    Why BMW Dealers so greedy?

    I agree with this comment and must add that I took my used 2021 to a dealer and overpaid for new tires (even more than they quoted me). Two months later I had a flat in the morning and threw some air in it and waited in line as the same dealer opened. I explained the situation and they asked...

    Using range extender only for electric charge

    If you are in the US I suggest you look on Amazon for a UL listed charger and stay away from EBAY.

    Using range extender only for electric charge

    I doubt it is reasonably possible or cost effective. Why not look at selling your I3 and purchasing an I3 with REX?

    Why BMW Dealers so greedy?

    My I3 is the first and last BMW all because of the dealer network. 3 different dealers have been servicing my I3. One of them replacing the windshield for $1,950 and damaged the roof and a pillar and forgot to mention it to me when I picked my car up. Outright lies telling me I can't purchase...

    What would happen if I keep driving on GAS(REX) w/o chargng?

    When my 2021 I3s with 31,000 miles Rex actually works without shutting off and throwing a drive train error and check engine light it works well. I have been told the REX is not designed for primary propulsion and will likely die an early death if used too much. I agree with many people...

    2021 BMWI3s with REX 26.000 miles fuel vent valve replaced twice

    I recently took my 2021 BMWI3s with REX 26.000 miles on it for a long trip and coming back the only level 3 charger was blocked so I drove all the way home on the rex stopping for gas twice. The following day I get a check engine light and take it into the dealership. They said the fuel vent...
