    Wall box recommendations

    I went with the ChargePoint Home Flex, hardwire version. The hardwire option doesn’t need a plug, so it’s a bit cheaper and supports a slightly higher max current.

    i4 vs i5 Dilemma

    I’ve been driving my i4 for 10 months and, despite preordering the i5 M60, I’m leaning towards skipping the upgrade. We have a CRV for the family, and the i4 works great for my daily commute. The i5 M60 is faster but bigger and not really my style. For an extra $40-50K, the upgrade doesn’t seem...

    Drivers change lanes with just a glance

    Does anyone know how the new "Active Lane Change Assistant" with eye confirmation works on the i5? Now in its eighth generation, the BMW 5 Series introduces this game-changing feature, letting drivers change lanes with just a glance at the side mirrors. But what if you’re just, you know, glancing?

    Is the prepaid service plan worth it?

    I haven’t bought any plans yet since I’m on a 3 yr lease. With the i5’s regenerative braking you’ll likely barely notice brake wear unless you're actively trying to wear them out:ROFLMAO: Paying upfront for something you’ll rarely replace is a bit like buying an umbrella you never use. As for...

    Scheduled Charging Wont Start

    Glad you got it working! Sometimes it’s a mix of things that do the trick. As long as the charge schedule’s good now that’s what matters

    Just wondering what happens to the battery if left baking in the summer sun for two weeks

    I’ve had my i5 M60 for 12 days and it’s been awesome. I’m about to leave it parked in an airport lot for two weeks. I’ll turn off the departure time climatization so it doesn’t waste energy running the AC. Anything else I should do? Also, just wondering what happens to the battery if I leave it...

    Charging issues with BMW i5

    Sounds like your i5 is pulling a little "techy drama"😅 The timed charge and flap issues could be software glitches, and the resetting amps? Maybe it’s trying to keep you on your toes! I’d suggest getting in touch with the dealer and seeing if there’s a software update or reset that can...

    Seats are stuck

    Hey everyone, First time posting here! I just got my i5 Touring and I can't seem to move the seats back. They're stuck too far forward, and it's a tight squeeeze. I can adjust them up and down and change the angle but the forward/backward movement doesn't work at all. The passenger seat is...

    Can we charge from a Porsche Wall Charger Connect?

    From what I’ve heard, issues might arise from differences in charging protocols or software, but many people have successfully used various EV chargers as long as the connector and power specs are compatible. The Porsche Wall Charger Connect, for example, uses the same Type 2 connector as most...

    Chargepoint app

    I recently got a 2025 i5 and am figuring out public charging. In the Chargepoint app, there’s a selection for the "2024 BMW i5 eDrive 40," but not the 2025 model, so I went with the 2024. I noticed many Chargepoint stations weren’t showing up. The only preset connector was "DC Fast Combo," but I...

    Frunkless

    I haven’t found it useful to unlock it from the inside every time. Since aftermarket frunks are available for the i4, I’m sure something will be released for the i5 soon.

    Annoying Charge High Voltage Battery message

    Hi everyone! I’m new to the forum and also have a brand new i5. I keep getting the "Charge High Voltage Battery" message on both displays, even when the battery is at 80%. Any ideas on how to fix this without having to visit my dealer? Thanks in advance
