These all came as standard with my car - although I am in the UK.

Yeah, it's disappointing but it's a hybrid. As a hybrid it's brilliant. As an all electric it's not as advertised.
I use it for a lot of short hauls and I'm disappointed when at about 12-13 miles my all electric mode is done. But mixing between all electric and sport or even comfort with battery hold I can achieve 68 mpg. It's tricky and takes work, but that at least can be done. I have 1,229 miles as of tonight and am averaging 68.8 mpg.

BMW tech's don't actually have access to the software that is for coding. They can do retrofit coding and software updates, but not individual options.

Is the coding for an i8 any different for the regular non-hybrid BMWs?
I've coded all my previous bimmers and hoping I'll be able to code the i8 too. |

What I would really love is if the ambient lighting changed according to drive mode - like the instrument cluster. |

USB in motion is for playing videos while driving. It is awesome...a bit distracting though lol Shouldn't be any issues playing audio from USB without any coding. |
