It does not seem like production numbers have anything to do with production date. My production number is 0607000 and it still shows the order as documented. I think April 18 is the day when car goes into production. I am not very optimistic. I placed an order back in Dec in Miami, FL.

+1. I would like to know about the parasitic loss as well. On a somewhat related subject, lot of airports now have EV charging available. JFK has a few in terminal 5. It is not ideal if you are flying out of a different terminal. Also, not sure if you can leave your car on the charger for...

I have the same issue as well. I saw the printout from the dealer that was sent to BMW in Germany that shows the correct color (Solar Orange). But in order tracker, it shows up as "Andesite Silver/BMW i Frozen B". I am not too concerned as i saw the actual order form sent to BMW and that has...

Jazz, will all bmw dealerships that sell the i3/i8 have the L3 DC fast charger?

andyW...sorry..i should have put a question mark after the word "availability".

Hi, I have searched for a scale model of the bmw i3 without success. I always buy a 1/18 (or different scale) model of the car I drive and keep it on my desk in my home office. I hope BMW i3 die cast models start showing up soon. It will definitely help those of us who have to wait 4 more...

I have a windows phone and am hoping that BMW creates an app for it. This brings up a question: Can all the features of the i3 be controlled equally from a web-browser and the app?

Here is Florida, I put a $1K deposit down after the test drive. The conract that I signed for the deposit was very generic that basically said that the car might be $50K. These deposits are usually refundable as these new cars are very popular and there is always someone in line to buy it.

Yes. ED is not an option for the i3. I apologize for mentioning it earlier in this thread.

I owned the E46 M3 SMG convertible and then switched to a C2S convertible for the past 3 years. I am going to get the i3 as a daily driver and will keep the C2S for weekends. I liked the E46 M3 a lot and drove it until the extended warranty expired. I put about 78K miles in 6 years. I have...

Awesome. Fully loaded i3 will be about 50K. And good to see that there is pricing for Euro delivery which is 2K less than standard pricing. Question: Why is the DC fast charging capability $700? Does it require additional hardware on the car?

For the external mounted charges, is there a security feature on the charger where it prevents a someone from using your charger? i.e when you are not home, can your neighbor use your charger to top off their EV. :)

can the bmw or other chargers be mounted outdoors? i.e can the charger be exposed to the rain, heat, humidity? also, how long can the cable that connects the charger and the i3 be? i.e what is the max length? In my townhouse, I have a 1 car garage and 1 parking spot outside. I am keeping my...

Thanks for the info Jkoeller. I was referring tot he L2 charger. :) BTW, walked past Tesla showroom at the mall earlier today and asked the sales person about the timing of the charge and he said that it is something you can set in the car (or app) where you choose the timing of when charging...

Hi, I pre-ordered the i3 and am doing my research on chargers and how the work. I am planning on getting the 220V fast charger. In Florida, the rate for electricity is lowest from 10 PM to 6 AM. It is highest during the day. Can the BMW charger be programmed to turn on at specific hour...

Hi, I pre-ordered my BMW i3 Electric (no extender) at south motors BMW in Miami on Thursday (12/12). I put $1K deposit down. There was no order guide, so my contract was generic. Once there is an order guide, I will be able to select colors & other options. I did test drive the i3 as well...
