Thanx. So why does the car I bought from the dealer April 16th not have the latest software from March?More than a little annoyed. My dealer service department says it is a 2 day deal. Which is another surprise.

According to this site the latest software update has a SOC display on the BDC. Has anyone tried it yet? Any pictures etc? https://transportevolved.com/2015/05/02/electragirl-one-year-with-my-2014-bmw-i3/

Thanx. Yes it was after a 50 mile REX trip. Not sure how comfortable I am ignoring the error message till it goes away! Is this what everyone else is doing?

Chalk me up to the list. 10 day owner. 50 mile REX trip in cool / rainy weather. Everything went fine. Put it on charge and next morning there was an Drive train error message. Not sure what to do now.

Rats! My car is less than 10 days old. 250 miles on it and I got the drive train issue - See service! Build date 10-08-2015. Appears to have the latest software. Now I'm dreading the run in with the local dealer as I bought mine out of town. Dealer had limited choice! Little disappointed a...

If anyone is interested I finally got my I3. All the doodads and fixin's, except parking package. My dealer was not much help other than way over pricing it. I got it from an out of town dealer for about 7K less than my dealer was quoting,. I feel really guilty for 'cheating' on him but 7k is...

I called and was told the MSRP is $53,000+. This is more than I want to spend, can't bring myself to spend more than $50,000 on a car. End of the day it is just a car after all.... :-) The other thing that surprised me is that this is an out of town dealer and he claims that his state law...

I don't know what the MSRP is because it is not there on the sell sheet. It says market value selling prices. what ever that means. To be fair when I asked about the ding shield they did agree that I can take it off if I don't want it.

OK. I finally located my exact model. 2014 Aravanni Grey, REX, Tera, back up camera, no parking package. The dealer is offering a sale price of $47,657. + Tax, title, $599 doc fee?, $569 ding shield? + $395 perma plate? Can anyone tell me if this is a good price. I thought there was a lot...

OK! - REX - Laurel (will settle for grey) - All leather so Terra I think. Heated seats. - Back up camera (preferred) I really don't need anything else. Really don't want to pay the 2k for the navigation if I can avoid.

Thanx for the reply folks. That is very helpful to know. I buy cars so infrequently the entire thing is mystery to me each time. :) Now to find my car and see if my dealer will get it for me. Like I said earlier I want my local dealer to make some money on the deal.

Thanx for the quick response. 10% -15% would mean a discount of $5000-$7500. Any chance I can get that with a custom order car. I don't want to insult the dealer by making such an offer. I actually don't mind paying bit more to get one from my dealer. If the best deals are for the 2014’s I’ll...

Hi, This is my first post so please bear with me. Interested in the I3 in Midwest. I won't mention city in case dealer is reading this. 8-) After looking at the dealers inventory (which was very limited in options) I might have to go with a custom ordered car. Laurel (black?, Terra leather...
