    Missed my i3 Rex. Want to buy one again. What to avoid?

    I want to buy a car for my daughter and it is going to be a i3 Rex. I used to own the 15 i3 Rex and loved the car for two years, panicked and sold it off because there was a talk about issues with the AC and that it took almost 8K to fix it. Long story short, I want to buy the i3 Rex and these...

    Buying a Private Party 2015 i3 Rex with 68K miles. Good Idea?

    I am planning on buying a fully loaded with all options i3 Rex with 68K miles. The car has been maintained well and has 3 more months of CPO left. Should I be staying away from a car this high in miles? I used to own a 15 Rex but sold it last year and have been missing the car ever since...

    How long do you plan to keep your I3?

    Now that we know BMW will not be making these anymore, what do you guys intend to do with yours? Although the car is low maintenance, there still are a lot of moving parts. Wheels, bushings, discs, pads, suspension, steering, etc. If there are no independent manufacturers of these parts, then...

    2015 i3 Rex Maintenance after plan expired

    OK so my maintenance plan is expiring this July and I am wondering if the i3 can be maintained at an independent place because the dealer is very expensive. Beside oil changes etc what do I need the dealer for? Will getting it serviced elsewhere void my CPO warranty?

    CPO coverage changes, Maintenance etc. Should I be worried?

    From what I recently read on a link posted here, BMW will not maintain the I3 from now on? i.e. oil changes etc? I am a bit worried because I'd hate to take the car to BMW to get an oil change for $200 which should cost be maybe $50. I am in the Los Angeles area and would love to know if there...

    2015 i3 Hold SOC charge not what it seems?

    Thanks for adding me as a member to this forum. I have a coded 2015 i3 Rex and with about 50 miles remaining on the battery range, I activated the Hold function programmed in my number 8 button.
