    Fuses

    Had a strange thing happen this AM. All of a sudden I have no sound on Satellite radio. It has signal and channels just no sound. All other audio and media work. I thought maybe I might pull a fuse and replace it but for the life of me I do not know where these fuses are. Any one know or...

    I3 unsafe in winter weather?

    Second winter for me with the i3. First year with Nokian R2's. Infinitely better than the Blizzak (yes I tried them on my neighbor's car who also has an i3). The nanny interventions that are being described are not normal based on my experience with the i3. I have driven the car in over 14...

    charging plug will not release from my i3

    Since I have been squirting in TriFlow into the pin area I have not had any problem. I do this every Saturday morning and the vehicle lives outside with temps as low as 4degrees F. It was getting more frequently stuck the colder it got. I will continue with my TriFlow squirt through the...

    Anyone powder coat BMW 427 wheel yet in black?

    I found 427's on ebay for $600 and had them powder coated black. Like them better than my stock 429's. With the money I saved I had them powder coated and put R2's on. Very very happy. Like the ride better too than stock. Will try to take some pictures.

    Snow?

    I have the R2's and my neighbor has an i3 with the Bridgestone package. R2's were around $200 more for the four than the Bridgestone but the following was much different. R2's rode softer and quieter in dry. R2's are much better in snow up to two inches which is all we have been able to test...

    snow tires for i3

    I have the Nokes on my winter wheels (Set of 4 427 wheels powdercoated gloss black). Will put them on first week in November and will write a review after a couple of snows. I can tell you that the Nokes are the softest rubber and the deepest tread pattern I have ever seen. Much softer than...

    Can REX be added aftermarket?

    I have been driving my REX from Westchester NY to Lower Manhattan every week day since 12/1/14. The round trip is 56 miles. I have NEVER, EVER needed the Range Extender for this trip. Temps as low as 4 degrees F and as high as 101. Yesterday my inbound trip took 2.5 hours but my range was...

    Check Engine Light

    This has happened to me exactly as you described. Has only happened twice and seems related to quickly turning car off and back on. Happened just yesterday to me and it went off this am when I got in it. I have 13+K miles on a car purchased December '14. It is due for annual service on...

    Problem with charger

    I was in Virginia with my Rex and I was charging at the hotel. I went to remove the Clipper Creek and the darn thing would not let go. Called BMW Roadside and the tech told me to remove the black foam piece that covered the emergency release button for the charger. There are two blue buttons...

    Check Engine Light on REX

    If you fill the gas tank too close to the top this will happen. It will reset after you have driven it a little and lowered the gas level. Turn off and open the gas tank and close and the light goes away. Lesson is do not fill tank too high.

    i3 in the snow

    Another option is to find a set of takeoff's. I bought lightly used set of 19 inch (427) rims for $500 for 4 off ebay. I then bought the R2's and I am all set for a little over $1000. In addition, I had the four rims powdercoated gloss black and that added $400 but it was unnecessary.

    I park the car in one of three places depending on the day. In NYC in an underground garage where my signal on my cell phone is two bars of 3G i have no problems with the app. The longest it has taken me to connect and perform an action is two minutes. In my home in Westchester, NY it is...
