    What about the bike

    I checked out the gibike. Nice idea. Unfortunately, the fold is not competitive compared to a Brompton. Also, the photo with the seat on the floor makes me worry that the seat would be worn in no time. Gocycle does better and is electric.

    UK used i3s on Autotrader

    There appear to be a good number of i3s on there with an average of £5k off cash price which is pretty good value. However a DC equipment appears rare as only very few have it! Some even lack winter pack which is absolutely essential in the UK. If looking to buy used, DC and winter pack are...

    Blue wrapped i3

    Looks really hot! I'm in Aberdeenshire. I would like to do a wrap as well. How much did this cost if you don't mind...,,

    Lease new or buy used?

    It's interesting that almost everyone advocates some sort of leasing for an EV. A common argument is flexibility to take advantage of new technology. Leasing locks one in, not buying. A buyer can sell tomorrow as long as one is willing to take the financial hit. If you believe BMW has been...

    BMW R&D Boss - "...very hard to replace the batteries..."

    Very true that it is more profitable to sell new cars than batteries. Even if upgrades are offered, I bet most i3 owners would get a new car. This is because there are few i3 purchases with probably around 90% leasing. If you can turn the car in, why not just get the new model? On the other...

    Battery - Best Practice

    Hi there. No there's no clear guidance on battery care apart from not leaving it at low charge or 100% for extended periods. If travelling for a few weeks, leave at 70% charge thereabouts. I have read that the number of deep discharges affects the battery capacity. Consequently, it's better...

    Park Assist Package in UK - why I think it's a mistake

    Totally agree. I didn't add it for the same reason. I know some guys have added aftermarket cameras though.

    eDrive exterior sound

    Hi there. Sorry I haven't heard the sound and can't comment on it. However, I dont have it and have been stuck behind strolling pedestrians a few times already. Exterior sound would be helpful in such situations.

    UK Order v Delivery Dates

    I used BG as well. BG did install the wrong cable (Type 1) even though I said it was an i3.... Luckily, I noticed this once the installer told me he was finished (good thing I had a four day test drive and was familiar with the charging port type). They came back the following week to change...

    How to turn REx off?

    Perhaps ask this on the Facebook page as well? I wouldn't go to BMW unless all else fails. They could easily void your warranty saying that your coding has affect the engine since it's not designed to be on for a long period...... blah blah...

    UK Order v Delivery Dates

    It appears my i3 is finally at the dealer tomorrow. Pick up planned for Friday! Dealer has very kindly agreed to put my winter tyres on before pick up.
