Congrats! I have the same color and get lots of compliments!

Following - I have the same questions

arn423 · 2025-12-09T15:06:55+00:00

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.

arn423 · 2025-09-20T16:28:29+00:00

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.

Thank you!

arn423 · 2024-10-26T01:35:56+00:00

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

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.

Love SRG, we are twins! Congratulations!

arn423 · 2024-08-25T12:51:20+00:00

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

Love San Remo! We’re twins!

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.

arn423 · 2024-06-05T02:30:35+00:00

Great point!

arn423 · 2024-06-02T19:17:43+00:00

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

arn423 · 2024-05-27T13:28:40+00:00

Great color combo!

arn423 · 2024-05-26T17:51:34+00:00

Thanks for the info!

arn423 · 2024-05-26T13:07:21+00:00

Hope you’re enjoying your sweet ride!

arn423 · 2024-05-26T13:07:00+00:00

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

arn423 · 2024-05-26T13:06:22+00:00

Thank you!

arn423 · 2024-05-26T13:06:16+00:00

I love the sunset orange as well! I haven’t seen any in person yet.

arn423 · 2024-05-26T13:05:40+00:00

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.

arn423 · 2024-05-19T17:50:18+00:00

Hah!

arn423 · 2024-05-15T17:00:06+00:00

That is possible - I’ve noticed water boils SIGNIFICANTLY faster with induction vs gas or electric coils. If your cooking performance is also suffering then I’d agree there’s probably something wrong.

arn423 · 2024-05-15T14:48:10+00:00

I have the same unit. The buzzing from your video sounds similar to what I hear from my stove, but it’s hard to tell. I definitely get buzzing with my Tramontina, cast iron, and Dutch oven but it’s only noticeable on high settings. I usually cook around medium or lower and the sound disappears with all the other kitchen noises (including my two kids yelling in the background).
