I think the NBT iDrive system came out with the 2013 model. I'm not sure if the 2012 model uses CIC or NBT but that's a major difference imo.

I'm pretty sure the AH3 was discontinued after 2013 but I could be wrong.

Verified with Dealers and BMW....as well as countless others aware of it on this board


But don't take my word for it. Simply search for the earlier thread or have a GPS measure your speed while you drive and look at your speedometer

Ok yet me everyone else I've see on this board and Fuelly's get similar mileage. Even if the battery was removed, you'd get better than 20mpg

Bumping this ancient thread. Anyone with an AH3 had an issue with the hybrid system Electric Motor Electronics (EME)? Dealership is quoting me $4700 to replace it. Car has 58,000 miles and was in the shop a couple times last year for hybrid drivetrain related issues such as not recharging the battery, no hybrid output, etc. They only updated/reloaded software on those visits.

Thanks.

I thought the hybrid system had a 7 yr /70,000 warranty though not sure if it applies to the EME causing your issues.

My AH3 has 89,000 miles with no hybrid related issues. Been a great car to drive.

Helping a friend sell his 2013 Activehybrid 3 (he just replaced with a Tesla Model 3) and this thread has some very useful information on the car. Pretty fun car, I've been driving it around for a week or so.

If anyone is looking for one, let me know. I'll post in the Classifieds as soon as I'm approved.
