I bought the 427 wheel set last fall - they got me through the last winter here in Michigan without major issues. Will put them on by mid-November and do recommend them for any i3 drivers in areas with snowy winters.

After owning my i3 REX for 10 months, 7100 miles, and with its first winter season completed I say: YES, most definitely. Great car.

I may have the opportunity to try this out tomorrow or within the coming days and will keep you posted.

Yes I had traction control on.

Snow has arrived abundantly here in Michigan - and I finally got stuck for the first time with my i3! I have the winter tire set on the car and had no issues so far driving on icy roads and through moderate snow. Luckily I got stuck very close to my house in a residential street, in roughly 6...

SnowFro, I totally agree. I have now driven a little over a 1000 miles in my REX and it is such a great car - both in electric and in gas mode. Had the REX come on the other day on the interstate at higher speed and it is really seamless, did not experience any loss in torque or in speed, and...

Last week I had my update done here at my dealership in Michigan and everything went very smoothly. They had my car for 3 days while I was traveling but were completely done after 2 days. It was their first I3 software update that they had performed and when I dropped off the car they were very...

I have driven my I3 REX now exactly for 600 mostly electric miles. In mixed suburban driving here in the Metro Detroit area (on and off interstates and express ways) I got so far 70-90 miles on one charge. Speed has indeed an influence on the range, in addition to heavier AC use and transported...

In Michigan I pay $687 for 6 months with AAA, for the I3 REX.

Just came back from my first longer road trip. Gladly the I3 did not let me down. After 91 miles in electric, mostly in Eco Plus mode, range extender kicked in smoothly, at 4 miles left in the battery. Felt somewhat nervous that it would not come on at all... Check engine light came on as soon...

Just initialized the remote I3 app - everything went smoothly and the app started operating instantly. Now planning a longer trip - let's see whether the REX works and whether the CEL comes on or not.

I have fused the PowerXpress to 30A and it does not trip the circuit breaker while. My installation was done by a certified electrician and also got approval from the local code enforcement officer. I do not believe that there is any violation or risk whatsoever and really can recommend the use...

I am using the BOSCH PowerXpress charger with my I3 - at 30A and on a 30A line. Works perfect and pretty fast. I have selected "high" charging rate in the car's charging menu.

I am using a BOSCH PowerXpress with a 30A plug and fused accordingly. You can run it at several power levels, I run it at 30A.

After 6 long months of waiting, I just took delivery of my I3 REX from ERHARD BMW here in Farmington Hills. It is one of the first I3s in Michigan which makes driving it even more fun. I have owned several BMWs but it is the first time that I am a "launch customer", especially for a car...
