If you're using the gen 3 Tesla charger, check the app and make sure 'Non-Tesla Charging' is on.Try checking as well if the powersharing settings are slowing down the charge.

Apart from a little hiccup a couple of weeks ago, it's been running great. I've got my charging times set for 11 PM to 5 AM. That's also what's programmed into my ChargePoint Home Flex EVSE, and everything's been working like a charm.

Grizzl-E Smart worked well so far for me.

Check out PlugShare, ABRP, or the MyBMW app to scope out fast chargers along the way. DC fast chargers (the 150kW+ ones if possible) are your best bet for short stops.

Any updates with this?

Check first if your charger is overheating. Sometimes they slow down to cool off. Also, try charging at a different station or with a different cable to see if it's the charger or your car. If it's still acting up, it might be a software bug. Make sure your car's software is updated – that...

It would be easier to use a gesture to switch modes.

The M5 touring is only coming to the US I believe. another great vehicle not available in the US. Sigh.

I believe that came directly from BMW. There's no option to choose a smaller screen size. You might consider the previous generation model, which doesn't have a screen. However, I'm not sure if the feature set is identical to the current model.

My 540 with Dynamic Handling was great. I drove a 4 Series without it and it was scary. Dynamic Handling is a big deal.

It's possible, but my dealership is having trouble decoding it.

It's cool that BMW and Toyota are teaming up for hydrogen cars. Hydrogen could be a good option for long trips and big trucks. But we need more hydrogen stations and a better way to make hydrogen. I'm curious to see what BMW does with hydrogen cars.

Has your friend contacted the dealership about it? Some people prefer the minimalist design of the new interface, while others miss the physical buttons. It would be better if he would check it out in person.

If your i5 hasn't prompted you with a notification about a recall or service campaign related to the brake booster, it's likely not affected. The software update will automatically detect any issues and alert you if necessary. Your dealership will also check during your next routine maintenance.

FYI, you can currently pair the BMW with only one Alexa device.

My 1996 540 was a "5" series with a "4.0" liter V8. Back then, identifying a BMW was simple: the first number was the series, the second two numbers were the liters of engine displacement, and the "I" stood for injection.

How is it? Did it work?

It's only available to those who got the Pro Plus Package.

I've bought several aftermarket warranties, but I think the extended warranty from the BMW dealer is the best option. Reimbursement is frequently an issue with aftermarket warranties. When you buy from the dealer, you can ensure that they will be reimbursed for covered repairs. Also, dealer-sold...

That's only one of the i5's many impressive features ;)
