    20" Alloys with 20mm Hubcentric Spacers

    Well Its been a few days since I have 25mm rear and 20mm front. My charge range has gone up, although the temprature in the UK has gone above 5 degres, I don't think it would be this high. Is anyone else getting this sort of range in the UK on 94Ah REX...

    20" Alloys with 20mm Hubcentric Spacers

    Well driving it most of today, I must say that the battery does seem to take longer to drain down to 50% than it did before. I will have to do some more trips to compare, but looking at the percentage display rather than the GOM it seems better, even with occational foot down (Its hard not to in...

    20" Alloys with 20mm Hubcentric Spacers

    Thanks for the comments bdjuju, Yes purchased them from anothe i3. Be interesting to see this setup on 19" wheels. Just an observation, but I took the car off charge this morning with 131miles. Drove 28.7 miles smoothly and range meter still showing 124miles and 84% SOC. So for the 28.7 miles...

    20" Alloys with 20mm Hubcentric Spacers

    Hi David, I used a company called LMD UK LTD. eBay item number: 323091083131 Speak to Michael, great guy and very helpful. These spacers are very good quality and extended bolts/locks also are good quality.

    20" Alloys with 20mm Hubcentric Spacers

    Well I must say that overall, a much better ride. Softer over the bumps and cornering greatly improved. Steering feels a little more lighter also. No rubbing, even over speed bumps. Not lowered and don't intend too. I done 20mm all round, but will be increasing the rears to 25mm to finish it...

    Front stabilizer bar design

    Please BMW make the front stabilizer bar rotate in its bushings freely so the front shock absorbers can move freely without fighting against the bushes bonded to the bar, and cause occasional clonking when going over bumps through the link rods. Really bad design for a futuristic car.

    eDrive exterior sound

    I have had it on the loan i3 its annoying inside, sounds like a bad wheel bearing and I programmed button 5 to turn it off every time I got in the car. I am picking up my 17 plate next week and hopefully get the dealer to code it off permanently I hope! :roll:

    Battery Upgrade

    I just had my Electrical Engine Generator replaced and in RealOEM they list two types 22Kw and 33KW generators, so its not just the battery that is different on the two models, probably charger as well!

    Clunking noise when going over bumps

    Sounds like maybe wheel bearing or lower ball joint . best to get it off the ground and check properly or as someone said earlier get dealer to look at it. My i3 was in dealer for three and a half weeks in just before Christmas for generator replacement cost £3.500 plus 54 hours labor. must...

    Key Cloning

    I do think though that the transmitter has rolling code technology, this has been around for some years, but don't know if the code is repeated every 5 times or so, making life for a thief a little harder. I was surprised to find the i3 does not have an electronic steering lock though :roll:

    Key Cloning

    What we all must be careful of is car theifs here in the UK are holding transmitter/receiver amplifiers up to front doors of houses and bridging the gap from key to car and gaining access to the car, then driving the car away. The immobiliser chip is also read at this stage and once the car is...
