BMW invested in it, but did not mention how much or what percentage of their equity. BMW does have an arm (iVentures) where they invest in various startups in hope of fostering...
