    BEV E-Motor transmission/differential Oil - change?

    How did you reach the vent hole? Isn’t it sandwiched between the motor and your inverter quite a long ways down?

    i3s with 195/55r20 in all positions

    How does the handling compare to say the ep500s??

    i3s with 195/55r20 in all positions

    Yeah, I am taking the car to the track though, so I’d really want to know for sure that it’s going to be as sticky or stickier. I’m considering the S001 also.

    i3s with 195/55r20 in all positions

    Yeah my concern is that they won’t handle as well. I’d like a lower cost tire that doesn’t trade away performance. I’m looking into the S001s potentially.

    i3s with 195/55r20 in all positions

    I’m running 4 x EP500 with 195mm on each corner. I bought rear rims 20x6” for the front too. I find that the consumption is a bit higher, like 3.2/kWh where I used to get 3.5/kWh. I might try these next. I’m a little concerned about the consumption getting worse though and the handling.

    Base sound upgrade - Match DSP amplifier?

    What year is your i3? You had base audio or HK before the upgrade?

    Transmission oil change on a Rex from 2016 onwards

    I swapped the oil using Pipinos plug. A few things: 1. After 35k miles the oil looked almost new. Don’t really think this is worth it unless you just want to play around for fun. I think the oil is probably fine for 100k plus miles. In any case glad I did it anyway to clear the particles off...

    Reprogram ACC distance buttons to next track and previous track

    Is it possible in coding or even just wiring? Alternatively can memory 1 and memory 2 be programmed to skip tracks?

    Base sound upgrade - Match DSP amplifier?

    Have you guys considered The base stereo between pre LCI and post LCI is night and day. The LCI is about 90% of the HK tbh. It’s just missing mids at ear level and rear speakers tbh. It does some things better than HK, I’d still prefer the HK but after 2019 it got way better.

    Anyone found another tire that fits??

    How did you find 195mm S100s? I can only find 215mm. If they are available, where did you buy them? Would love a set

    Base sound upgrade - Match DSP amplifier?

    Is this an upgrade for the 2019 and newer LCI base sound system also? Or just the pre-LCI? I have an LCI and want to upgrade, but the stereo is already a lot better than the pre-LCI base. I’d want to make sure this is truly an upgrade for the LCI and not just the older cars. Also have you...

    My intro message. BMW i3S is brilliant, but needs big range Solid State battery

    I live in the US too but hit the thermal limit going 70-75mph up into the mountains at times. Which is a bummer because I ski a lot

    My intro message. BMW i3S is brilliant, but needs big range Solid State battery

    So, just saw this thread. I do work in EV charging, specifically V2G and related stuff. Just a few thoughts. Personally, I think the i3 could use a larger battery but also a better cooled motor. It’s a little down on power as is and the cooling is an issue if you’re driving quickly (for...

    Transmission oil change on a Rex from 2016 onwards

    Is that 1/4” OD by 1/8” ID tubing you used? Also you mentioned loctite, do you think that’s necessary? Ordering BOM now.

    Transmission oil change on a Rex from 2016 onwards

    Sent you a message. One other question: I assume you’re using some kind of pump to push the 500ml of liquid in. Is there a lot of loss there? Do you just add a few extra ml and call it good?

    12v battery monitor

    Same issue. I think bmw updated the charging logic and it charges at the last minute, right before departure. It’s annoying

    Transmission oil change on a Rex from 2016 onwards

    Thanks for sharing. So when you pumped it in did you just unscrew it quickly and pop in the drain plug? How did you keep the oil from spilling out?

    Vanity Mirror LED upgrade.

    Contributing to this thread, here’s another light option that’s warm white led instead of bright white/blueish. In the photos it looks yellow but it’s about 3000k and much brighter than stock. https://a.co/d/46CE5B2 In the first three photos the left bulb is replaced with stock on the right...
