Hey everyone, Happy Sunday. I know I have posted about this before, but it is really beginning to bug me. My 2019 i3S Rex 100% full charge would almost always show around 150 miles (a few times up to 160 and a few times in the 130s with cold weather charging). When I took delivery of my 2020...

There is a member on the Facebook i3 group I belong to, that says using Premium fuel for the REX can easily result in a Check Engine Light. I believe the i3 REX Owner's Manual says to use a minimum Octane rating of 89 for unleaded fuel, but 91/93 (Premium is recommended). I will need to add...

Hi. I have had my 2020 i3S Rex for 2 days now (love it). When I took delivery on Sunday 9/27/20, the dealer did not have time to charge my car. They delivered it to me with about 35 miles of range. I was able to make it home on the charge, but I was kind of hoping the Rex would have kicked...

Hi all. I bought a 2019 i3S Rex in Sept. 2019 and BMW bought it back from me in Dec. 2019 due to many repairs on the Rex generating system leaking fuel and causing a constant CEL to come on and stay on. I took delivery yesterday of a new 2020 i3S Rex. I went with the same colour as my 2019...

My beloved little 2019 i3S was surrendered on Monday 12/16. BMW handled the buyback so professionally and kindly. The Rep. met me at my local dealer, returned my down payment in full (with a little extra ;) and they cancelled my lease. I will greatly miss my i3S, but after 3 major repairs to...

My last two BMWs (F15 X5 35d and 40e) had the worst A/C I have ever had in any car, even dating back to 80s models. I was so beyond stoked to find how quickly my '19 i3S cools and heats. Near perfect HVAC. But today I observed something that I cannot imagine is normal, and hopefully is some...

Hi all. I don't have the HK upgraded sound system in my '19 i3S. Most of my previous Bimmers had HK, and I never really noticed much difference in sound quality or performance (don't shoot me, lol). So when I found my i3S and it had every thing I wanted, but no HK...I did't care (honestly, I...

Hi i3 peeps. Question...is anyone else surprised how much brake dust the i3 generates? I mean, it is nowhere near as bad as a "regular" car or suv, but I've had two X5s and three 7 Series with Regenerative Brakes and weeks of daily driving and there was little to no brake dust. I do one pedal...

New 2019 i3S, about 1000 miles (less than a month old) and it was in a week ago for the same issue. Last week was a tank vent valve and a charcoal/carbon canister that was saturated with fuel. Today, CEL came on again. OBD shows: P0440 and P016B. P0440 is the evaporative emissions control...

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I am still getting used to daily life with my 2019 i3S. Today I was very busy and did not have time or an opportunity to charge. I have been driving all day, multiple errands using the REX and 0% battery. REX works great! Is it dangerous, or bad for the...

Since many of us with the REX option almost primarily drive on pure electric and rarely engage REX, is it at all recommended to add octane preserver to the gasoline tank? I have NOT done this, but would love some feedback, opinions or a definitive answer ;) Thanks!

I really am shocked and so disappointed this is still a thing, after plaguing the 2014-2015 i3 and even going on until (albeit less frequently) 2017! My 2019 i3s Rex has about 500 miles on it. The first week I got it (about 3 weeks ago) I let the battery go down because I wanted to use & try...
