    Heated seat question

    Okay, one thing I really loved about my now Ex-Buick Enclave was that you could turn on the rear of the seat heater separately from the bottom seat heater. I have some weird nerve damage and after a short time, even on low, the bottom seat heater is too uncomfortable for me. I would however...

    My experience between 49 degree and 75 degree 90 mile trip

    For what it's worth, I've been looking forward to this one trip I make about every 2 months that's 90 miles round trip. I use my i3 for almost all urban commuting so rarely need my rex. I've been very curious about what the weather would do for range hit. Although the 49 degrees is fairly above...

    How do you get the circular radio dial back on?

    A few times I have seen the round (on screen) radio dial and then I go another screen and then I can't for the life of me figure out how to get back to it! Anyone want to enlighten me :?:

    The New Dashmats are in

    Dashmat sent me their newest Dashmat after the failed design I received first for the i3. The old one worked fine as long as you just tucked the glove box flap (which was supposed to go over the glovebox and you couldn't open it -doh!) into the glovebox. Anyway, I think they listened this time...

    range deterioration VS heater temp

    Okay so I apologize if this IS posted somewhere but I haven't see it yet.. With all the posts about range deterioration here lately, I thought I'd put my 2 cents in. We've seen all the posts that obviously turning the heater on costs range, along with everything else you've got cranked on. So...

    New Dashmat design on the way!

    Just reporting in on the thread I put on here awhile ago about the failed dashmat design. The company emailed me and said they have totally redesigned it, it's finished and they are going to send me one within the next few weeks. They seemed to have listened to all the info that I provided...

    Driving with headlights off any advantage in certain sit?

    MY former question about where does he headlights get their power from and the answer from a poster "the 12v battery for sure" still leaves me with the question of: Does it help to not have them on when you can get away from not having them on? (as stupid at it might be...) I thought the 12volt...

    Magnetic front license plate holder

    Okay well the original idea was to mount neodymium magnets behind where you're supposed to mount the plate, right in the middle where the bulge is. When the BMW guys said they all don't like running front plates I had a hard time envisioning myself drilling holes into that nice new bumper :( ...

    Why not solar cells built into top?

    So I can't help but wonder why BMW can't implement solar cells into the top of the car. Upon my first few days of owning this incredible car, I started thinking about my beloved '92 Mazda 929. AT the time it was the first real luxury car from Mazda. It was extremely well made and was stunning...

    Anyone powder coat BMW 427 wheel yet in black?

    SO, as an unfortunate i3 owner with 20" wheels and thanks to this forum now informed of my summer tires performance for the approaching gloom and doom of cold weather and lots of rain, I am thinking of buying the winter tire package. I will confirm as the other posters have said, that the winter...

    Black n Blue seat covers - pics

    I finally got my seat covers from seatcovers unlimited. They are very nice. Maybe for some, maybe not for others. There are so many to choose from, hard to come up with a choice. I liked "Zebra" but know that my wife would go upside my temple with a baseball bat if I got that design, so went...

    i3 temporary hill climbing future solution?

    Thank you all you posters who contributed all that info on the last thread about "i3 dangerous to drive up hills). ALL BMW SALESGUYS SHOULD READ THAT THREAD BEFORE SELLING ANYMORE CARS. Not that it would have affected my purchase of my i3 because you'll have to pry it out of my cold fingers...

    New Dashmat design

    Hello all, I just heard from Dashmat. I sent them pictures of the obvious design error of the i3 dashmat. They know it's messed up :shock: . They said they are going to redesign it, actually FIT it to a real i3 and send me a new one. So far customer service - be good :D . It will take 3 to 4...

    Cheap rear cargo mat great for dogs - pics

    If anyone cares, this has worked out great for me. Costco $18 3x5 mat. Heavy duty, and waterproof. It fits perfect when turned vertical in the back. You can then size what's left over to whatever you want hanging over the seats - either right at the seat line or keep going past the headrests. A...

    Dashmat vs stock kenaf glare comparisions - pictures

    So the sun poked out in my neck of the woods. I thought that I'd get my i3 aimed right at the sun and take a few crappy shots with my cell camera and compare the stock dash with the glorious eco kenaf and then the Dashmat comparison. In both sets of pictures I just rolled back the Dashmat to...

    i3 Dashmat fail!

    I received my new Dashmat yesterday for the i3. Okay, good news and bad news. I ordered the "suede" look in "smoke". It looks good, to me anyhow. However I don't think someone did their homework though. The mat goes all around the dash area including the bottom valley in the middle below the Nav...

    No brake lights while slowing down under Re-gen

    Hello all, as an i3 newbie, I don't know if this has come up. I was wondering if there is any sort of brake light that comes on when you're slowing down real fast using the "off the juice pedal" de-acceleration. It was kind of the first thing that came to mind when I bought the car and...
