Thank as always for the great info. I have less than on month left of my CPO warranty left and am taking it in tomorrow, I will have them check the health of the 12 volt. It was good in July when bought the car. Any tips on what I should hav3 them look while still under the CPO warranty….other...

The idea of using the app to remotely activate the locks on the door to engage the 12volt is compelling….if I could confirm that would work in my 2018 Rex. I haven’t left the car sit for more than two days. We travel about 3 times a year, when the i3 will be sitting for 5-7 days. Is that long...

Good to know, I will keep my eye out for a Black Friday Promo…guest I better opt back in to emails for BMW.

Thanks for the info. Interesting that it navigates based on most efficient route. Well it does work out to $10 a month, so when you look at it that way it’s not bad…I just hate giving it all up front.

Even though I live in the US and don’t get the same free perks, your list and explanation of the BWM I ConnectedDrive and ConnectDrive are helpful. Your list is too. I think I will eventually get the subscription…but I have more pressing items I want to get first like getting all my coding...

I live in the Washington DC area ….so 4yrs are up. So every time I try to use ConnectedDrive it sends me to the shop to buy the subscription. So are you saying in other countries the remote services are for the lifetime of the car? Looks like the US Market got screwed again….add that to the...

Hmm. I might be more motivated to get it when winter really gets here and that preconditioning be comes important when is 15 degrees out side.

Thanks to all the great info I received on this forum, I finally purchased a Black 2018 Rex with 29,000 miles on it. I love driving this quirky car around. I’m taking my time learning different things about what it can do ( also new to EV’s..but not to BMW) My last car was 2001 330i and pretty...

Thanks. I will check it out if my car doesn’t come with one. We are planning to eventually have a Level 2 hook up in or garage.

Thanks. I can’t wait to get one but, I need to do my research and not over pay. I love the brand, right now I have a classic 2001 330i 5-speed. My favorite baseball hats are my BMW hats…hate to have to stop wearing them for a difference brand. 😝 The dealer quoted $840.00 for the charger…so good...

Hi, I’m on the hunt for my first 2017 i3 REx and have had some great advice so far. looking at the photos of the frunks. I see empty ones and ones with a block with tow hook and other stuff. What are these items? Do I need them to come with the car or can I get them later used. I also see...

Ok, got it. It adjusts to assume that the most resent situation it was in will be the norm and that’s why it went up after I test drove it in mild weather, no air conditioning ,mostly highway and barely used the friction brakes. I’m use to drive a manual so the regen braking doesn’t feel that...

Hmm. Maybe you or someone else can explain these battery level readings before and after I test drove a 2017 REx for 10 miles some of the miles were highway. Before the gas was at looked like “full” at 54 miles and the battery was “full” at 98 miles After the 10 mile test drive the gas was at...

Thanks, I was out bid on the car, but keeping all this info incase I run into this problem later. So glad you mentioned that there is a process to filling the gas tank. I wouldn’t have even thought it would be different. There is a chance I may have to pick the car up in another state and...

Thanks, squirreling that info away incase I need it in the future.

Thanks for the info. I was out bid on the car, but this is great info to tuck away incase I get that code on the i3 I do purchase.

Thanks, don’t think think my money will stretch to a 2019 BEV. I was focused on the the 2017 REX because of the 94ah …good to know that their batteries are also holding up longer…going to take the advice I received here about the Hold Charge mode ( I’m sure I’m not saying that correctly) I’m...

Thanks for the advice, I think most i3s I have test drove have had the Hold State of Charge on” it was confusing…to see the battery charge go up, not down after driving it 10 miles. Now I get it! Ok , next question. I have dealer “ friend of a friend” that can bid on cars at Mannheim’s car...

I live in northern Virginia/DC area. Looking to buy my first EV, have had my eye on the i3 for years. I have a 2001BMW 330i 5 speed. I love this car but, between gas and repairs it just doesn’t make financial sense anymore…not to mention my mechanic just retired! All signs point to me finally...
