    Remarkable end-of-lease buyout offers from BMWFS

    As 2017+ lease contracts near maturity dates, I'm reading reports of fantastic offers from BMWFS to lessees. For lessees 90 days out or less from the end of your contract, what kind of buyout incentives is BMWFS throwing at you? An i3 lessee from Los Angeles reported on the Facebook user group...

    Fluid Black paint to cost $550

    In the first two model years, non-metallic exterior paint was included in the standard base price of the i3. Only metallic hues got the up-charge. Apparently, that "BMW i Blue highlight" by the door sill comes at a premium, or "Fluid" is code for unicorn blood. Photo copyright christophbusse.de

    Underbody oozing orange?

    Anybody seen this before? I noticed it walking up to the car yesterday in bright, late-afternoon light: The local dealer installed a new KLE about two months ago. Perhaps this is sloppy work by the tech buttoning things up? Can't tell if it's foam or plastic and am leery of touching anything...

    “Mobility system” conundrum

    What is the gray object, the one between the tow hook and the wheel-lock key, in the onboard case photo from BMW? At first, I thought it was a screwdriver with a + to indicate Phillips, but the screws in the i3 are all Torx. Maybe it’s a Torx symbol? There is no corresponding part in the...

    A Trip to the Grocery — Worst Range Yet

    Copyright BMW Unfavorable conditions, indeed: an air temperature of 10ºF (–12ºC) and 20 mph to 30 mph winds, with gusts around 45 mph, appears to yield a ~40-mile range. I preconditioned with a departure time set before heading out on the balls-freezing errand.

    Rear fog light: A simple question for non-U.S. i3 drivers

    Which bulb number(s) illuminates after pressing the rear fog button on the light switch? I’m curious how it worked from day one (e.g. no coding). In the U.S., the rear fog switch is omitted from the factory on all BMWs. Retrofitting the euro switch was plug-and-plug on the E46 and E90 BMW...

    OEM fire extinguisher

    We drive sitting atop high-voltage lithium-ion batteries. What could go wrong? (I know, I know. Just get yourself and the baby out, and let it burn.) Part 52100441113 appears to be the whole kit. Anyone know of a vendor who ships 52100441113 to USA...

    i3 Side-Crash Tests or: Seeing How Carbon Flexes Its Muscle

    In this Euro NCAP crash-test video, it’s the relative minimal flex in the roof frame, compared to a traditional steel cage, that is remarkable. Seeing this video helps assuage my fears of injury while sitting in a tub of high-tech CFRP, a material that BMW trumpets as never having been used in a...
