I believe, the white acoustic insulation material is "Thinsulate" by 3M.

I wonder if anybody has tried 195/70/17 tires. Fitted on 7.5x17" rims they should work on i3S (with fender flares). ET about 20 mm (or larger with spacers). I'm looking for more comfortable ride.

I use a 3 phase 11 kW AC charger that is connected to wifi. I can start and stop charging with my phone. I can also adjust the timer (start/stop) and the current settings remotely. The most valuable feature to me is the capability to determine the amount or "dosage" of charge in kWh. You very...

But more so on 60 Ah packs? (Compared to 120 Ah)

On a Chech forum they wrote that the max. voltage of the 60 Ah battery is 392 V while the 120 Ah battery is 402 V. The 60 Ah i3 software didn't accept the higher voltage of the replacement battery (120 Ah) as such. This would mean that the cell voltages are about 4.08 V vs. 4.19 V. ? And that...

I bought mine from here: https://www.hubauer-shop.de/en/carparts/i-models-parts-catalog/i3-meg/8p81-i01n-xb4/8p81-51-vehicle/8p81-519279-blende-/

I agree. The dark Oak looks great. I've done the same. I was able to order a used set from Norway.

I'm interested in 40 kWh battery. But since Finland is quite far away from Maryland, this may not be feasible. How does your chemistry differ from SDI in terms of degradation when driven and charged in -15 (Celsius) temperatures during winter months?

Great! :)

I've been wondering how important it really is not to charge the battery full in order to minimize degradation. According to another thread, the max. voltage of the 60 Ah battery is 392 V while the 120 Ah battery has 402 V. This means that the cell voltages are about 4.08 V vs. 4.19 V. The...

I installed this kit. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cobra-F0394-Car-Front-Parking-Sensor-Kit-4-Way-17mm-Diameter-Totally-Flush-Mount/122760168695?epid=1942837876&hash=item1c951384f7:g:6OoAAOSwTbRd03ZU As I wrote earlier, I had to modify the original BMW switch and add a delay relay in between...

I installed an aftermarket system and used the original BMW switch for it (bought used from ebay). I had to modify the switch and use a delay relay in between but I'm quite satisfied with the result. The front PDC doesn't show up on my screen but it has a beeper to indicate the distance.

There are similar kits for sale on ebay, aliexpress and amazon. I bought one like this but it also included separate leds to illuminate the footwells. For doorpockets, I combined a light source of this kit with a clear plastic piece (original BMW part) that distributes the light inside the...

I find it very difficult to capture the correct shade on a photo. This is closer but the actual light is sharper and deeper blue. Or would this be a better Christmas lighting? ;)

I couldn't figure out how to install these flares without cutting the fender. The overlap is so obvious. The original i3S fenders are cut in the same way. At first, my plan was to use adhesive instead of screws. But the adhesive should be suitable for this kind of plastic and I don't know how...
