    AirConsole Game library is small

    Yep, same here! My AirConsole has about 10 games, and I was definitely expecting a bit more. I think they’re trying to balance games with system stability, but it’s still kind of a letdown. Honestly, I just use it to kill time at charging stations, so as long as it doesn’t glitch, I’m cool with...

    Efficient Mode for long trips

    Efficient Mode is seriously the MVP for road trips, especially when you’re dealing with hilly terrain. I haven’t done a trip as long as yours, but on a flat stretch of highway, I squeezed out over 280 miles at 60 mph with regen on.

    Best apps for i5

    You’ve got the essentials with My BMW and Electrify America. For trip planning, ABRP is definitely a winner, it even syncs with some cars for live battery updates. Another cool one is ChargePoint if you haven’t grabbed it yet; their network is solid and easy to use. Oh, and for a bit of fun, try...

    i5 rear camera views

    Haha, right? The i5's rear camera views are next-level! I felt like I was in a video game the first time I saw them. The 3D view is my favorite, it’s like having a drone follow you around while parking.

    BMW i5 how was it?

    Yep, the i5 is definitely a solid buy, especially for anyone who wants a bit of luxury in their EV. The Level 2 charging at home is a win, I mean, who doesn’t love the convenience? I’m curious, though, how does it handle long road trips? Any hiccups with charging speed at public stations, or is...

    Enhancing our BMW i5 experience with door LED projector lights

    I noticed those LED door projector lights too, super slick! Unfortunately, not every i5 comes with them as standard. It’s usually part of a premium package on certain trims, but the good news is they can be retrofitted pretty easily. I had them installed on my i4, and it took no time at all...

    BMW Digital Key Plus

    I use Digital Key Plus with my iPhone, and yes, it should switch to your profile automatically. I don’t have to tap the screen or do anything, it just knows it’s me once I get in. It’s one of those small things that makes the i5 feel like next-level tech. If yours isn’t working, it’s worth...

    BMW and Rimac Partner Up for EV Battery Tech

    uhhhh I’m cautious but optimistic about this. We’ve seen a lot of flashy EV partnerships before, and they don’t always deliver the breakthroughs we’re hoping for. Or fall below expectations. But hey, if Rimac and BMW can make solid strides in battery tech, it could be a big deal for future EVs...
