I have that one and it does a good job. Mine took so long to arrive that I had forgotten about it. It came direct from somewhere in Spain with no sender’s name or product information. It it fits well so I’m happy with it.

I know how to select the information I’d like to see on the display, but I don’t know how to keep it there. Sometimes the temperature will stay selected for several days, and other times it gets reset randomly, or so it seems.

Which reminds me of a related problem. I like to see the outside temperature on the driver’s display, but randomly it gets reset to something else, often it’s the time of day. Is this normal?

I felt the same with my 2018 i3 Rex lease. I really only used the REX once. When the lease was up I traded the REX for a 2021 BEV lease, and paid that off this January when the lease expired, so now it’s mine. One thing that convinced me to drop the REX was learning that the BEV had heat pump...

FYI Re: towing - I have AAA but I discovered that my insurance also provides it with slightly different limits. Because of the distance one would only tow me to my house, then I used the other to tow me to the dealership. This info might help someone else.

A BEV without the heat pump, which would occupy the space where the gas tank was.

SOC = State Of Charge?

I'm not disagreeing with your statement about 20” tires, but I have 19’s and wonder what makes the 20’s more fun. I didn't choose them because of the harder ride and the cost. Also, if one were to switch from 19’s to 20’s how can the speedometer and odometer be kept accurate?

I tried several devices, mostly ones that used a cup holder. But after I bought an iPhone 15 I decided to look for one with wireless charging and settled on this one from Baseus: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BNM9CH4Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It grabs the phone...

My 2018 i3 was also quiet, but when I got my 2021 i3 it surprised me when I first heard it. I understand the importance of alerting pedestrians but I wish that I didn't have to hear the simulated engine sounds inside the car. Fortunately I've gotten used to it.

I'm now the owner of the 2021 i3 that I leased for three years. Before that I leased a 2018 i3 Rex. Also, I'll be 83 tomorrow and have never purchased a car with an automatic transmission in my life, but electric cars with “one pedal driving” come close to the stick shift feeling that I've...

I'm driving the 2021 i3 that I originally leased and now own, and I don't see the issue with the car turning “off” when I stop to get the mail out of my mailbox, etc. I'll pay closer attention to that today.

It's the same with my 2018 Rex and now my 2021 i3. As long as the fob is in my pocket all doors unlock automatically.

I've been an i3 owner for over six years (2018 Rex followed by a 2021 regular) and have always used a 20 amp 120 volt circuit for charging at home overnight. The few times that the battery was below 40% it took about 12 hours, but usually it took fewer hours for a full charge. I'm retired and...

I had a 67 Corvette Stingray which I treasured, but a 67 i3 would be even more valuable. ㋡ Sorry, you probably meant a 2017 i3. Perhaps mainsheds could pay a local BMW dealer to do a presale evaluation of the i3 for him.
