It happens on some DC and HPC chargers, but not others. Filter the map view to BMW Charging and High Speed, and try clicking a few and sending them to your vehicle. |

Tested this today, and it's fair to say it didn't make a noticeable difference to my charging.
There was no indication in the car that anything was happening during the supposed pre-warming either on the infotainment screen or on the energy usage so I'd suggest it is an app feature, not a car feature at the moment! |

Many thanks for that. Since I have had the car from September 2021 I have charged at 50 KW/h chargers when out an about. I have found at the start the charge rate is slow around 35 Kw/h but after about 10-15 minutes it hits around 47-48 KW/h for the best part of charge but once it hits 80% it slows down to almost 4KW/h for the final 5% of the charge, (100%) In February I went down to Harlow and used the BP Pulse 150KW/h chargers and found that it hit max around 90KW/h. Never reached the peak and to be honest I had driven around 125 miles and so the batteries should have been warm. Several other times have charged again at BP pulse chargers and again never seen above 90 KW/h. So don't know. But it was in February and it was cold. if this app works for the Pre LCI models that would be good.

We're away in Scotland this weekend and headed up late last night. The charging stop was at Gretna services on the Ionity chargers.
It's the first time I used one that will charge at 150kwh. I was on about 18%.charge when we arrived. It charged between 147-150kwh until around 60%, then dropped to 90kwh and stayed there until I disconnected at 80% charge. I let the Nav select the charging stop so I'm guessing the preheating kicked in automatically. It didn't prompt me to switch it on, as it did previously though |

The last days the temperature dropped to around or below zero, and when charging with my iX3 pre LCI at an HPC charger I experienced also very low charging speeds: between 18 and 24 KW/H for at least 10 minutes and after that slowly ramping up speed.
And i still can't find the preheating option in the car or app (like i had in my 2 previous Tesla's). Does anyone know if there is an update or work around on this issue? |

I’m in the same boat and complained to BMW as I felt mis-led - the adverts for BMW fast charging never mention that low temperature will cold gate the charging process. It’s also a known issue as pre-heating was included in later models. You can guess how far my complaints got, still waiting for a reply 10 months on….. |

Reading this thread and not sure if it relates to my issue but you guys sound knowledgeable and may be able to help or tell me to start a new thread.
My IX3 71 plate in the UK won’t charge above 46 kw on any charger. This figure doesn’t change…always 46. People on adjacent chargers are in the 100plus bracket and I’ have envy. It has previously charged a lot higher. . I’ve contacted BMW direct and not found anyone to talk to who has any interest in helping me. Any ideas? Best Wishes |
