Same with our zs. I think it was originally a bmw idea (I may be wrong) to have lights on with continual wipers. Asked our dealer about it and they don’t seem to offer this as an option. Once you’re used to it, as i was, you do miss it !
have applied rainx recently. Ran the demist with full heat throughout application. Applied three thick coats with blower still active then buffed with a clean micro cloth. It’s not irradiated the problem but it’s about 90% better. For a few quid may be worth a try for everyone.

ours hated the recent cold snap and dropped to your figures. As it’s warmed I’m back up to 165 same as others. I run it (mostly) without the fan in eco and get around 4mi/kWh daily.

You get less range in the cold. The accumulated trip totals go down when you leave the car running/defrosting etc. And if you sit running lights and heaters whilst on a rapid charger it goes down even more. More things used it thinks it’s running less efficiently . I find resetting the...
It’s a fine art as I have discovered. If you brake hard to a stop the auto hold (green (P)) does not engage and the car creeps. You can then slowly/gently release the pedal and push down firmly again before you move off and it engages. Aim to brake as gently as possible to a halt and it engages...
I just turn mine off at night. Works a treat. Second you touch a dial or sat nav gives you directions it comes back on and off as soon as it’s clear ??
Bought a 1kg silica bag which helps slightly. Leave it on the dash by the windscreen. Have used rainx anti fog in the past and not found it useful. Think i will try it in the zs. Frequent cleaning with periodic fan seems to be all I can do just now.
Warm water and fairy liquid to clean it off. Happens a lot with our works vehicles. Mixture of skin/sweat/products on peoples hands. Then coat the surfaces with autoglym vinyl and rubber care. Leaves a nice shine and smells amazing ?
Our gen 1 Zs exclusive performs well with these settings. Our other car is a 5 series with sub woofers etc under the seats. As a budget brand it will never compare. The system just isn’t as powerful. It is however acceptable for day to day stuff. Our sound quality is the same wether...
Just for some context and to back up my previous post my daily commute is 40 miles. In the am I achieve 3.8miles/kWh as mostly all uphill. 19 miles of dual carriageway. Return journey car sits at 4-4.2 miles/kWh. The average over 2 and a half thousand miles is sitting at 3.8. The attached...
It’s the same as any conventional ice vehicle tbh. It has its uses if you are feeling lazy but you use significantly more fuel with “cruise control” on. Have used it on various motorcycles and cars and it’s just not an efficent way of driving. The lack of Kers is why I rarely use the system in...
I have noticed the same with our ZS. It needs to be pretty dark before they activate. Just a characteristic of the cars I think. Also they don’t activate (as I think they should) in heavy rain either fyi. Let us know if the dealership can alter the sensitivity for you!
Hi guys now the cooler weather is coming in I have noticed the interior windows are constantly fogging up. Not to insult anyone but I have used various different cleaners to ensure the windows are spick and span so know the glass is clean and I know how to use the hvac system etc. it just seems...
Hi we’re these Ali express? I have always bought heiko ones and the stick on effect is putting me off. How have you found them now you have had them a while?
