Questions About 2015 BMW i3 Electric Systems
-
Is it more expensive to repair BMW i3 electric vehicle systems? The answer is, it depends. Certain high voltage parts are only available as components in larger units. We do offer promotional financing through the Firestone credit card.* (*Subject to credit approval.)
-
How often should you replace BMW i3 brakes? A brake inspection is your smartest first step. Investing in manufacturer suggested maintenance intervals for BMW i3 brakes is another good idea. That said, front brake pad wear can be significantly reduced in electric vehicles because of regenerative braking.
-
Why is my BMW i3 dashboard warning light on? There are so many reasons the i3 dashboard warning light can illuminate. Stop by Firestone Complete Auto Care for an electric vehicle diagnostic to learn more. You may also have a warning light on the dash regarding your high voltage system.
-
Why is water leaking from my i3? Electric cars use a receiver dryer assembly to help keep the A/C refrigerant free of contaminants, and this process can produce some condensation. When it’s warm outside, this condensation may drain under the vehicle. If you’ve been running the air conditioner in your i3 for some time, don’t be too concerned to find a bit of water under it. However, if you discover large amounts of water or any coolant leaking under your vehicle, you may have a problem with the cooling system or another component.

How frequently should I have my BMW i3 vehicle serviced? Service intervals for a BMW i3 depend greatly on your driving habits. Consult your owner's manual and remember that electric cars still require regular maintenance, such as tire rotations, brake inspections, and fluid checks. They also require battery, brake, and A/C system maintenance.

EV Services for Your 2015 BMW i3
Has your BMW i3 been feeling a bit "off"? Maybe you've noticed slower acceleration, or it just doesn't feel as "peppy" as it once did. Whatever the issue, Firestone technicians can conduct a no-charge* electric/hybrid vehicle check to get a better idea. Perhaps there is trouble inside your i3's high voltage cooling system -- if the high voltage battery is running too hot, it will reduce your battery's performance. Or, perhaps there are Diagnostic Trouble Codes stored in one of your i3's electric modules? Firestone Complete Auto technicians are trained to provide conventional and low voltage services for all electric car makes and models, including your 2015 BMW i3.
Certain Firestone stores also have advanced/high voltage services for electric cars like BMW i3s. A high voltage service is anything that requires removing the BMW's high voltage, service/safety disconnect plug/switch, servicing the high voltage battery pack, high voltage A/C compressor, or any high voltage electric machines/motors or high voltage cables, etc. Before making an appointment, call your closest location to confirm that high voltage services are offered.
Your store's high voltage electric vehicle service may include:
Electric vehicle diagnostic: A diagnostic is the next step we take after noting the symptoms your BMW i3 is showcasing. This step will help us get to the bottom of the real problem. With those insights, a trained technician will further diagnose electric vehicle problems you're having and determine what tests (if any) are needed. No repairs are performed without your consent.
High voltage battery cooling inspection: The technician will closely examine the high voltage battery's filter and, if needed, clean the battery's ducts. (This applies to air-cooled high voltage batteries. Liquid-cooled or refrigerant-cooled high voltage batteries are inspected differently.)
High voltage cable inspection: Cables can get damaged. In this inspection, your tehnician will examine the exterior cable jackets and connectors and test to make sure high voltage is NOT transferring to the chassis of your BMW i3. If the cable needs to be replaced, they'll let you know.
Isolation test: For this test, a special tool is used to reveal if a high voltage component is "leaking" energy to the vehicle's chassis.
Remove and replace high voltage battery: Is the battery in your BMW i3 dead? Sometimes electric vehicle batteries can wear out sooner than you expect in hotter climates or if you use Level 3 fast-charging stations often, since these stations may heat the battery more. We can replace your electric vehicle's high voltage battery.
Health check for the power electronic systems: We'll check the power inverter, electric drive machine(s)/motor(s), and/or regenerative braking in your BMW i3.
These are only a few of the special electric car services that could be available at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care. Call ahead to confirm!
