    how many with zero i3 problems?

    Same thing here in Virginia except the weather has ranged from 50F to 80F. My i3 REx has been perfect since delivery on August 11! I have driven the car about 1200 miles including a one-day 215 mile round trip out to the Blue Ridge mountains to pick apples.

    Gap insurance & Owners Choice

    I purchased gap insurance for $899 from my dealer for the Owner's Choice w/Flex, 60mos, 12k per year plan. I traded in a car and rolled negative equity, unfortunately, so I had no choice but to buy it.

    New i3 owner from Virginia

    DAZ, congratulations! I also live in the Richmond area (Short Pump) and picked up my i3 REx (pre-ordered) on August 11 from the dealer on West Broad :D. My i3 is Solar Orange, REx, Giga World, Technology and DA package, heated seats. I have about 925 miles on it so far and took a 215-mile...

    Advice on what options to purchase

    I just bought my REx about 3 weeks ago after waiting more than 6 months and love it. Solar Orange with Giga World, Tech/DA pkg, and heated seats. Only have <350 miles on it! Also have Nissan LEAF with almost 16,000 miles. Other colors I like: Ionic Silver (2nd choice), Capparis White (3rd...

    Drive away without key

    Here in the USA, with the key in pocket the car (if turned on) turns off as soon as you open the door, even if you're in Park with the parking brake engaged. Annoying when having to move cars around in my (short and narrow) driveway! Have to hit Start/Stop again with foot on brake. The LEAF...

    Unpublished special lease offer!

    I was able to do it here in Virginia with the OCwF, 12k miles/yr, 60 months. My dealer claimed to have only one "voucher". The residual went from 27% to 34% in my case....~$3,600 higher based on the MSRP of my REx. As far as I know it worked as I took delivery last Monday and have 156 miles...

    Do you have an i3 on order and awaiting delivery?

    I just picked up my REx on Monday after waiting 6 1/2 months! :mrgreen: It was awesome driving home from the dealership (~5 miles in the suburbs with a few stop lights) without using the mechanical brakes :D

    US - Bosch Home Installation Issues

    I ordered this same charger from Amazon on Saturday! Got it for $554 total including Virginia sales tax, free shipping from Amazon, and using a $50 gift card that I had lying around the house. An electrician friend that I know is going to help me with installation as soon as the charger gets here.

    BMW has $1,000 reasons to say “Thank you”

    I got the email last night about the $1,000 off! However, it is based on a BMW drive event coming up at a dealer 100 miles away next weekend Aug 15-16. I have not yet received one for the i3 drive event (I drove it at both local dealers, actually - both different dealers than above mentioned...

    I managed to get a discount on the BMW i3...

    Final discount for me will be close to $5k. I got the 7% residual increase "voucher" plus $1,000 off plus a set of Tera World mats (anthracite)....and hopefully the trunk mat/box also. Taking delivery of my REx on Monday!

    Unpublished special lease offer!

    Good deal! I am doing the OC w/ Flex option 60 months/12k per year as it makes my payment much lower than a lease.

    Black floor mats

    Today I got my dealer to throw in the Tera World (anthracite) floor mats for free as I am taking delivery of my Giga i3 tomorrow or Monday.

    BMW just raised the lease/OC residuals 7%

    I got the same deal today! But.....from what I understand this a very limited (quantity) offer only available in some markets :o . I just happened to be in the right place at the right time, I think. As of this morning, it was a "voucher" given by BMW corporate.

    Unpublished special lease offer!

    I am also taking advantage of this offer in my area. Sealed the deal today as my REx arrived last Friday 8/1! I was sworn to secrecy :lol: but I can say the offer is definitely "limited" and valid on both leases and OC/OCwF ;).

    BMW has $1,000 reasons to say “Thank you”

    When did you get the email? I am about to take delivery of my REx! I attended the drive events for the i3 at both of my local dealers.
