    Paying tax on a incentives and rebates for a lease

    Thanks Michael for your response. Not sure if I sound ungrateful, or rather careful and thorough about understanding what the dealer is presenting to me. I appreciate your feedback.

    Paying tax on a incentives and rebates for a lease

    Hi All, I'm currently negotiating a lease with rebates and incentives. The dealer claims I need to pay around $1,000 in taxes for those rebates and incentives (around $11,000) at signing. In CT, I never heard this before for a lease, we pay taxes on the monthly payment. I didn't pay such taxes...

    front tire fluttering sound

    Thanks again, Schnort. I love driving with my windows down, so I noticed it right away. Not evident with the windows up. But it definitely sounds like a bird fluttering or rubber flapping. Nothing looks stuck there, aside from a handful of tiny stones lodged in the tread, the tire is new. Would...

    Business Navigation Retrofit

    My experience with service in the East Coast is that you have to be proactive informing service about the i3. This forum is such an asset in this regard. I know BMW has trained i3 technicians, but the majority of service personnel don't appear familiar with the car, which I find causes delays...

    front tire fluttering sound

    Thank you for your response Schnort! No nail that I could see, but there are a bunch of tiny stones nestled in the tread. You think those can make such a noticeable sound? I'll dig them out and see if it changes anything.

    Windshield replacement

    I think the total parts cost comes to $915 (plus tax). This includes a new rain sensor (not sure if they can salvage the existing one). How many hours were you quoted for labor? Also ask for labor cost for recalibration. I believe insurance companies will cover that 100%.

    front tire fluttering sound

    Hi i3ers, I noticed a flapping/fluttering sound coming from the front driver side wheel at any speed above 10 mph. Faster flapping at higher speeds. Is my i3 growing wings? :) I replaced that tire at 2500 miles (nail in tire) and now at 3100 miles I noticed the flapping last night. I have the...

    Business Navigation Retrofit

    I guess no one recently had this issue. If you do, they fix it. Take it to the service center, and make sure to tell them to look for BMW NA announcements about this retrofit dating back to Sept. of 2014. (Otherwise they might not know what to do.) It takes about a week, and they will strive to...

    Business Navigation Retrofit

    Hi All, Did anyone get an i3 with a missing business navigation? What was the resolution? Retrofit? Buyback? Thanks

    My i3 REX doesn't have navigation!

    Hi all, Did anyone get the mentioned business navigation retrofit? Was it a software update only or did you have to go to the dealership? Have you had any issues with it? Thanks!
