I was looking for the possibility to install apple car play in my i3 from 2019.So I asked my BMW dealer. They couldn't do anything, but they pointed me to an aftermarket supplier in my neighbourhood. This aftermarket supplier, however, tells me (based on the VIN-number of the car), that they...

I'm using the Wokeby. Works great for me! But be carefull during installation, so that you mount it at the exact right place to the hood. Otherwise, you'll still have leakage.

I'm a bit surprised reading about this. I never heared about screen upgrades before, but the lack of information in the screen is one of my considerations to maybe get rid of the i3. Otherwise I love the car! But is it really possible to upgrade the screen and then be able to use apple carplay...

Thank you! Could you give me an idea of where to find this definition for the HV battery in BMW's product presentation? On the web?

There are scratches, but no permanent dents. However, if you hit a metal part, it can be deformed and go back to its original position. As long it is in the flexible part of deformation. If the deformation is larger, you'll be getting remaining deformation. So if it was deformed in the...

Last week the underside of my i3 got damaged by steel parts falling of a tractor driving in front of me. Probably my (2019) i3 is considered as totall loss by the insurance company. But I would consider that as a petty. I would like to keep on driving it. If it's considered as a totall loss...

I have my 2nd i3. This time full electric with 44 kWh Battery. And again after about 50.000 km (in approx. 2 years) the protective rubber covers around the shock absorbers (inside the springs) Are defect. They were replaced under guarantee. But it seems to me that the quality of these parts is...

Thx

If you drive below 30 km/h with the i3, you will hear a warning sound for pedestrians. Where does this sound come from. Is there a speaker somewhere or something? If yes, where? Anyone familiar with these details?

Hello all, I have a 2014 i3-Rex. This one still has the 22 kWh battery. I would like to upgrade to the larger (almost double capacity) battery and use the old 22 kWh battery as a storage system in my house. In that case the BMS would need to communicate with a SMA Home Manager. The SMA Home...

I solved the problem, by preventing the locking pin to be able to lock the gas cap cover. I used doublesided tape to stick a small metal plate in front of the pin, so that it can not move out anymore and cannot lock the gas cap cover. I only hope, the doublesided tape will be lasting a long...

From the picture, it's not exactly clear to me, where to cut away a part of the peg. Top, bottom or side?

Does anybody know where I can find the required thightening torque for the wheel bolts?

Done! Thanx!

Hello all, My 2014 i3-Rex is out of its warranty period, so I thought I could save some bucks by doing the maintenance myself. It's not that difficult. Change oil+filter, interior filter, test braking oil and if required replace it, clean the discbrakepads and brake callipers, etc. The only...

Thanx

I know that according to the maintenance schedule, I should change the oil and oil filter in my Rex every 2 years. However I seldom use the Rex. Most part of the running hours, are the automatic maintenance runs. I've driven about 106.000 km so far, from which about 1200 km with Rex (including...

Where can i find the required maintenance (per year or per xx,000 km/miles) for the i3 Rex?

Hello, I have a i3 Rex from 2014. I bought it with Rex because of "Range Anxiety" ...... Meanwhile, we have so many fast charging stations in Holland, that's no problem at all anymore. If we are driving a little further than usual, nowadays we are using my wife's VW E-Up (with fast charging...

Well, Finally, I know the cause of the sound. The motor mount bolts replacement had already been taken care off in the past. It was a motor support bracket at the underside of the motor. See photo: The rubber inside the bracket is normally vulcanised to the metal. This connection loosened...
