BMW i Drivers Guide App

Not sure if this is common knowledge or not; I just found it yesterday by accident.

For those who have their VIN number already, you can download the BMW i Drivers Guide App (for either iOS or Android) which contains some cool stuff, but most importantly the full Owner's Manual.

You can download it anyway, which I did; however, without a VIN, only the "demo" portion works which happens to be a demo i3 manual, not an i8 manual. I was hoping to get my hands on a manual but don't have a VIN yet so will have to wait.

Just thought I'd share as it might help pass the time while your i8 is being built.

If you find the site that did the 0-60 tests back in LA, they have a vin on their form that works.

EDIT: managed to find the site, not sure why couldn't see it a minute ago : http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-revi...ngs-we-learned

Great idea, thanks!

I've got the i8 manual in there now... sweet!

Updated the OP with some screenshots...

I tried my VIN (last 7 digits) and it didn't work. Must require that the car has completed production for the system to recognize it. It worked when I put in the R&T VIN, however. Interesting to note that the manual is written for the UK market, as indicated by some of the spellings (e.g. "favourites").
