I wound up switching to Mercury. I tried GEICO when I first got the i3 and their rates were much higher that esurance.

Until the i3, I owned my cars. When I did the lease a year ago (30 month term), I was working from home with a daily commute under 5 miles to take my daughter to daycare. Now, 12 months in, I'm probably heading back to an office where the daily commute is around 30 round trip. I'll obviously...

It seems to be a cyclical event. I had times last year where the app would log me out daily and I've had stretches where the app doesn't logout for months. Used an iPhone 6 for most of the year; switched to the 6s in November. Out of curiosity, what would a BMW dealership do with the phone?

Has anyone dipped their toes into the new Labs widget? Activated it yesterday and I'm not totally sold on the implementation and usefulness as it is. Main problem seems that the widget has to be selected in the split-screen for everything to kick in. This leads to a delay on start up (which is...

Have people been seeing increases in their insurance rates? My premium just jumped over $200 and the reason esurance gave is a recalculation for the replacement cost. Wondering if others have seen a similar change when renewing.

Thanks for the link. Large knowledge gap to fill in to get a clear understanding of the posts, but information is king.

I'm looking to go solar with either a purchase or PPA (which would essentially turn into a purchase down the line) and I'm trying to understand the differences in these companies and panels. Using the estimates of several companies, the basic outline is to get a system sized at approximately...

Just moved to a new home and need to get my EVSE wired. The panel is ready to accept the circuit; main cost is running the wire, which has been estimated at 240' (panel is on the back of the house and the wire has to run along the exterior and dropped 1 story before reaching the garage). I got a...

Which rack did you purchase? I didn't see one that's designed for the i3.

Anyone tried to improve the base audio system? It's my own fault for not researching before taking the car and in hindsight would've gotten HK, but I gave too much credit to BMW that the base audio would've been better. Also, on a lease, so I'm not looking to redo the interior. Just hoping...

I'd had XM since 2005, starting with a Honda Accord then transferring to my X3 in 2012. I dropped it earlier this year after I switched mobile service because I didn't see the value in it anymore. Between OTA radio and streaming on my phone, I can hear what I want and I didn't have a compelling...

I see that when HD radio isn't enabled. If the radio just picks up the standard signal, the text seems to be random. In my experience, switching on HD ensures that the call letters are displayed.

Haven't had any problems yet, but I have a habit, for as long as I've been driving, of taking speed bumps on one side of the car. I've heard a little noise and felt a small vibration when the back wheel comes off the bump, but wasn't sure I was causing any damage. Guess I'll be sure to take the...

For the Southern California residents: I see EV parking is available at LAX. Anyone used it? Is it available for long term parking?

Just received #66689. Took them about a month exactly to process.
