We had experienced such an issue when our i3 was only 5 months of age on May 2015, here in İstanbul. You can find my posts regarding the situation via this link (or the one at the bottom) : http://www.mybmwi3.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=2763&p=25691&hilit=frunk#p25691 Conclusively, I paid...

Hi, Due to the incredibly high ÖTV (sth like _Special Consuming Tax_) rates our local representative (namely, Borusan Otomotiv) did never bring REx version of BMW i3 to Turkey. I've heard sth like former CEO of Borusan Otomotiv had imported one sample for his own curiosity; I am not sure. with...

Our i3 is Arravani Gray (=battleship gray), as you know dear Art. ;) This accident/car looks unterrible but nevertheless he needs to pay a visit to İstanbul (Avcılar) where i3s' vehicle body interventions are made solely. " God bless you "

Hi, I have a minor confusion about our i3's total road distance that we had travelled over so far (in fully 15 months). According to the odometer it has reached 14.000 km whereas our ConnectedDrive screen indicates that barely 11.300 km. There is a huge difference :? I wonder if this is an...

Dear Art In Turkey our unique importer had established some idiosyncratic treaty with BMW AG implying below specifications: * vehicles possess both 4U7 and 4U8 (fast charge gadget) * vehicles devoid Heat Pump * vehicles devoid Sun Protection Glass etc. ( PS: Here we fortunately are allowed to...

Dear Art, Our i3 unfortunately devoids of heat pump; so, I can never hear the heat pump compressor. :roll: But our parking area under the condo is chilly enough to cool the high voltage battery in an hour. After an hour long journey (=commute) should I connect the i3 to our EVSE or wait...

Hi I really doubt if one should charge his/her i3 just after a journey or wait for a period till the battery gets cool(?) In terms of efficiency which one is more rational? BTW, I am aware of the hint which recommends charging a BEV just before the start of a journey maximises the energy...

For Whoever Is Wondering; I had written to the Borusan Otomotiv's Product Manager of BMWi series (namely, Mr. Gökgöz) last wednesday demanding a written reply which includes the facts of my i3 in terms of "TAKATA airbag issue". Finally I received an undersigned consent indicating that our i3...

Thank you very much, indeed.

Below quoted paragraph is from __ bmwiforum.bmwusa.com __ which was also the second URL link in my first post above. " I talked to BMW's recall center 3 days ago. Some i3's are being recalled due to airbag issues. 'Some' i3's in the production range from mid 2014 to mid 2015 are affected. The...

Hi, I want to learn if any of you had received an official e-mail from BMW officers regarding airbag related potential risk and the replacement of faulty sets. Please visit below URL about this substantial concern...

I really doubt if our Atelier (base) trim level i3 possess such a double choice regarding ambient light ( in other words, MODE MODERN & MODE CLASSIC ). In iDrive menu I tried to find a specific / relevant entry but couldn't succeed. PS: Our i3 lacks this "blue to white interior light change"...

For FWIW, this is a disappointment ALSO here in Turkey. :( :cry: :evil: Our unique country-wide distributer repetedly had already ignored my numerous efforts regarding this issue, unfortunately...
