Welcome to the electric side! The quirks can be a bit confusing at first, but we’ve all been there! With fast charging, it’s actually supposed to continue even if you lock it, so if it stops charging when you lock the car, it’s either a glitch or maybe an issue with that specific charger. Try a...

Oh man, I had the same thing happen to me! Washed mine, left it in the garage for like two weeks, and when I went to drive, it felt like the brakes were glued in place. I had to press the accelerator a bit harder than usual, and there was a loud pop, just like you said. Took it for a drive, and...

Ooh, a heated steering wheel sounds perfect for those cold mornings! I’ve looked into this a bit myself since I also didn’t get that option with my Mini. From what I’ve read, it’s definitely possible to upgrade, but it might not be cheap. You’ll probably have to swap the wheel out and get some...

Great that you're thinking ahead! To avoid damage to your charging port, here are a few things you can do: Don’t force the connector if it doesn’t go in smoothly. Clean the port regularly with a soft cloth to prevent dirt buildup. Avoid pulling on the cable or twisting it sharply when plugging...

I had the same issue with my sunshade, and it was blinding my neighbors every morning. Got a bit of scolding from their elders a few weeks ago. 😅 I ended up going with a non-reflective fabric one from WeatherTech, and it’s been relatively good since. Not only does it keep the car cool during...

uhhhh I’m also thinking of activating the rear fog lights on my SE, so I’m curious to see how yours goes! From what I’ve gathered, Bimmercode should make it pretty easy, but like others have said, just be sure the wiring’s all set before diving in. Have you already checked if the light housing...
