    Optical dents in door panels

    As i said the "dings" were not caused by fellow parkers but because BMW removed stickers from the panels with a heat gun. This has malformed the plastic panels causing the dents (they don't like heat). And you don't get dings easily on an i3 by fellow parkers because it is plastic, it is...

    Paint quality: Orange peel?

    This is orange peel indeed, my Laurel grey i3 also has "orange peel", it is even worse on the door panels because BMW has painted my door panels (because of dents) again. Anyway, all BMW's have orange peel, on plastic parts it is even worse. Even my 2004 645ci S has orange peel, also worse on...

    Optical dents in door panels

    It has been a while ago since i posted, but BMW has solved my problem of "optical dents" in the door panels. New panels have been installed and painted. The reason of the dents were probably caused because BMW removed the applied stickers (it was a demo car) with a heat gun. This has caused the...

    Unable to code BMW i3 on stepping I001-15-03-501

    Coding the i3

    Well I have PSdZ Data 54.2 and I can't code most of the modules. Do you have the latest software on your BMW i3 & can you still see what you are coding? Maybe you can sent me the missing files?

    Coding the i3

    Unfortunately coding for me has come to an end as the dealer has updated the software to the latest version. This software needs PSdZ Data 55 and it seems that BMW has trimmed the files so you won't be able to see what you are coding. Most modules can't be read with PSdZ 54.3 Data. I hope there...

    Optical dents in door panels

    The color of my i3 is Laurus grey, not aravani. I don't accept it, my car is not lease but bought and I want a car without dents/dimples. I let it rest for now but i'll check more i3 when they come available to see if newer ones have the same issues.

    Optical dents in door panels

    Strange, i made the video with my iphone 6, it is 1080p, you can set this on youtube. I agree it is hard to see if you don't know where to look... I'll see if I can make a video with arrows or something.

    Optical dents in door panels

    I got the i3 back from the dealer. I tried to make pictures but it is impossible to see so I made short videos while moving. You'll see the reflection in the panel bend where the surface is not smooth & it looks like several dents/dimples. Check if your i3 has it aswell. Left side...

    $9.95 i3 Rug Solution

    I have the all weather rug from bmw, expensive but very high quality and great design that fits the i3. Why would you put a cheap rug in such an expensive electric vehicle? I don't get it?

    Optical dents in door panels

    When the i3 is back (it is at the dealer) i'll try to make pictures. The dealer days all i3 have this. It is indeed hard to explain in english.

    Optical dents in door panels

    I noticed there are some dents in de door panels. They are clearly visible when looking for dents the usual way. According to bmw this is normal and a product spec because it is thermo plastic. So i was wondering if more people have this? Can you check your i3? You should see that the surface...

    Anticipated driving tips

    Thanks for your reply Neil. Yes I noticed in the manual that it is not available in all countries, but i noticed the difference when I drove an i8 in the netherlands and it had this information in the display. I'm just wondering how it looks like in the i3... because the display is quite full...
