    Aftermarket Wheels

    I got the Mak Watt for summer wheels, use the dustbin lids for winter. http://www.makwheels.it/en-ww/watt.aspx#!/ Might be expensive to ship to states though. Also Rial X10-i, which is the one tire rack sell. There is another but I can't find it now

    Cold (cool?) weather performance

    I agree, I'm getting 60 miles now on a BEV without heat pump, which is 10 less than the summer, I only got 80 miles when I was ambling around.... Was getting 4.0 mi/kwh summer, now about 3.5.

    Free gift from BMW UK

    No problem, I got the winter tyres off ebay and they're fitted to my std (427) wheels, got them for about £100 each. If I can find some nicer wheels for summer use I'll get some in the spring and fit my summer tyres to them but there aren't many about second hand. I've got my eye on the Mak Watt...

    Free gift from BMW UK

    My wife attempted an 80 mile motorway journey without my knowledge.... When she was 15 miles from home she phoned to say that there was only 5 miles range left, I told her to switch to ecopro+ and slow right down but it was too late, if she'd done that earlier she would have made it. She got...

    I got the present too. :D We got the wine and chocs last week, same reason, been to the garage twice. Ours has only been back once though, although it was once recovered when my wife ran out of charge...... How we laughed at our stupidity as we enjoyed the wine and chocolates. :lol:

    Weird messages on sat nav

    My i3's been faultless to date but today did something weird... On the sat nav screen the words comfort, ecopro and ecopro+ appeared on the map as if they were places! Next time time it happens I may go to one of them and see what's there! Anybody else seen this?

    More aftermarket wheels

    Tom, be good to see some pics, assuming you've gone for black? I'm thinking of getting a set for summer and using my dustbin lid 427s for winter. Did you buy the TPMS sensors as part of a package? Paul

    Skinny Tyres=Good Grip?

    I can confirm that the i3 is awesome in heavy rain conditions, was caught in a very heavy downpour on the M4 yesterday and the tyres cut through approx. 4 inches of water with no problem, at 50mph! The car doesn't pull towards the kerb in puddles like most cars I've owned too I do find the...

    Resonant noise

    Mine had a similar noise, found all four tyres had dropped in pressure due to colder temperatures, pumped them up to four persons pressure and it drives a lot better and is quieter. Not the first car I've had that likes hard tyres!!
