A little update on the all weather mats offered by BMW: I have had the mats for about 2 weeks now. I have washed them several times attempting to remove whatever "tackiness" causes them to stain so bad. They are no better. Wait for 3rd party accessories if you are looking to purchase mats...

lol. Much to my surprise when I came back to read up on the thread I started. "What are they talking about?!" I posted an update as to what was presumably wrong with my REX. :)

Hi everybody, A little update on my REX. It was in BMW service from July 31st to August 8th for the following: 1) Taking 6 hours to charge vs. 3 hours. 2) Unable to connect to DC Fast Charger. 3) Received control error message "Increased battery discharge." After a week of "we don't know" and...

On another note. I've noticed some posters say that they hear their REX while the vehicle is stopped. Mine shuts off at stop lights and anytime the car is stationary so I could not hear it at all. You go back to peaceful silence which is nice!

I'm a REX owner also. I agree with most of the posts. I had the opportunity to hear my REX run. I literally was rolling down the windows and straining to hear it. While I was traveling on the highway at highway speeds, I could not even hear it. Once I slowed down to about less than 30 mph it was...

My car went into service on July 31st. It will be there through the beginning of the week. The service advisor and their engineer do not know what is wrong with it yet. They are "in contact with BMW." Well, I had it for 2 days and it is already in the shop! Off to a rough start. I will provide...

In response to your post: 1. I was not referring to the time in the dash. I was referring to the actual time. The car took a total of over 6 hours to charge on a 220/240v Level 2 charger pushing out 22kwh. 2. The car is set to Maximum charge setting (see thread title ;) ) 3. There is no...

I agree with stumbledotcom's post. My car is MegaWorld and it illuminates blue initially after unlocking the car or when plugging in the charger if the car has been idle (not sure how long it takes to trigger it - we have played with it). But it is quite fascinating to look at. Very lovely! ;)

Anybody else have trouble signing up with ChargeNow? I tried to sign up online multiple times. The first couple of times, I received emails back saying that they did not get my credit card information (which I submitted correctly). So, I decided to call. I ended up with a phone rep that hardly...

You are not alone in the Mega World. I usually choose the top of everything but I fancied the gray with darker accents over the bamboo wood accents. I prefer the look of the gray with the white exterior and blue accents. It looks much sharper to me. It looks nicer than the Giga/Tera in my...

I was pleasantly surprised at the volume of the REX when it finally came on! It wasn't as long as I anticipated after watching videos like these. It was like a low hum at highway speeds. Not even audible with music playing. Of course, it seems more apparent at lower speeds but then it turns off...

Awesome! I was wondering about that. We were thinking about how annoying it must be to constantly see the brake lights on. "Over-aggressive breaker syndrome." But, that is great that it does show them but not all the time. Great job with the video! Thanks for sharing! :)

Wow. That is so frustrating! I almost placed my order with Crevier BMW in April 2014 but they told me that I would not get a car until the end of the year. I laughed and drove over to Irvine BMW who told me they could get me a car in 2-3 months. They did not fail. I placed my order mid April and...

I picked my Capparis White ReX/Mega World up on Monday, July 28th. It had 13 miles on the odomoter. My salesman had the car in the back so "no one would touch it." I wouldn't think your salesman would use your car as a test car if it is already sold. Nothing to stop the staff from driving it...

I'm in the Los Angeles area. Common problem, huh? Hopefully there is some sort of appropriate diagnostics for it or a fix. It goes in for service today. Both DC Fast Charging not working and increased charge time are both a problem? Yikes.

I have the All Weather Mats and they dirty far too quickly. I hope that they will not dirty as often as another poster said once they lose their 'tackiness.' I was very disappointed to see footprints after driving home with them from the dealer. I don't think they were worth the expense. The car...

Anyone purchase the All Weather Mats, yet? I just did today. I can't say I am wild about them. They are very plastic-y feeling. You would also think that the front piece would be one piece but it is two so you get this awkward break in the mat between the middle console and the passenger side. I...

I've had my i3 Rex for 2 days now. I've noticed that it is taking way too long to charge. The first issue I had with it is, I took it to a DC Fast Charger station and the charger would never connect to the car. Today, I was trying to play catch up on charging and plugged it into the Level 2...
