    Software update / Mileage improvement

    Nothing scientific but it seems like I have close to a ten percent improvement on mileage per charge. I had my rex in for a CEL. They updated the software and when i picked the car up it was fully charged and indicated an electric range of 72 miles in comfort mode while before the update it...

    BMW I3 -Most Dangerious Steering Of Any Car I've Owned!

    "Show me the money" Rod Tidwell - Jerry Maguire You say "Red my lips - and re-read my posts, they are 100% factual nothing but pure facts every single word. " As I asked before show us "where a spokesmen or executive from BMWNA said that there have been numerous complaints." So you...

    BMW I3 -Most Dangerious Steering Of Any Car I've Owned!

    Must be a different group of idiots that attributes BMW with this baloney "Read my Lips! Its Broken - even BMW admits there have been numerous complaints." Show us where a spokesmen or executive from BMWNA said that there have been numerous complaints. Truly, why do you have this car if you...

    Jinma JMW2200 is a Chinese BMW i3 knockoff

    I am ready to order one. Goes as far on a charge as my i3 and 10% of the price. Pinch me I am so excited.

    How many miles do you have on your i3?

    I currently have only 600 miles on my rex though I am already a huge advocate. Two days after delivery I downloaded the dvdinmotion software (basically I waited until this was available before getting my i3). I tried hold mode out initially and after finding it worked well I concluded the rex...

    I think I hate my i3 Rex...

    I am leasing and so perhaps it is a roll of the dice. I have read many discussions and the preponderance of the remarks that I have read are that the laws favor and protect the consumer. I would not have gotten the car without it. When I tried it out I was mostly within the city so a good...

    I think I hate my i3 Rex...

    I wasn't going to reply when I read your second post though subsequent posts established a bit more empathy and understanding. I frankly had a a similar experience to yours as well as others with charging. Like you I read everything google would find and then some. I was able to take a three...

    Has regen been reduced

    Please note when I started this thread I pointed out that I live in San Francisco. Nearly every day I am driving down a section of Filbert that is a 31.5% slope and other streets that are nearly as steep. I would not expect regen to stop the car on those hills. Just a thought though would it...

    20 months to a 200mi range i3

    The i3 is truly "The Ultimate (city) Driving Machine". I just traded what had been my favorite day to day car, a 135i 6M, for a new i3 rex and could not be more pleased. The car's compact proportions, low CG, and relatively low weight make it the perfect machine for getting around San...

    Has regen been reduced

    When I did the first i3 test drive a year ago in a BEV version I was impressed with the ease of one pedal driving. A few weeks ago when I did a three day test in a REX version it felt like I was getting a fair bit less braking from lifting off the accelerator. While some of this may be...

    Emergency fuel can for frunk

    I am not keen on carrying gas in an extra tank and really would not want to be toting an "empty" gas fume filled tank (thinking boom). That being said I would love to capture that extra half gallon that is already on board. I have the rex hold function working and for now that may have to...

    Self-parking: useful or gimmick?

    I have only had my car a week so I've only tried it twice. The first time it was halfway into the space and some idiot jay walked and walked right into the path the car was going. The car was smarter than her and stopped itself. The second time it went perfectly and put each wheel an inch...

    Hold charge function

    I took delivery a couple of days ago and I am truly pleased with my i3 REX. The pure electric range will get me around in my daily driving without issue. That being said on a weekend where I need to travel a bit without the ability to recharge then engaging the REX at 75% is essential...
