High Power Charging for your fully electric BMW
Learn in this video what to consider when charging your BMW iX3 and other fully electric BMWs at a High Power DC Charging station. High Power Charging facilities can be useful during a journey when charging needs to go fast. You can charge with maximum charging capacity and speed when: the battery’s state of charge is low, the system is on operating temperature, and the charging settings, which can be found by going to “CAR”, “Plan Charging/Climate”, “Settings”, “DC Settings” are set to ‘Automatic’ or ‘Not limited’. Choose “Automatic” or “Limited” to reduce noise emissions while charging. You can set a “Target State of Charge” in the same Charge Settings Menu. High power charging at public charging stations is only recommendable up to a state of charge of 80 % as the remaining time charge up to 100% is significantly longer. Make sure that the DC charging station you wish to use offers High Power Charging, with sufficient charging power. The specified charging power a charging station can theoretically provide can be higher or lower than the charging power the vehicle can be charged with.
The BMW Driver’s Guide app specifically describes the equipment and functions included in the vehicle.

The BMW Group understands addressing climate change requires industry collaboration across different economic sectors, and a restructuring of traditional processes for producing and using energy. This Earth Day, the company is doubling down on its efforts to deliver more clean energy to California.
As the first automaker to establish renewable energy partnerships with agricultural dairy farms, the BMW Group is expanding and adding to those initiatives. Through its existing partnership with Straus Organic Dairy Farm in Marshall, CA , the farm has recently installed an expanded biodigester that transforms methane gas into renewable energy, successfully demonstrating how this partnership can be used to support more renewable energy development on small-scale organic dairy farms. Additionally, the BMW Group launched a partnership with CalBio, a developer of over 90 dairy digesters in California to increase access to more clean energy sources.
These collaborations generate enough renewable energy to offset all BMW and MINI EV charging emissions in the state of CA with the cleanest type of energy available. Additionally, that energy is also exported to the public power grid, providing over 11 million kWh of renewable energy to the state. The result is a reduction of 27,000 metric tons of carbon emissions per year, which according to the EPA, is the equivalent of the carbon benefits of planting a forest the size of San Francisco.

Learn in this video how to mount the BMW Roof-Mounted Bike Rack. It is a safe way to transport mountain bikes, street, touring, and children’s bicycles and on your BMW. You can mount the bike rack on the base rails of BMW roof carriers or railing carriers.
Prepare the bike rack by placing the rim guard over the toothed belt on the roof-mounted bike rack. Then place the end of the tooth belt through the buckle. Use the key to open the lock on the front lever and remove it from the bike rack. Now unlock the fastening wheel. Push the barrel nuts into the openings of the rear locking lever and of the front two locking levers. Guide the short sliding block through the opening of the rear base plate of the bike rack and screw the rear locking lever onto it from above. Guide the long sliding blocks into the openings on the side of the fastening wheel and screw the front locking levers onto the sliding blocks from above. Open the side covers of the mounted roof carrier bars on your BMW. Mount the bike rack onto the rails of the roof carrier, by aligning the sliding blocks around the centre of the carrier bars. Insert the sliding blocks into the rails of the roof carrier bars and slide the bike rack into the required position. Secure the bike rack on the roof carrier bars by turning the locking levers tight and then pressing each locking lever downwards forcefully until they engage with an audible click. Close the lock in the front locking lever.
When it is delivered, the roof-mounted bike rack is designed for loading from the right-hand side of the car. It is possible to modify the roof-mounted bike rack for loading from the left-hand side of the car. Click here to browse BMW accessories.
