Buy used REx 2017

[BimmerSass]

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 missing chargers. If I had to buy a charger, What would be a good replacement or better level 1 charge for this REx? Need this info to negotiate if missing and also to have a better understanding of total cost of car.

I understand that the 2nd key fob is $400-500 …. Have read and understood the potential nightmare if you only have one and lose it. That will be a priority to acquire, if the car only has one.

Please feel free to add anything else I should be looking for

Thanks for your time.

Hello 2016 Rex here!

Since there is no spare, the frunk has a inflating bottle and compressor. You can buy them OE, $30 and $100 respectively.

The level 1 charger that comes with the i3 is OEM BMW Delphi #6826371-01. This is around $250 used.

I do not have any info on the 2nd key. I'm sure it's not cheap and having a 2nd one would be critical.

The i3 is a great car! Best of luck on your search!

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 to know that I can get a used one for $250.
So,that is a level 1 charger that charges at 4 miles per hour in a regular three prong outlet?

Yes, the level 1 charger is used with your household 120 volt, 3 prong outlet. Also, it is around 1.7 kw/h charge rate (4 miles to the hour). If you are looking for a charger, I just grabbed one of these. It's a BMW level 1 and level 2 charger combined. I've heard good things and was able to find a used one off ebay for $199.

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.
