Today, I installed the LED blinker and these LED high beams bought off of eBay, H8 H9 H11 White 6000K 4000 LM High Power Cree-XML2 LED Bulb Fog Driving Light. It's a significant difference. I'm really pleased and very appreciative of the instructions on how to change them out.

I follow you, Sparky, but BMW will roll the cost of their device into the lease, which is attractive from the standpoint of less out-of-pocket costs. Also, if they'll give a 10-15% parts discount, the OEM look starts to be reasonably priced. The way I look at it, with a $1000 rebate from BMWNA...

BMW owners were given the 10% off cards (up to $1000) for 2014. Also, members of the BMW-CCA typically get 10-15% discount on parts. My question is, has anyone negotiated a discounted price on the $1,080 unit or applied one these discounts?

Sorry, how are you defining "cap reduction"? He's saying $3500 down. Bear in mind, cap reduction on a lease is money that is gone if the car is damaged/stolen/totaled, as gap insurance only covers the remaining due on the lease. I think the better way of considering this is that as BMW is...

BMW and Kermit go back a ways. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSkP43A-LQ4

I had never considered the startling similarities between the a 2000 Mercury Sable wagon and a new Tesla. Musk, you shameless copycat!

You seem really angry about this. Didn't BMW take the car back? If so, then no worries, right?. We can be civil on a forum that has a lot of potential to help other people.

Look forward to hearing about the process and ownership. It'd be interesting to know specifics about the order process, pitfalls to avoid when ordering, price, and your location (I'm assuming you're in the US)

Glad to hear BMW is going to lengths to make an unsatisfied customer "whole" again. If the car is that flawed, it needs to go back the manufacturer and not simply re-sold on Autotrader. Maybe they'll learn what's wrong with it and apply that knowledge to other customers' cars.

Happy to oblige. I'll be interested to learn how the sale works out. Can the used buyer claim the federal and state EV tax credits, or is that only to the original purchaser? Also, will the rarity of the car suffice to command a premium over MSRP, despite this vehicle's described shortcomings...

But if the used car buyer wasn't satisfied with the car, he could just return it to the seller for a full refund, right?

So, you're asking $60,000 for a car with an MSRP of $56K? Yet, your AutoTrader ad does nothing to disclose the problems you feel WBY1Z4C56EVX62699 has that are so egregious that you've created an entire thread stating BMW should buy it back? Caveat emptor...

Thanks for the information on driving with AC on in 100° heat. Regarding the sunshade: I have the OEM shade for my M coupe and my 550GT. The one for the GT is quite large and also is used for the X5. You might ask the parts desk if they have a shade for an X3 or 3-series GT and see if it fits...

Let's hope we hear from AZ owners as to how the air-conditioning is working in the scorching summer heat. Also, regarding window tint. Here in AZ, I've been very pleased with Hüper-Optik on my BMW's and MINI. It's an expensive ceramic tint with good heat reflection but minimal darkness.

Now that some i3 drivers have real miles on hot days, could folks comment about the effect of running the air conditioning on your range?

How it works. If your account is current and you're in good financial standing,1 you can purchase additional miles at a discounted rate. You can do so at any point up until one day prior to your scheduled lease maturity date or the day you're turning in your vehicle, if you're planning to do so...

So why not submit a model that had a sunroof for US crash testing? I'm happy to tell my BMWi Genius that I'll wait for sunroof model.

Here's the i3 die cast model in 1:43 for €25 http://shop.bmwgroup.com/Scale-1-43/BMW-i3-i01--psc-200002840-j2SgMkx_0kMAAAEwQBd5ztFM-MLDE-WFS-en_EU-EUR.html?SearchPageableID=j2SgMkx_0kMAAAEwQBd5ztFM_name_ASC_ProductPaging&PageableNr=12.00&FromBrowseContext=ProductOverview

I'm interested to see if the residual value, as a percentage of MSRP, is a different percentage when comparing the EV versus REx. Many folks has postulated that the REx will hold its value better, but I wonder if BMW FS predicts that value will be discernible at the end of just 3 years.

Hmm, where's the sunroof?
