  1. Hi, Is anyone else having trouble with BMW EV's? I have a 2022 iX3 which has stranded my wife twice. It appears to update the software while charging, not that it tells us that but based on what BMW tell us after the event it's always after a software update and charge. Drives once then won't start. BMW say there may have been an interruption in the update, or a problem with the update, they aren't sure, but again it gives no warning of a problem. We haven't picked the car up because they cannot assure us it won't happen again, at anytime, in any location. They say they have given a report to BMW but refuse to give us a copy of the report. Also, for the first nine months the car said it was incompatible with the UK when engaging drive assist. I took it back, they said they'd fixed it but they hadn't. They they told me it would sort itself out with the next update, but it didn't, eventually they did a full reinstall of the software and that has fixed it. They say they have never seen these problems before I would really like to know if there are more people having problems with i series cars.
  2. Thanks Dave, unfortunately BMW are not distinguishing themselves, the dealer it's with can't assure us we won't be stranded again, anytime, anywhere with no warning. they say they have sent an internal report but refuse to provide us with a copy. I'll start a dedicated post to see if there are others have trouble with BMW i Series....
  3. Hi, Newbee joining. I'm on my ninth BMW starting with a 1979 316 I bought used in 1984. I now drive a 2022 iX3. I've been a real fan of BMW enjoyed every one but the iX3 just doesn't work. SW faults that stop it going into drive ready leaving my wife stranded, discrepancies between the app and the car, warnings about urgent service requirements for battery and high voltage system faults which turn out to be false. Anyone else having these issues?
