just did 96.2 miles on a charge with this (new to me) used cpo 2014 bev with 26K miles steady 62 mph on the freeway flat did experience a little mushy accelerator pedal at the end 8-)

sort of ... the 2014 rex lease ended in february and i spent the last 7 months looking for another vehicle to replace it drove many many cars and the i3 is still the best daily driver city car for me i especially like the brake regen / tight turning radius / instant torque - quick off the...

Thinking about re-joining the i3 family after my lease ended in February I inspected this car at the dealer and it is as visually close to perfect as any used car could realistically be https://www.capitolkia.com/inventory/used-2014-bmw-i3-rwd-4d-hatchback-wby1z2c50ev284753 I believe I...

the tire pressures were down about 3-4 psi each set 'em all to the pressures shown on the door sill Fronts 33 Rears 41 successfully drove around while the TPMS reset itself it's amazing how close my 2 year old (el cheapo) digital tire pressure gauge compares to the cars readout no more...

Washed her today ... I mean the car, so she was in the driveway for a while. This evening we keep hearing this meowing somewhere in the garage. The wife finally located the source ..... must be a stray. The battery is fully charged and the car is not coded, so maybe i'll start the Rex in...

Chargepoint extended the free (included with the 2 year lease) unlimited charging past the June 30 cutoff for another month. Marketing ploy? So, I decided to get a L2 charge nearby just for fun. The car has only seen an L2 charge maybe twice. Is this below/ normal/ above average consumption...

Learned today that the cruise control defeats the 56 mph limitation in ECO PRO+ mode. Range increases 1 or 2 additional miles vs ECO PRO. 8-)

Curious if the Rex would start only to power the accessories (AC/ heat/ radio/ lights) while parked in the garage. Answer: no :geek:

Took delivery 2/2015 with the understanding that charging was included with the 2 year lease. It's actually only valid for ~16 months. Has anyone else had this experience? :?

like ive said - the rex is worthless for me i have never come close to needing it should have got the BEV - my mistake got this message today for the first time :o

~8800 of 10K lease miles driven a year ago i went to lease a mercedes cla250 and 3 hours later drove home the i3 - another boring story problems: intermittent side rear door open indicator temperature dependent (cold) rattle somewhere behind the dash temperature dependent (hot) steering...

It would fit inside the diameter of a dime. I'll call one of those mobile, epoxy repair services. Used one years ago with good luck. :shock:

on this rare, freezing Silicon Valley day. Nice and toasty quick! Wife likes it! What I don't completely understand is that the car was fully charged at activation ... Yet, it now shows a fully charged time ~1/2 hour in the future ... like it's not heating only thru the ac plug. Probably...

Delivered Feb/ 2015 vehicle info/ vehicle status/ vehicle check on the display reveals nothing just "make an appointment with your nearest BMW service center"

The 2nd DC Fast charger is now operational on the Alameda in San Jose :D

My solution to avoid the crowds. :lol: ;)

Hit the start button and the "BMW Adaptive LED" Headlights come on.... They then droop and then slowly move upward to a final position. I assume they are doing some kind of initialization? or is it simply marketing coolness? :?
