My i3 Rex is a company car on a 3 year lease. I've had it for 2 years but with the sale of my employer I am being made redundant in 4 weeks time and the i3 has to go back. I have mixed feelings. I have enjoyed the economy and acceleration and my kids aged 7 and 9 seemed to love the car from day...

My i3 has been in the garage for a week while they investigate the drivetrain error message and relentless squeaks and rattles from my dashboard. BMW just called to tell me that "a number of parts need to be replaced including a new steering wheel". This apparently means quite a long delay as...

I have had my i3 Rex for about a year now (although only around 7,000 miles covered) and thought I would post my thoughts: The Positives: - Its proved extremely cheap to run as a daily commuter (around 40 miles a day). - My workplace has fitted a fast charger which has proved great for me as one...

Have had my i3 Rex for just over a week now and while its a great car I've been hugely disappointed with the range I can achieve.

Hi I've had my i3 Rex for a couple of days. I'm loving the car and wondering if I'll ever drive this thing sensibly! My car came with an owners handbook but no manual for the pro satnav, which I'm finding tricky. My main challenge currently is that I don't see charging stations on the map view...

Hello, I have an i3 Rex on order here in the UK. Yesterday Chargemaster came out and fitted a charge box for us, £95 upgrade to a 7kw faster version. The distance from the best spot for the chargebox to the driveway was slightly too far for a tethered cable, I need a 6 metre cable, so we had a...

OK it's by a BMW employee but I still really enjoyed this one: http://youtu.be/hT1glyZzoFU

Hello I am seriously considering a BMW i3 and have enjoyed reading through this forum today. I think I am well suited to one, my situation: - currently own a BMW 330d. It's 6 years old and has done 85,000 miles so I am thinking of changing it as it costs me £50 a week in fuel and is starting to...
