Problems With i3 E-Transmission Possibly?
I've driven other i3 models and haven't noticed this problem, so I am unsure if anyone else has this issue. I will set up a simple scenario: While slowing down to a stop sign (2-3 mph range), I accelerate, the car does not ease into the motion of acceleration. Another instance is in stop-and-go traffic. I'm not talking about torque, rather it seems that the car's transmission has an issue where the car jerks forward all of a sudden. Please do not come at me telling it's the torque, because I realize electric vehicles are notorious for that, but it's the jerking sensation that is concerning. An analogy would be the sensation you get when you stall a manual vehicle where your head goes back and the car jerks forward, thus preventing a smooth transition from stopping to going. If no one is still clear about what I am talking about, I would be happy to upload a video of this scheme occurring.
P.S. I was told by my dealer that it could be an issue with the motor mounts, but I took it to another mechanic and he said they were fine. I don't know what the issue is. 2014 BMW i3 REx. |

I wonder if it is the hill assist keeping the brakes on too long?
Is the problem like stepping on the accelerator and all of sudden the car takes off with a jolt when the brakes release? Our Mini does that on occasion, I have asked Mini service if they could turn it off but they cant. Our i3 runs pretty smooth and hasn't behaved like that. |
