This will be my final post because BMW has decided to do a "buy back". I want everyone to know that I don't hate the car and there were a lot of things I really liked about it. A part of me will definitely miss it, but after living with it for a month, I now see that BMW has a lot of refinements...

I'm giving full disclosure that the check engine light repeatedly comes on and BMW claims is purely a "glitch" in the software. I'm not going to lie about anything and I haven't. UTER, Thank you for adding my Auto Trader link to this post. It will help me sell it faster. Thanks!!

UPDATE: I finally got a call from someone in upper management from BMW corporate about my "buy back". This lady was incredibly cold hearted and without sympathy of any kind. The answer was "no". At this point I have no choice but to involve my attorney. As a back up plan, I've posted my car for...

Nice speech drb, The great thing about the internet is something called FREEDOM OF SPEECH. If you don't like the information you're reading, change the channel. This post was not intended to make you feel warm and fuzzy. You'll have to seek your joy elsewhere. Perhaps Disneyland. UPDATE: The...

Hello everyone, I initially started this post to educate potential i3 buyers of the issues the car is currently having the moment you drive it off the lot. I honestly didn't write the post to scare anyone away from buying the car. My goal is to be informative. After reading this post, I welcome...

buickanddeere, Although I find your recommendation to be possibly helpful, I strongly advise against it for a couple of reasons. 1) To assume that the typical i3 owner is going to have any mechanical knowledge is totally unrealistic and you're expecting to much from the average consumer...

Thank you pdurham. Unfortunately, I'm not getting any answers from my BMW dealer service department or BMW corporate. They appear to be just as lost as I am or they're not willing to be honest and admit it's a software issue. I honestly believe what you're sharing with me is more true over them...

It's a REx made for the USA. It's the GIGA package with every option possible. Update: Today I turned in the car for the 3rd time because of the check engine light and I finally got a call from the dealership I bought it from. The BMW dealer I bought it from and the one servicing it are two...

(To CompuMagic) I have the Rex version as well and it's fully loaded. At home I have a brand new Bosch EL-51253 Power Max rated at 30 Amps and I hired a professional electrician. It got rave reviews on Amazon where I bought it. However, that's not the charger that was making my car malfunction...

This will probably be the most important post on here so please take a moment to read if you're considering buying an i3 or you're having problems with yours. I have no desire to scare anyone but felt it necessary for THE TRUTH to be out there so people can make an educated decision if the i3 is...

It's not a debate about which seats you like better. I'm commenting on much more room i3 owners could have had BMW given more thought to maximizing as much cargo space as possible, that's all. To me this idea is obvious considering 6 to 8 other car manufactures already offer this on their cars...

Hi Surge, I got my i3 back from the dealer yesterday and so far the Drivetrain warning light has not come back on. However, when the car switched to the engine to charge the battery today, it said "please recharge as quickly as possible or running the engine for a long period of time could...

Due to the compact size of the i3, I'm surprised BMW didn't include a feature I thought would be obvious to maximize storage space inside. Not sure how many people out there are aware of this, but many cars allow the front passenger seat to fold down flat! This would allow you to transport...

The speed limit in California is 65mph. However, the average speed people drive here is 75 to 80mph. It's very typical driving behavior. I wish BMW told me the truth about what kind of performance to REALLY expect when it switches to the Range Extender. Had I known the Range Extender is strictly...

I bought my i3 yesterday (5/26/14) & had a very NEGATIVE experience when the range extender took over. The cars performance maintained for an additional 15 to 20 minutes of freeway drive time & then the car suddenly dropped in speed very drastically. On level parts of the freeway I was able to...
