Good idea. The growling sound means you’re likely going to have to replace it soon.

Guys, I had this exact problem a few years back towards the end of Covid Summer 2022. BMW would not even quote me on back order for this part. The car is supposedly not drivable without this as it needs to keep battery cool. My local guy had a connection and found the part in his network or...

I recently switched out both left and right parking brake (motors). I had an issue with parking brake release (manually engaged at a red light with car in "D", I was too lazy to hold the brake pedal down). The parking brake would fail to release when the accelerator pedal was depressed (seat...

Correct! Car is in Hong Kong. Road surface is a mix of roughened concrete and asphalt. It’s a humid sub-tropical type climate (does not drop below 0C/32F) so I run summer tires all year. For me, having a bit more grip helps quite a lot in the wet … and it’s wet quite a bit.

Guys, unless you enjoy drifting in cold and wet road surface conditions, buy the Michelin ePrimacy. It is a far superior tire vs the EP500 in respect of grip and plushness. The gap between these and the EP500 is probably bigger than the gap between the EP600 and EP500. It’s finally rained and...

Awesome! Keep us posted!! Good luck!

https://www.mybmwi3.com/threads/best-tires-for-i3.18263/post-74932 I just posted on another thread. I had Ecopia (EP500). Here it is for your reference: I've recently switched from the stock Ecopia (EP500) to Michelin ePrimacy. These I think are "summer" tires. So I might be on the wrong...

I've recently switched from the stock Ecopia (EP500) to Michelin ePrimacy. These I think are "summer" tires. So I might be on the wrong thread, but I would imagine that you'll need a non-winter set too. F 155/70/19 at 36 lbs R 175/60/19 at 41 lbs It's a night and day difference in traction and...

Hi eNate! To answer your questions in order: 1) I think my disorientation is primarily as a result of lack of visual cue as to the wheel at 180* vs 0*, although it's obvious at 90* and 270* (as the spokes will be oriented vertically). I think the disorientation is also likely exacerbated by...

Hi everyone! This is my first post! I've learned a lot about the i3 on this forum. Thank you all! I have been quite frustrated with the i3's two spoke steering wheel. It's been very difficult to acclimate to this after many years with three spokes (horizontal spokes at 3 and 9 o'clock, with...
