    I3 with dead 12v and release cable frozen

    Had this happen right after we purchased our 2016 i3. Luckily it was covered under warranty and BMW came with a flatbed. Hope you can get that 12v to charge. Good luck.

    Before you buy or lease an i3 Be Aware of the Tire Problem

    Excellent advice. We did the same when we replaced our tires.

    Battery Replacement Under Warranty

    Thanks for the info on keeping the 12v charged. I've been driving the i3 for the last few days and have been leaving it plugged in so hopefully the 12v is now recharged.

    Battery Replacement Under Warranty

    Ours has been parked for a few months thanks to covid and our displayed range has dropped from 81 miles to 67 miles. How can I check the max battery capacity? thanks in advance. David

    Can't decide on buying the i3

    The i3 bev is a blast to drive around town. We bought our 2016 from BMW the a 4 year warranty. For reference, our 2015 Tesla P85D only comes out for my commute to work because the i3 is just more fun around town. If you have a second car, or you never leave your local area, the i3 (used) is a...

    i3 is over

    We picked up a 2016 i3 BEV last month to take over our local daily driving (50-100 miles per day). Lots of back and forth with the 2 kids. The car is a ton of fun around town and range is never an issue with a variety of chargers around. We also have a L2 charger at home for quick refills as...

    Leasing new 2018 model vs buying 2016 model

    Just picked up a 2016 BEV with just over 10,000 miles. The range is not an issue for us as all of our driving is local. We have a level 2 charger at home and there are many local charging options.

    Why did you buy the BMW i3?

    US. The car is perfect for 90+% of all our local driving. 40-100 miles per day. Went BEV as there are many L2 chargers in the local area and we have a L2 charger at home. We have had a Tesla since the beginning of 2015 and the i3 was a great addition.

    How to get best price on CPO i3?

    We just purchased a 2016 CPO i3 BEV from our local BMW dealer . Skipped the REX as we don't need it for our local driving. We searched CarFax and OffLeaseOnly while shopping. The pricing was all very similar so we went with the local dealer. I think we were driving the car home about 3 hours...

    Plastidipped rims and Aftermarket MTX speakers (update)

    Just picked up a 2016 with the same colors and wheels. Now that I see what it looks like I will be dipping my wheels as well. Love the updated look.
