Re: Sold my ID3

Mine was on a PCP first time for me , tbh it was easy to settle and the sale just about covered the residual.
It went from a car with a waiting list , we won’t buy that back sir

Sold my ID3

Really enjoyed it , it was a good car , a fun and interesting drive but holding on to it felt like a financial mistake . I lost a lot of money on it , but thought I’d lose more . When I bought it in September ‘21 it seemed myself and the rest of the world and the motoring press thought differently a...

Re: Dealers and 3.0 software

When my update was done and the 12v recall at same visit it diagnosed some issue with a cell .
It was there a week and they gave me a bill ( not paid by me due to warranty) I’ve just over £4000.00… ouch

Re: Second hand value and depreciation

Prices have crashed in recent months, where lucky that’s ours is a work car so doesn’t affect us but when I’ve been noisy our July 21 tour with 30000 is only getting £18000! Less than half its cost in under two years I was offered less for a 8k mile PRO I think it’s oversupply , I reckon I’ll keep ...

Re: Second hand value and depreciation

I don’t want folk to worry, just interested if anyone else was similarly disappointed?Its a great car , our streets in London are full of them , ULEZ on the way , I thought it would b...

Second hand value and depreciation

I’ve had the new software fitted, it was away for a week . But I’m thinking of changing back to ICE , I’m 2 years in on a PCP , first time for me , and looked at paying it off it or alternatively,trading it in . I’ve been very surprised by the low value ascribed to it .. ‘71 plate less than 9k miles...

Re: Strange circular door marks

I concur that they disappear after a wash , I’ve not polished it yet .
I never thought of some robot sucker etc during manufacture.I bet there a video and we can find the culprit

Strange circular door marks

Has anyone else had these , my friends Id3 has them in exactly the same position on front and rear door near the bottom about 6cm diameter. 3C81CB10-79C0-453E-961E-51779EFCB921.jpeg They reappear in the same place , they look like it’s been hit with a oily tennis ball . My theory is done fort of tra...

Auto headlights

It seems my headlights are dipped on start up and stay on along with sidelights even on a bright day .
Is there an option to change , cycling through the auto button I can turn them off , but it seems an odd default which can’t help battery range

Using id3 to pump a paddleboard

So when I picked it up the salesperson said it didn’t have a 12v socket . Turns out it does in the boot, and I used to pump up a couple of paddle boards with an electric pump from the petrol BMW. With the ICE car , I just ran the engine to keep from draining the 12v.What will happen with the ID3 ? C...
