    BMW i3 Resale Value

    I just read your post and went to carwana to see the sell price. all the "sell" changed to trade in value to purchase a new car suddenly . not sure why. Why would any one in right mind do business with such companies who misrepresent sale with trade in final step suddenly.

    Which versions of the AC compressor have people had failures with?

    Each time you open and close the door, the AC is turned off.( even if you are in car ) My kids love this activity ..... This constant on/off without time buffers will kill any compressor . I am not sure what is the need of this "feature ", apart to destroy the compressor.
