Hello all not sure if this is redundant however here is some good reading on the potential dangers of Lithium-Ion. The injuries of the four firefighters are testimonial of this event. While of course this is a different application, it exemplifies there is always potential danger with lithium...

Hello I3 Owners - Here's an image of my alternate charging method when I need to add a few miles to my i3’s pack when traveling off the power grid. I recently upgraded this RV from flooded batteries to a state of the art 8 kw Lithionics lithium power system capable of even running the roof top...

I was considering a late model 17-18 but thanks to the new pack I'm considering a new 19 model. With the new 120 pack on the 19's I have two questions: 1) Do they finally let you start the RX from the console or do I need the fix? 2) With the bigger pack does the RX kick on with a higher SOC...

Just curious if the original code company is still making their dongle. In 2014 I just plugged in the dongle to my USB port and that was it. Didn’t need no cables OSB iPhone Bluetooth etc. Are these still available I’m thinking of getting another I3 thanks in advance. Mike

Hello all - I'm an older member and owned a 2013 I3 years ago. I eventually sold the car because it had a few problems with the worst being over-sensitive steering. Anyhow, I do like the I3's concept. I'm never going to own an all electric car because I won't put myself through this charging...

I was not going to post this problem but I know its not just me there are hundreds of owners who hate the steering on the I3 - I'm posting this in hopes of warning other drivers that the I3 can and will be very dangerous at highway speeds. Just the other day while my wife was driving at 60 mph...

Taking Control Of Your Range Extender - Mike Mas I know there’s a number of posts on the forum that deal with a software fix that remedies the problem with the I3 Range Extender however I wanted to just put it all in one thread for other users. As most of you already know, BMW made a terrible...

Thought I would share this great addition to the owners of the BMW i3 & i8. Months ago, I installed the Lowes “Iris” alarm system in my home & garage and found the power management option very helpful for turning on lights, heaters, etc. Their starter system starts at $179 and has unbelievable...

Coming from "Old School" - I like being able to access and put my hands on stuff in my car(s). Regretfully, BMW did not have the same idea when they developed the i3. As most of you already know, there is no lifting the hood to check on things - the engine is hidden and shrouded to where the...

Went looking for some rugs for my i3 on Ebay and such and "Wow" $139 front - $139 for the rear are these people friggen nuts? Anyhow, I came up with a cost-effective solution - instead of paying $250 for rugs - I found this great rug that actually fits both the front and rear for $9.95 each at...

I know there is numerous options for after market cameras however i was wondering if anyone has installed the factory camera on a none camera equipped I3. Thanks

Been reading up a bit and I understand in Europe the driver can start the kicker engine at will, is there a software mod we install so we have that capability?. It would be nice to on occasion to be able to start the engine just to make sure its going to run when you need it. Thanks Mike

Im sure this has been answered before but if you keep filling the gas tank could you continue to drive the I3 long distances? Thanks Mike
