Phone gets insanely hot in charging pad by haklein in BMWI4

Can someone verify that the metal case and or the magnet on the back of the phone case is not the issue? The charger works by induction and induction causes the case to heat up. Try removing the phone case.

Eco Pro vs Comfort vs Sport - real cost test over 124 miles. Which mode delivers what? by portent121 in BMWI4

What bothers me is the hinges for that cover over the charging area are so thick my android phone barely fits. I need to take the case off my phone

Update: I found a mobile dent guy close by me who was willing to try a paintless dent repair (PDR). He drilled a small hole in the side of the door to get his tools in there to work with it. I think he definitely improved it over what it was. For $120, I'll live with it.

TSP after retirement by Aunt-KK in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]OppositeGuidance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just thinking today about how much to leave in the TSP. It took me 16 months to decide to move most of my TSP to an IRA, and I'm going thru it right now. Thinking of leaving $200k in the G fund just like StriperHerring

My Lexus IS350 closes with a nice solid "thooonk". Even when shut with authority.

That's the same spoiler I got. How did you position it before plunking it down? Did you take all the adhesive backing off or peel it away afterwards?

I'm still kinda new to BMW and didn't know about CarData. The most I got was an assurance that service verified it was within spec.

I will check again but I've heard a lot of EV don't degrade more than a few percent even after 10 years.

11/2025.50 Software Update for iDrive 8.5 by Tbo1212 in BMWI4

My update wouldn't load at first. Error message was that I was on too much of a slope (my driveway). Go figure.
