Thank you Alex. So I can ask my dealer to have it retrofitted in my 2014 i3? Will it be touchscreen?

I assume CarPlay cannot be retrofitted into an older/used i3, but can it be ordered now with a new i3? Thanks.

I have a 60Ah REX. 150 miles is exactly the round trip distance to my weekend get away. I can't charge the car while I'm there. 80% of the trip is on a highway, where I drive at around 70-75 mph. Most of the time I drive in decent weather (around 65-70 deg. F). Well, I *always*...

I have noticed an increased range of about 15% post-November update ! I am thrilled with it ! That 15% figure is not based on range calculations/estimates, but on actual miles driven. Temperature was about the same pre and post November update.. I'm not sure what the existing software...

I updated my i3 here in Spain to the latest version two weeks ago, but the plug is still locked even after the car is fully charged! I know I have the latest version because when I leave the charge port door open and start the car, I get the new warning notice. Is there a setting I need to...

Two days ago, after driving 70 continuous miles on my REX purely on gas (didn't have a choice) I got a 'drivetrain malfunction' message on the screen. The message stated something like 'you can continue driving but please take car for service'. Too bad there's no more specific information...

I'm afraid I might also be loosing battery range after only 6 months and 4,000km / 2,500 miles travelled. Since I purchased my i3 BEV back in May, I make a weekly round trip to a town that is exactly 50 km/31miles away. 80% of the driving is on a highway at an average speed of 120 km/h /...

oooops, I forgot that opening the charging door requires the car to be unlocked! thank you. In any case, I'm still curious about all my other questions in case I decide to leave my car unlocked on my next trip (car is safe in private parking).

My i3 REX (US) has been unplugged and unused for two months now as I spend six months a year at a time abroad. Question: how long does the battery take to deplete? will it last six months? Since I have the REX version and the tank is full, is the question irrelevant as the car will start...

+1. It's ridiculous BMW didn't include a sliding visor. Big nuisance for me mornings and evenings. Boo!

Absolutely - I would say the difference in acceleration is predominantly in the 0-15mph range.

I spend about 50% of my time in Europe and the other half in the USA. After purchasing the BEV in Europe a couple of months ago and loving my i3, I took the plunge last week and purchased another i3 in the USA, except this time I purchased the REx. The first very noticeable difference I...

I heard the new green HOV will be approved in the next few months. I receive my REX in California next month Does anyone know if the stickers will be issued retroactively after the law passes?

I agree. The i3 is very sensitive to wind - I very much notice this when driving on the highway.

I finally got my i3 BEV this week... very excited! I was very curious to see whether the battery would manage a roundtrip I make to a nearby city every once in a while (btw, I'm in Spain). My destination in that city is exactly 50 km away (31miles) from home, and most of the drive there is...
