How to efficiently cool the electric motor in a BMW i8?

I have been driving my BMW i8 for a few months now and I've noticed that the electric motor tends to overheat, especially during long drives or when driving in hot weather. What are some ways to efficiently cool the motor and prevent any damages or malfunctions?

Hi John, overheating of the electric motor in a BMW i8 is a common issue which can lead to serious malfunctions if not addressed properly. One of the most effective ways to cool the motor is by using the auto stop/start function. This will temporarily shut off the motor when the car is idle, allowing it to cool down. Additionally, make sure to regularly check the coolant levels and ensure they are at the recommended level. Another tip is to use the car's pre-conditioning feature to cool down the interior before starting your drive, as this will also help in cooling the motor.

Hi John, I've faced the same issue with my BMW i8 and one thing that has worked for me is parking the car in a shaded area or under a covered parking spot. This helps in keeping the temperature around the car lower and prevents the motor from overheating. In case of long drives, try to take breaks and let the car rest for a few minutes before starting again. Don't forget to regularly check the air filter, as a clogged filter can also cause the motor to run hotter.
