    New to me 15' REX Certified Pre Owned no start REX?

    You should change the fuel pump relay under the glove box. My i3 had the same problems until I changed it myself. Never had a problem since the. The relay cost roughly $35.

    Ugh. More misfires. (Drivetrain error)

    Mine does that all the time! It looks like all the first generation i3 with REX have this problem. Doesn't seem to be a big problem since the check engine light will go off after a few starts.

    I had this problem too. It was the fuel pump relay that was defective. $31 for the part. 15 minutes to change by removing the glove box. Everything runs fine now.

    Just coded my "new to me" i3/Rex with Bimmercode

    Same thing here. I contacted the programmer of Bimmercode and he confirmed that it was not working actually but working on it. He also asked me to try in expert mode with no luck.
