Questions About 2019 BMW i3 Electric Systems
-
Does it cost more 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 check is one of the best ways to know for sure. Staying on top of your OEM maintenance intervals for i3 brakes helps, too. In general, however, front brake pad wear is less in electric vehicles thanks to regenerative braking.
-
Why is my BMW i3 dashboard warning light on? Your BMW i3 dashboard warning light might be on due to a number or reasons. You may also have a warning light on the dash regarding your high voltage system. Stop by Firestone Complete Auto Care for an electric vehicle diagnostic to learn more.
-
Why is my i3 leaking water? 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? To determine the optimal service intervals for your BMW i3, it is important to consider factors such as your driving habits, vehicle age, and mileage. Check your owner's manual or speak with an automotive professional for more specific guidance. Keep in mind that even electric cars require regular maintenance, such as tire rotations, brake inspections, and fluid checks. Additionally, electric cars require maintenance for the battery, brakes, and A/C system.

Local EV Service for 2019 BMW i3
Does your BMW i3 run differently than it used to? Maybe you've noticed slower acceleration, or it just doesn't feel as "peppy" as it once did. If that's the case, our technicians can run through a no-cost* hybrid/electric vehicle check for more details. There could be an issue with the high voltage cooling system in your i3 -- if the high voltage battery is running hot, it will limit the 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 vehicles, and that includes your 2019 BMW i3.
Some Firestone locations also have advanced/high voltage services for Electric Vehicles like the BMW i3. A high voltage service is anything that requires removing the i3's high voltage, safety/service disconnect switch/plug, servicing any high voltage cables, the power inverter, the high voltage electric machines/motors, the high voltage battery pack, high voltage A/C compressor, etc. Before making an appointment, call your closest location to confirm that high voltage services are offered.
These are some of the high voltage electric vehicle services that may be offered at your location:
Electric vehicle diagnostic: After any symptoms are identified, then our team performs a diagnostic on your 2019 BMW i3 to get to the root of the trouble. With those insights, a trained technician will further pinpoint any electric vehicle problems and figure out if more tests 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: During this test, the technician will use a special tool to check for any high voltage components that are "leaking" electric energy to the 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, as these stations can heat up the battery more. Let us install a new electric vehicle 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!
