Hi after I set the car to charge at a predetermined time last night the car kept trying to charge immediately. After multi attempts I think I managed to get the car to charge at the predetermined time even though when you look at the charging log it states that the car was charging once I plugged it in to my Zappie charger - see screenshot of the charging log.

You will see from the phone notifications the multiple attempts I’m referring to.

Is there something that I’m doing wrong?

My previous car was a Tesla and I had no issues with selecting a charging time with my home charger.

Hi Ger
Have you disabled the charge immediately option in the idrive charging menu?
That might be overriding your schedule.

I got the same when I set it up on the via the APP see notes (in red) - Perhaps when you stop driving you should check the screen message does not say charge immediately, I'll try that next

When I checked the car just now the “charge immediately” was selected. I’ve now reset to time slot so let see how I get on the next time - here is how I have set it up - see images.

Another question re AC limit - is it better to have the limit set to 32amps or leave unselected? - I’m on phase one power.

Thanks again

So the issue with the predetermined charging was software related. During a diagnostic check there was a number of issues identified which were all corrected following a software update.

I am still having issue with this, and it always charge immediately despite the set up on time slot. I have not software update showing . anyone else still having the issues and know of the solutions please. Thank you

I did not have a software updated showing. The issue was identified only after a diagnostic was carried out on the car by BMW. You will need to book the car in for a diagnostic at BMW.
