Yes! Here it is: https://www.mybmwi3.com/threads/best-tires-for-i3.18263/

Mine also went dead few weeks ago. It will be the first battery change of my i3s '18. Five years lifetime is acceptable but I wish there was a warning for replacement before causing any trouble. The car suddenly started to show all kinds of warnings & could not run it for a while... Now I am...

I have also a problem with 12v battery. My i3s is '18 and at 118.000km. It's the first time I have this discharge problem with the 12V battery. In fact, I was totally forgot having one :) Is it a defect, or something I did caused the battery to fail... I don't know. The battery is not in...

I would not bother if I was on your place. Most probably you'll never be in such unfortunate situation again, with your i3. In my case with i3s, I changed all tires to 195/55 R20 to get wider contact area & reduce PSI, I am carrying a 500cl tire repair foam which I did not use yet. If you are...

Back in time, Rex could be a good alternative to have longer mileage & safety for some areas with less charge stations. From now on, in my opinion 120ah should be the way to go. The mileage has doubled since the 1st version of i3, the charge stations are quite increased in number. No need to...

Remove the engine & the fuel tank, have a BEV. Lighter & cleaner :)

Hi everyone, When I bought my 1st i3 in December 2014 there was a mobile app that I could see some parameters of my usage, also some anonymous data of i3 community. After a while local distributor stopped supporting this app somehow... Are you using this kind of app in your region? Are there...

When you remotely unlock the car at night there is this blue ambient light which I wish I could use it while driving! Is there any way to make it happen?

It seems you have pretty much all the necessary info to come to a conclusion :) You know better your year around mileage, where do you drive most of the time -well maintained big city roads or narrow village roads in Scotland/Wales- etc. The city I live is Istanbul, Turkey. It has a warmer...

I cannot give clearance amount in numbers, but I can say I used the summer tires for 40k miles in different road characteristics, more importantly I passed through thousands of speed bumps without any tire rubbing. Some speed bumps that I failed to see on time proved me there is full clearance...

Hi Shoei600, Are you sure that your rear tires are 195/55? They should be 195/50. You don't need any spacers for 195/55R20 tires for stock 20" i3 rims. The clearance is fully safe for all 4 wheels. I had a set of 19" rims with 155 winter tires on my '14 i3; those rims needed 10mm spacers to...

Very rare & unfortunate.

At home I'm using only 220AC portable charger, occasionally. I've mounted a BMW 7.2kW charger at work's garage. I am sharing this charger with a Zoe. Usually I do about 80km per day & only charge my i3s at work. After 5.5 yrs & 116.000 kms the battery health seems to be quite good.

Are you talking about this, by chance? This is form a 2018 i3s BEV.

Hi, which type of rims you have for summer tires? In case of you have 20" rims, I would strongly suggest to consider 195/55 R20 winter tires. Perfectly fits to i3s 20" rims & immense handling difference between 155s & these. Only 3% loss in total mileage at full charge. Much longer tire life...
