Very basic info and advice for someone considering a used i3 (from BMWBLOG). Incorrectly states the REX model dropped in 2019 (which was only in Europe). https://www.bmwblog.com/2021/12/03/used-buyers-guide-bmw-i3/

No problems with the new app here in SW Ohio (using an iPhone 13). Did have some issues connecting with my prior 2014 i3 using the old app.

Thank you for the option button instructions for turning on the FM/HD radio. I did not see any info about this in the owner's manual. In my previous complaint about de-contenting, these issues are really very minor and in no way detract from the major improvements of the newer models -...

Life is too short to worry about minor trivialities. The i3 is still a great car to own and enjoy.

The car has been de-contented since the early years to save money. The standard radio in my new i3 no longer receives FM HD stations, for example.

The i3 is a dead man walking. Harman Kardon option is history, IMO. Especially with the current chip shortage.

New and probably last i3 for sale (in Ohio) at "The BMW Store" dealership in Cincinnati. https://www.bmwstore.com/inventory/new-2021-bmw-i3-120ah-s-wrange-extender-rwd-4d-hatchback-wby8p8c01m7k30764/

According to the info in the eBay ad, it appears that tire is 11 years old. It may or may not be safe to use on your i3. You can buy a new Continental compact tire from Tire Rack. Then get a used BMW front wheel or a new Rial X10-I wheel (also available from Tire Rack). Copy and paste link...

Bought mine here. Call before ordering. It was out of stock and I had to wait about a week for delivery. The upside was that I received a brand new fresh battery. https://www.remybattery.com/start-stop-aux18l-auxiliary-battery.html

My 2013 dated battery still works like new. If I did not know the prior history of my car, I would consider replacing it to prevent an unexpected failure. If it was my decision, I would probably keep using the original battery and place the new battery on a low power battery maintainer for...

All you need to know about i3 wheels from Tom Moloughney (does not include the i3S): http://bmwi3.blogspot.com/2014/02/bmw-i3-wheels-and-tires-what-you-need.html

Is this like the Fakebook surveys that mine your personal data? Or a virus?

I am retired and, on average, drive 2000 miles a year. For an ICE vehicle: 2000 miles divided by 30 mpg = 66,6 times $.387 per gallon tax = $25.77 annual state tax

Anything that reduces the sales of EVs and hybrids increases the profits of the oil companies.

Please reread my original post, The $200 tax is only for EVs, not ICE vehicles. The state gas tax will increase by 10 cents per gallon over 2 years. If I owned an ICE vehicle that achieved 30mpg, my state gas tax would be a total of $26 a year for my current annual mileage. So $200 a year is...

Ohio is in the process of passing a transportation bill that will raise the state fuel tax for road construction and also levy a new annual tax of $200 on EVs and $100 on hybrid vehicles. The bill has passed the state House and is now under consideration in the Senate. I have already emailed...

I purchased the WeatherTech cargo mat. Waterproof, lightweight, excellent fit, easy to remove and clean. I got the light grey color which makes it a bit easier to see things in the black interior. The only negative is that it does not protect the seat backs when they are folded down. Still...

Thank you for keeping us informed. How much was the final repair cost?

I purchased the Clippercreek HCS-40PR (R=ruggedized) back when there was a tax rebate available. It was very easy to install and has functioned with no problems. I use the BMW app to monitor basic charging info. According to Clippercreek, the unit consumes "approximately 2 watts" in standby...
