Hmmm. Quick enough to replace, but I got a “reverse lamp malfunction” notification and no lights. Polarity? Or coding?
Oh! Mine just swapped right in, no issues. No coding either. Try rotating them 180 deg?
Funny thing is that the only place I read about turning the bulb 180 deg was on the Philips website!
Ad BMW I 3 motor to rear used one from EBay you be able to use a lot of components as they the same as SE and you have 4wheel drive and pack batteries behind front sits LeaveExisting HV battery at the same place and 94 amph behind a sits for rear motor. You can make a rocket with 360 HP.I3 motor in rear in bmw I 3 is very simplistic to install you use the same axle hub rotor brakes inverter make two chargers outlets separate for two HV batteries to simplify a project .
Making an SE as heavy as a Model 3?
I was never able to spin a rear wheels in my 2014 BMW I 3 and I was not able disconnect traction bc was no button there and like you said rear give you better traction to take of .I weight my i3 on commercial scale and with 60Ah battery was2650 lbs.Driving I 3 for 6 years and SE for 7 month I know for sure I 3 was faster but not as solid on road with speeds above 60m/h like SE but nobody believe me to bad but I know what I know.Bc I 3 is there since 2014 is many parts on market and to build SE with rear drive for knowable mechanic should be no issue .I can put build like that together mechanically but I’m completely 0 with H voltage batteries computer programming and all electric work involved with build like this.I’m sure somebody is going to do it soon just for fun.
Tesla 3 single motor 3582 lbs.dual 4250 lbs.BMW i4 4680 lbs . Tesla M X 5390 lbs .MINI SE 3150 lbs.When you add BMW motor and battery could be 3800 lbs. which is not bad but what’s a fun in Minis body like someone said don’t care about range and additional 20 K just for fun .Just do it don’t wait for warranty expiration what this have to do to go ahead with a build and $7500 make this car a cheapest on market.My I 3 after 7 1/2 year never required dealer visits .
Battery upgrade is definitely on the table. Working on schematics to fiqure out how much room I'll be working with. I'm talking with a couple different people on controllers. The AEM one seems promising but there's a couple others that seem more setup for Tesla motors.
Weird issue for sure. Bulbs just might not be pulling enough watts, even with coding changes (if that even does anything, I didn't even need it).
You reaching a moon is no room in Mini to achieve what you looking for batteries never going to support a Teslas motors bc they will be to small old ACE platform is not aloud to put batteries between a wheels and this is end of your imagination which I really admire you try to reach .I’m going to follow your progress .
BMW I 3 is here since 2014 is 8 years on a market so far reading all and everywhere nobody so far try to upgrade in USA I 3 batteries from 60 Ah through 94 Ah through 120 Ah they did in U K but DIY by 2 people and specifically with SE as T configuration you can replace batteries with a car when battery survives only with same they will be no batteries with existing configuration with higher range .BMW offers replacement with the same batteries 60Ah to oldest models for $16000 as I’m assuming the same 94ah and 120 Ah I don’t know a price .what is good about it after 7 years not big milage 21000 miles my battery hold a charge a
8 years after bmw I 3 is nothing there to improve i3 and this is idea of bmw
Oh absolutely! Always love to share. If it wasn't for the sharing of information, most of us wouldn't be able to do half the things we do to our modern cars.
