Sorry to hear about all of your troubles and the expense. In the US, we can turn the GPS on and off in one of the menus, so maybe no additional trip to the dealer will be required. Good luck.

Does anyone know if it has been confirmed that there will indeed be a 2020 BMW i3 for the US market?

Thanks very much for all of your helpful information Art. I was told that my 2018 i3 runs the EVO Map Type that comes with 3 free years of over the air regional map updates. The 2018's also come with a 3 year FSC code from the factory. The current version of the EVO map is 2018-4 and there are 4...

Thanks for the reply Art and for the information. Can I ask you where you got the files to do the update? Did you download them onto a USB or did you purchase a USB? Thank you.

BMW i3 Nav Map Update. Can someone please tell me the current update for the national maps (2018 or 2019) and for the regional maps for CA (2018-2)? Is anyone receiving OTA updates for their regional maps on their 2018 i3? Thank you.

I was looking for a gift to buy my i3 and I was wondering if anyone has found a reasonably priced set of metal covers for the brake, accelerator, and the foot rest? Thank you.

Here is the short answer and if you have further questions please contact me. There was an option for Apple Play on the 2018 and if you ordered it you would have in your car. There is indeed an OTA update on the 2018's, but it does not always work. It is only a regional update for the maps, not...

Try unclicking "charge immediately." Good luck.

Sorry for the typo. That should be 2017-4.

Thanks for the replies. I still have 12-4 version of the maps and I was wondering if anyone can confirm that they have actually received an over the air update in their i3? Thanks again.

I need clarification please. When I called BMW and asked them about my 2018 i3, they told me that the map update for the Navigation system is done over the air. Does this make any sense? Thank you.

I am turning in my 2014 i3 and I have a pair of Carbon Fiber Mirror Covers and High Beam and Blinker LED's for sale on eBay. Please search for "shrink13." Thank you.

Thank you very much for your suggestion. I will give it a try. Happy holidays.

I live in the SF Bay area and my 2014 i3 lease has ended. Does anyone have experience in leasing the new 2018 i3 BEV Sport? I am interested in a fully loaded car with all the bells and whistles. The best deal so far is $2,500 down and $551 per month for 36 months. There do not seem to be any...

Intensive psychotherapy or immediate psychiatric hospitalization with psych meds. Or order the new BMW i3s when it becomes available. Good luck!
