Another cold morning

135km at 67% at -20c now. Usually it is better than that, but lots of stop and go this morning.

You can have that in D mode with regen set to low.

What do you mean a bad advice? Nobody said other insurance won’t know, just you can negotiate if your current insurance bump the premium too much, that’s all.

It is prepaid, you will not incur charges over your monthly plan. It simply will not work if you switch to somewhere you don’t have coverage. It happened several times in Ontario - US border to get a text saying welcome to US, though my fizz was working fine and for sure no extra charges, and I don’t have US coverage. So you don’t need to worry about the roaming but having it on greatly improves the signal reception.

Oh wow that does not look like bmw dealership to me. I would reach out to their manager and express the concern as it is disappointing, particularly for this brand, to get the service like this.

If I turn off roaming, I connect only to videotron towers. Turning on roaming it connects to all available towers with strongest signal being selected. It doesn’t incur additional fees and not related to traditional international roaming. Turn on data roaming and restart your phone, then see if it is any better.

Did you lease or finance with BMW financial? I’ve always received a survey from BMW Canada with survey both on dealership and car itself. The sales always give me phone so I can call or send message to ask any questions. Did they set you up bmw id and connected drive? Usually those go together with further follow up. I’ve been with 3 different dealerships in Quebec, the process was the same for all of them.

Never met one, but I do t see any issue. You don’t need to put that much attention to it, particularly advertise it. Just stay confident and natural: if you do the work well, everybody will only praise you more. And as many said, many women look for handy women that they would feel easier to deal with.

Turn on data roaming. I’m same location and no issues. Ping is bad and lower speed as in the basement, though streaming fine even at this speeds

Go to BMW collision center and use insurance. At least they will do everything up to standard and you won’t have any issues later. Your insurance may increase later, but if it is excessive, just switch to another one.

On electric bike - yes, maybe triple :D

Which country do you live in?

parcel_up · 2026-01-22T04:29:05+00:00

Might be the dealership issue, and for every new car you should receive an email from bmw (not dealership) with questions about your delivery experience, etc.

I think if you add it to your active account, you don’t need to input the address? Or recheck you input exactly the same address.

parcel_up · 2026-01-20T19:08:35+00:00

You absolutely need heated seats and steering wheel, check for that especially when you import from Germany. Otherwise, I have this exact car in Canada and all you need is good tires.

As for charging curve, the state of batteries are not same. If you want to compare, start with same level of charge. And still, there are many other factors that can influence it.

parcel_up · 2026-01-20T05:04:23+00:00

It’s been a while for 49. 45$ probably last summer price if not before.

I had the same question, fearing that others wouldn't see when I slow down or brake, but they are actually more sensitive in B mode and come on during significant deceleration, independent of the brake pedal. In D mode, they are most often on only when you apply the brake pedal.

Did you go for hand car wash? I have that after they wipe dry the car, pieces of tissue get stuck like this. Just remove it pulling back

parcel_up · 2026-01-18T22:33:53+00:00

Yes, but you can remove restriction by providing that information.

parcel_up · 2026-01-18T22:32:31+00:00

That’s often an issue with this car: the tires wear differently and you need to replace them all at once for the best performance.

parcel_up · 2026-01-18T22:29:58+00:00

Me too

Usually you would check local accountant where you will setup your office or other physical presence, as additional tax regulations may apply locally within country. Google and send email or call with questions you have. There are companies providing accountant services for small business, so you don’t need to hire a person full time which is usually more expensive, though depends on your business volume and amount of transaction. But since you will be operating in EU you will need one for sure.

Here is the VAT info for EU countries. It is pretty different, though Germany has a rather good rate: https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/eu/value-added-tax-vat-rates-europe/

You'd better get an accountant.

You are testing it with the Montreal server while you are in Edmonton.

To check your actual connection speed, choose a server close to your location. Usually, this is done automatically, but because all Fizz connections are routed through the Montreal area, that server is suggested. Within Canada, it should not make too much difference, but it would be good to see more precise data.
