I have had my i3 since May 2014 and since its on a 2 year lease I need to decide what's next pretty quick (remembering the agonising 9 month lead time at the start!). I definitely love my i3, except for all the cabin rattles (dash, glovebox, speedo screen all annoying me) and I added most...

No solution yet other than pushing the offending button a few times! It always seems worse first thing in the morning (maybe as its usually colder). There is fine buzzy rattle from inside that part of the radio unit as well but on balance I fear they would be worse should I let BMW have a go...

The 8 favourites buttons are touch sensitive so if you touch (put don't press) it displays their current assignments across the top of the screen... Mine keeps popping the assignments up across the screen (and then going to 8 and saying press and hold to save) when driving around - randomly...

Mine finally arrived early today and I love it! Happy to get free prof nav upgrade I wasn't expecting (order 29 Nov).

Well this really sucks! I have waited patiently my 7 months, car comes on Thursday :D , moving house in 5 weeks, lined up electrician to run a 32a supply to the garage the week I move and then this happens! Hopefully it is just temporary or I can quickly get something booked before less savvy...

Does anyone know whether using the second key (and profile) keeps the driving stats for drivers separate? I am hoping it does so I can compete with my partner!

I saw my first i3 on the road today, in Glasgow... Part of a charity cycle around the 12 Malmaison hotels to raise funds for NICUsupport to help them buy an i3! https://www.facebook.com/nicusupport (I didn't take the picture!)

I do believe that the benefit of the £5k ultimately came to me through my company's lease quote - although getting there took some time. I've been sidelining the company / lease team a bit recently and going direct to the supplying dealer who have been helpful.

I'm back on track... The dealer queried the change and it seems to have been put back broadly as it was, so my build is wk 19 (early May) and delivery wk 22 (end May). They did say that orders today were looking about December delivery.

I got an email this morning.... 'Delays at the factory' - new delivery date 4 July 2014 :cry:

An opportunity to share my pain :) - REX Watched the launch 'live' July 2013 Went to Frankfurt and checked it out September 2013 Asked my company to order one October 2013 Company actually got around to confirming order with BMW (after much debate about the £5k grant and pricing) 29 November...

Hi, I noticed that there is a new(er) brochure on the bmw site (Dec 13 instead of Nov 13) and on page 50 it states the following under the 'standard equipment' heading: "Cruise control with braking function. Maintains a pre-selected distance from the vehicle in front, reacts to stationary...

300 per week shared between 47 dealers is only about 1 per day. I would have thought they would be working the cars a bit harder than that!

Hi, UK website... https://www.bmw.co.uk/en_GB/topics/owners/accessories.html#eyJhc19xIjoiaW5tZXRhOmF2YWlsYWJsZUZvck1vZGVsU2VyaWVzJTNEQk1XJTI1MjBpMyJ9 If you sort by newest first it shows the i3 specific accessories. Mike

The Telegraph journalist mentions that his electric range is 49 miles when he sets off on the 60 mile journey to Folkestone to see if he can make it... then he hits the AC in November, turns on the headlights during the day and hopes for rain (where's my raised eyebrow emoticon?) Still, I...

And the accessories are available to view.... https://www.bmw.co.uk/en_GB/topics/owners/accessories.html#eyJhc19xIjoiaW5tZXRhOmF2YWlsYWJsZUZvck1vZGVsU2VyaWVzJTNEQk1XJTI1MjBpMyJ9 If the link doesn't work: Owners>accessories>filter by vehicle

Great news! I wonder if 'exterior mirrors - folding, auto dimming' in the comfort pack means electrically folding? I also noticed that if you request a downloadable from the configurator it is slightly more comprehensive than the one on the specification page (both say November Launches on the...

Hi Rusty, That is Laurus grey - the metallic option. If you look at my pictures here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pxpun02h868t453/SHweC5SkkX then I have named the pictures of the two greys as Arravani or Laurus so you can see the difference. Mike

I work for a large company so I don't have any say in their decision to buy the car or lease it or what the benefits of each might be, I'm sure it will be leased. I'm an accountant though so I guess I'd consult myself :P

Hi, I have been progressing some quotes for the i3 on my company car scheme and finally settled on a spec and asked for my order to be placed. Interestingly, the REX with lodge interior was about £100 per month less expensive that non-Rex with standard interior (before income tax / benefit in...
