Nothing scientific but it seems like I have close to a ten percent improvement on mileage per charge. I had my rex in for a CEL. They updated the software and when i picked the car up it was fully charged and indicated an electric range of 72 miles in comfort mode while before the update it...

"Show me the money" Rod Tidwell - Jerry Maguire You say "Red my lips - and re-read my posts, they are 100% factual nothing but pure facts every single word. " As I asked before show us "where a spokesmen or executive from BMWNA said that there have been numerous complaints." So you...

Must be a different group of idiots that attributes BMW with this baloney "Read my Lips! Its Broken - even BMW admits there have been numerous complaints." Show us where a spokesmen or executive from BMWNA said that there have been numerous complaints. Truly, why do you have this car if you...

I am ready to order one. Goes as far on a charge as my i3 and 10% of the price. Pinch me I am so excited.

I currently have only 600 miles on my rex though I am already a huge advocate. Two days after delivery I downloaded the dvdinmotion software (basically I waited until this was available before getting my i3). I tried hold mode out initially and after finding it worked well I concluded the rex...

I am leasing and so perhaps it is a roll of the dice. I have read many discussions and the preponderance of the remarks that I have read are that the laws favor and protect the consumer. I would not have gotten the car without it. When I tried it out I was mostly within the city so a good...

I wasn't going to reply when I read your second post though subsequent posts established a bit more empathy and understanding. I frankly had a a similar experience to yours as well as others with charging. Like you I read everything google would find and then some. I was able to take a three...

Hey, reformat it and load DVD in Motion rex hold unlocking software.

Please note when I started this thread I pointed out that I live in San Francisco. Nearly every day I am driving down a section of Filbert that is a 31.5% slope and other streets that are nearly as steep. I would not expect regen to stop the car on those hills. Just a thought though would it...

The i3 is truly "The Ultimate (city) Driving Machine". I just traded what had been my favorite day to day car, a 135i 6M, for a new i3 rex and could not be more pleased. The car's compact proportions, low CG, and relatively low weight make it the perfect machine for getting around San...

When I did the first i3 test drive a year ago in a BEV version I was impressed with the ease of one pedal driving. A few weeks ago when I did a three day test in a REX version it felt like I was getting a fair bit less braking from lifting off the accelerator. While some of this may be...

I am not keen on carrying gas in an extra tank and really would not want to be toting an "empty" gas fume filled tank (thinking boom). That being said I would love to capture that extra half gallon that is already on board. I have the rex hold function working and for now that may have to...

I have only had my car a week so I've only tried it twice. The first time it was halfway into the space and some idiot jay walked and walked right into the path the car was going. The car was smarter than her and stopped itself. The second time it went perfectly and put each wheel an inch...

I took delivery a couple of days ago and I am truly pleased with my i3 REX. The pure electric range will get me around in my daily driving without issue. That being said on a weekend where I need to travel a bit without the ability to recharge then engaging the REX at 75% is essential...

This copied from a post on Bimmerpost: The center of gravity figures are public, published in official BMW press releases. So: i3: 18.5" 3-series sedan: 20.0" 4-series coupe: 19.6" Other cars: Toyota FT-86 / Subaru BRZ / Scion FR-S: 18.1" Tesla S: 17.5" Lexus LFA: 17.7" Porsche 911 GT3: 17.9"

Hi all, I am very impressed by the technology that has been incorporated in the i3 and the result is a vehicle with impressive driving dynamics. With all the experts on this forum I am wondering if any have center of gravity data in the i3 and perhaps how that stacks up with a 3 series BMW or...

You probably have a good point regarding reprogramming after forthcoming updates. I would be less concerned about getting penalized. That said I can imagine BMW making changes that preclude owners from accessing this switch or removing it altogether from the software on USA bound vehicles. I...

I recently read on the BMW BLOG about an owner that utilized the OBD II connection and available software to change the settings to the European "Enable REx Hold option". With the REx engaged at 75% SOC he was able to drive from the (San Francisco) Bay Area over Donner Summit to Lake Tahoe. This...

I also noted in their testing they clocked 0-60 mph in 6.5 seconds. GJ
