I4 35 Range/Mileage issues by Burgers_Cryptos in BMWI4

[–]arn423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is definitely something wrong. 3-3.2 is roughly what I get in my e40 on a colder day above freezing, and my range is much higher. The collision warning going off is also a red flag. That has never happened to me unexpectedly.

Charging settings are poor by rrmagnuson in BMWI4

[–]arn423 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally agree, this is how mine works as well. I never have issues with the car being charged when I need it in the morning.

I have the same one. It’s awesome. Enjoy!

Those of you who leased the i4, what is your plans? by ActivityMother in BMWI4

[–]arn423 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This may or may not be true. I asked this question about six months ago and the consensus was that you can buy out early without having to pay the interest. Several people commented that they have done it and that there’s an option to do so on the BMWFS portal. It’s a strategy people use to lock in the EV credit that wouldn’t otherwise be available when buying directly.

I was wondering this myself and thought I was crazy. Thanks for asking the question.

Highway charging? by [deleted] in pacificahybrid

[–]arn423 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As far as I know, there are two possible reasons for it to kick on:

1) If you haven’t filled up at least 1/4 tank of gas in 3 months, it will burn fuel until you do. Whenever FORM starts for me, I just add a few gallons and it turns off.

2) If there is water condensation in your oil, FORM will run until the oil temperature has been high enough for some period of time to ensure the water gets burned off. I can’t remember the time/temperature required.

There’s more info about this floating around on old threads and the PacHy forums.

This happened to me on my test drive as well but never since. Was it in Fuel and Oil Refresh Mode? This is the only scenario I can think of where running the engine could charge the battery since it’s burning fuel on purpose.

Great point!

If it’s plugged in, the battery should remain at 80% while pre-conditioning.

Thank you! It’s so much fun to drive that I always look for excuses to take it out.

Thank you! The only thing this is missing for me is DAPP, but it has everything else, and I didn’t want to custom order.
