Thank you Alex. So I can ask my dealer to have it retrofitted in my 2014 i3? Will it be touchscreen?

I assume CarPlay cannot be retrofitted into an older/used i3, but can it be ordered now with a new i3? Thanks.

I have a 60Ah REX. 150 miles is exactly the round trip distance to my weekend get away. I can't charge the car while I'm there. 80% of the trip is on a highway, where I drive at around 70-75 mph. Most of the time I drive in decent weather (around 65-70 deg. F). Well, I *always*...

I have noticed an increased range of about 15% post-November update ! I am thrilled with it ! That 15% figure is not based on range calculations/estimates, but on actual miles driven. Temperature was about the same pre and post November update.. I'm not sure what the existing software...

I updated my i3 here in Spain to the latest version two weeks ago, but the plug is still locked even after the car is fully charged! I know I have the latest version because when I leave the charge port door open and start the car, I get the new warning notice. Is there a setting I need to...

Two days ago, after driving 70 continuous miles on my REX purely on gas (didn't have a choice) I got a 'drivetrain malfunction' message on the screen. The message stated something like 'you can continue driving but please take car for service'. Too bad there's no more specific information...

I'm afraid I might also be loosing battery range after only 6 months and 4,000km / 2,500 miles travelled. Since I purchased my i3 BEV back in May, I make a weekly round trip to a town that is exactly 50 km/31miles away. 80% of the driving is on a highway at an average speed of 120 km/h /...

oooops, I forgot that opening the charging door requires the car to be unlocked! thank you. In any case, I'm still curious about all my other questions in case I decide to leave my car unlocked on my next trip (car is safe in private parking).

My i3 REX (US) has been unplugged and unused for two months now as I spend six months a year at a time abroad. Question: how long does the battery take to deplete? will it last six months? Since I have the REX version and the tank is full, is the question irrelevant as the car will start...

+1. It's ridiculous BMW didn't include a sliding visor. Big nuisance for me mornings and evenings. Boo!

Absolutely - I would say the difference in acceleration is predominantly in the 0-15mph range.

I spend about 50% of my time in Europe and the other half in the USA. After purchasing the BEV in Europe a couple of months ago and loving my i3, I took the plunge last week and purchased another i3 in the USA, except this time I purchased the REx. The first very noticeable difference I...

I heard the new green HOV will be approved in the next few months. I receive my REX in California next month Does anyone know if the stickers will be issued retroactively after the law passes?

I agree. The i3 is very sensitive to wind - I very much notice this when driving on the highway.

I finally got my i3 BEV this week... very excited! I was very curious to see whether the battery would manage a roundtrip I make to a nearby city every once in a while (btw, I'm in Spain). My destination in that city is exactly 50 km away (31miles) from home, and most of the drive there is...

Thank you Mike! Glad yours started production too!

My launch edition (Tera) i3 Rex started production last week (# 06085XX). Very excited! Based on other i3's delivered in the USA in the last few weeks (REX EPA holdup issue not withstanding), when should I expect the production to complete, and the delivery in California? Thanks!

I placed an order for a launch edition REX in mid February. My i3 will be one in the initial batch ordered by my California dealer, and promised for delivery in May. I just called BMW to find the status of my car and they said the production date is still 'pending/not entered'. I wonder...

Toolworker, really? Because my California dealer told me that we'll need the number plate in order to apply for the sticker and those are not given out until the car actually arrives and is picked up at the dealership...

I just got my i3 Rex production number from my US dealer... very excited! I successfully entered it on the BMWUSA site, but I don't see an option for tracking it... I guess I need to enter the VIN in order to do that. My dealer told me I won't get the VIN until the car enters production...
