Just wanted to update the thread and say that I sold the BMW i3 at a loss and no longer have it. Final offer from BMW was 50% of the 25,000 dollar repair bill at a reducer labor rate coming to 11,200 or so. Easily not worth it and not worth my time to fight BMW. Extremely disappointed with BMW...

First of all thank you everyone for your feedback, and I hope I am not hijacking this thread. Understandable, but after 34,000 Miles? I've had the car for a year and a half. A failure of this magnitude this soon is completely unacceptable for a car. I went to the dealer today and talked to...

It is a small percentage but I think it's big enough for it to be an issue and reason to stay away from this car. I've read way too many "AC compressor" failure stories online for a car that sold 6-10k a year and is driven less than other cars. Many of these stories I've read the issue was...

I'm ok with paying for repairs, even with the 5K if thats the end of it, but I'm sure they'll find more damage based on what im reading online and I'm sure by the end of it it will be totaled in repairs. And it's not acceptable to me to replace the part with the same exact part if failure is...

2015 BMW i3 BEV. 34,000 Miles, got it at 17,000 miles 18 months ago. Approximately two months ago I noticed a humming noise coming from the underside of the car. It starts to become noticeable around 25-30 and ramps up but once you go past 30mph it is a constant volume level. Approximately one...

Hey Guys, just to chime in my car has what seems like the same problem. It's in BMW service right now and they are still diagnosing but it doesn't look good. Last I heard the AC compressor wasn't working and they're going to check everything for damage and to make sure nothing else is broken...

Hey. So I just got them installed today. One place quoted me like $600+ Another flat out refused to work on it. Third place I went to finally was willing to install at after contacting BMW and some other audio specialists. It sounds absolutely amazing, the acoustics in this car are 10/10...

Bought the kicker comp R 12" dual sub enclosure and an alpine 500w RMS amp. Going to get it wired up next weekend most likely, but in the meantime it looks great and fits perfectly in the trunk (albeit there is absolutely no space for anything else but I'm perfectly fine with this.) You do...

As someone who has gone VERY fast on a motorcycle with a SENA headset held on ONLY by adhesive on the side of my helmet, I can vouch 100% that some strong 3M double sided tape will definitely work for holding the license plate on. (Way less drag, more surface area for adhesive, much lighter...

Hey guys, Put a deposit on a 2015 i3 BEV and I'm going to pick it up from the dealer on friday. First thing I want to do is install some subwoofers and I don't see much on the internet about this. I was looking at the Kicker CompR dual 12" subwoofer enclosure and the Kicker CX1200.1 Amp, so...
