Mine came through a Honda dealership. I am not too sure that BMW would want to bring in used cars to compete with their local car sales but it may be that they are okay with it. Ours is a 2015 and came with the eyebrow LED’s on as well as the tail lights. These are always on when running. I am...

Some interesting articles have been produced referring to Heat Island effect. There is a point where the black is more advantageous if you look at the entire year and heating and cooling costs. There are white roofing materials that can help reduce operating costs in hotter climates. I would...

I am experiencing the same flaking! The black paint has come off about 50% of my e-badge.

I got one of those emails but I am overdue for my scheduled check up so I figured it was a reminder email. I didn't feel threatened by it at all. Our 2015 is under extended warranty so I need to get in and do this to maintain the warranty otherwise, I would probably just ignore the service all...

Here is an interesting way to get more range and tow a trailer at the same time :) https://www.dethleffs.de/reiseziel-zukunft/caravan/ Scroll down until you see the i3 towing a trailer :)

Trying to fit an 18" inch tire/wheel would be a better option than a 19". The taller tire might give you more choices as far as widths. Wheels from the Audi or Mercedes cars should fit and match up with the hub centers and bolt pattern. This would be a good project to improve the handling...

I recently had a low tire warning pop up and I was able to turn around and take the car back without damaging the tire. It turned out to be a screw in the tread. After work, I took the wheel off and went to the tire shop and had it patched. it was 30 minutes and $25 bucks to fix. If I had gone...

This was done a while ago but a quite google search will reveal a lot: https://insideevs.com/photo/3953481/bmw-i3-bumper-modification-out-with-the-two-tone/ Mine is darker grey so the rear doesn't look so contrasty!

Oh that makes sense. I guess it would need a on/off mechanism to save the battery. I could not find anything concrete on the interweb explaining the start stop process of the sensors. Perhaps the car sends out a wake up call to the sensors and when parked after your trip they just go to sleep...

I had a drivers side rear flat the other day. I got in the car and drove about 2 blocks before the car warned me or maybe it just took me 2 blocks to notice it. The tire was very low but not completely flat. TPMS is done with internal tire pressure sensors so when the car starts it does a...

After nearly 2 years of ownership of our 2015 Rex. We finally had the power steering drop off on the way to work. It was a very strange feeling. I just turned off the car and restarted it, and the problem went away. No lights or other issues after that. It is due for service so I will get the...

That's interesting! How do you suggest that it is attached? What sort of angle would the finished unit sit at? Have you determined pricing?

We use our i3 for work and need to haul tools and some materials to job sites. I made a checker plate box that runs from the hatch to the just behind the front seats. This means I am not loading on the access cover as my new covers rests on the back of the rear seats (while folded down) and the...

In my case, I went with the plug-able version as I was in the middle of an exterior remodel of the house. I do not anticipate pulling the plug very often but had a to do it 3 times and once when we did some welding and I used the outlet for the welder. For me it came down to the convenience...

Welcome to the forum! I have a Chargepoint unit. I purchased the unit the has a plug into the outlet to make moving it easier down the road. I installed a dryer outlet in the carport and plug the Chargepoint into that. The cord going to the outlet is quite stiff and short but is has some flex...

I am still unsure of how I feel about the back of the car. I saw a white i3 the other day and all I could focus on was the great big white bumper and how close the tail lights are together. I thought it looked really strange. I am not as bothered by mine with the darker grey but still find the...

My Chargepoint runs on a 240v 40amp circuit and consistently provides 7.2 kWh of charge to the i3. When my buddy came over and plugged in his Volt, we saw the kWh drop to 3.6 and tried to adjust his car settings to accept more but that was all the car would take. This appears to be...

There is a company that does inspect the oil, I can't remember the name but it is a company that the diesel drivers use. I expect that BMW has already discarded any oil/evidence of the failure. It is strange that this "mystery metal" issue has just come up again in another post. I think the...

My home charger does that too at around 80%, it slows from 7.2 kWh and does a pretty straight decline to 0 kWh. I can see this happening on my Chargepoint App. I think it is the car's battery management that is doing that. The charger is able to continue at a consistent output but the car takes...

We added 3 (up to 84 months total) years to the included warranty and up to 100,000 kms. Called a Platinum Warranty This cost us $3885 CDN. We weren't too concerned about the mileage limit as the car only had 20,000 kms on it when we bought it. It is just our city hoper so the miles aren't...
