    Do I need a USB audio interface with iPhone 4 to play videos

    I had my '14 BMW i3 REx MegaWorld coded over the weekend. I had it enable the REx Hold, AM stations and DVD video capability. Although, not sure if I need to get the USB Audio Interface to work with my iPhone 4. 1. It plays music through a USB flash drive, but does not play videos or video...

    Squeaking and Gurgling....sounds

    It's been about a month since I've had the i3 repair to rid of the "gurgling and squeaking noise." I must report that initially the "squeaking" returned. But for the past two weeks, I haven't heard the noise coming back. I think Zimbrick BMW of Madison fixed the problem. Thanks!

    Questions on Coding?

    I bought a 2014 BMW i3 REx in October. I read comments on several forums and websites particularly on BmwBlog about coding the i3. I'm a rookie at this and would like to know if someone could email me sites or copies of the ESYS SOFTWARE and PSDZ DATA that I need to do the coding. Are their...

    Weird experience with i3 REx

    A weird thing happened while waiting for my son after school. I had the i3 parked and idling. The car was running with the heated seats, heater (auto mode), radio, my seat belt engaged and in Eco Pro Mode. I bent over to tie my shoe and suddenly, the car's doors un-locked and the both windows...

    Squeaking and Gurgling....sounds

    I had my Laurel Gray i3 REx Mega serviced. The service tech said "There was unfavorable clearance between the headlamp stalk and the steering column. We made an adjustment while repairing the steering wheel noise." I'm going to pickup the car tomorrow. Hopefully, the noise won't return...

    Squeaking and Gurgling....sounds

    Just wondering if anyone else has squeaking in their i3's. I'm getting squeaking coming from the "High/Low Beam" knob. It squeaks only when I move the knob into and out of High/Low beams. It does not squeak when I move the knob into the Turn signals. Also, when a turn the steering wheels to...

    First week with the Rex

    I too experienced two top-ups going 225 miles (family trip). Previous to that long trip, I was able to go 1150 miles without putting a drop of petrol fuel. Today, it was 9 degrees and windy (Wisconsin). Only got 60 miles out of the EcoPro+ with Auto heating turned on and half of the miles...

    First experience winter driving in Wisconsin with my i3 REx

    I have all seasonal 19" tires that came standard on the Mega World REx. I think they handle just fine in the snow. The weather forecast later in the week calls for a Wintery mix of rain/snow. I'll post my experience on handling in that stuff. ----------- Riz (October) i3 REx Laurel Gray

    First experience winter driving in Wisconsin with my i3 REx

    On November 15th, the first snow and dropped 2-3 inches. I knew that people forget how to drive in this conditions. My son wanted to go to a late night movie with his friends and it was still snowing. As we approached the theatre, we saw about five police cars warning drivers to slow down...

    Cleaning driver's side bezel screen?

    I've used WeatherTech's glass cleaner on the driver's side bezel screen, but it left a purplish bubbly spots on the screen. I'm wondering what other i3 owners use to clean the screen or what Bmw recommends. Any comments appreciated.

    i3 can be charging at a Tesla EV station?

    With all the Tesla EV stations spread across the USA, is it possible to charge the i3 on them? Does anyone know if there is an Tesla to J1772 adapter available for non-Tesla vehicles to purchase online? :?: :D

    There are two plugs on the inside panel of the rear hatch. Does anyone know if you could retrofit the tool kit there, just like other Bmw's in the past? :?:

    Traded an M for an i...

    I was going to trade my '95 M3 (83,000 miles) in for an i3 REx, but the dealership wouldn't give me a good price. So I decided to sell it myself. I hardly drove the M3 and kept it for summer drives. I've enjoyed the i3 on commutes to work and around the country roads. It's fun to drive...
