Thanks for the recommendation! I can’t believe this is the first I’m hearing of this indispensable app.

I immediately ran into a snag with the app, describing which model/battery I have. My owner’s manual is silent on the subject (thanks, BMW…) I happened to have saved the window sticker, which describes it as 42 kWh. The app gives me choices expressed in Ah – 60, 90, 120. So what do I have and how do I answer the app prompt? TIA.
