I am still unsure of how I feel about the back of the car. I saw a white i3 the other day and all I could focus on was the great big white bumper and how close the tail lights are together. I thought it looked really strange. I am not as bothered by mine with the darker grey but still find the light...

My Chargepoint runs on a 240v 40amp circuit and consistently provides 7.2 kWh of charge to the i3. When my buddy came over and plugged in his Volt, we saw the kWh drop to 3.6 and tried to adjust his car settings to accept more but that was all the car would take. This appears to be determined by the...

There is a company that does inspect the oil, I can't remember the name but it is a company that the diesel drivers use. I expect that BMW has already discarded any oil/evidence of the failure. It is strange that this "mystery metal" issue has just come up again in another post. I think the noise di...

My home charger does that too at around 80%, it slows from 7.2 kWh and does a pretty straight decline to 0 kWh. I can see this happening on my Chargepoint App. I think it is the car's battery management that is doing that. The charger is able to continue at a consistent output but the car takes less...

We added 3 (up to 84 months total) years to the included warranty and up to 100,000 kms. Called a Platinum Warranty This cost us $3885 CDN. We weren't too concerned about the mileage limit as the car only had 20,000 kms on it when we bought it. It is just our city hoper so the miles aren't going up ...

Newer models will give you progressively more range going from 60ah to 94ah to 120ah batteries. I like the REX as a backup just incase so I don't turn the car into a paperweight by misjudging my distance. I am sure that even if I had a 120ah battery, I would still want the REX. If all I could pick w...

So I contacted the connectdrive people who are based in Florida. I needed to get my address changed from a Seattle address to my actual address in Vancouver. They asked for some proof of address so I sent them my extended warranty contract and they are processing this now. Then I should be able to g...

Hi Doug, I am 2 months into getting mine completely switched over to BMW Canada. Some of my services expired in Dec and I am waiting to get those back online with BMW Canada. I still have all the connectivity, I just lost the realtime traffic updates. and the connected drive services. I can still op...

You can code the REX to run at 75% state of charge (SOC) and this will allow you to run it more often to help keep the gremlins out. Keeping ethanol blended gas out of the tank helps too. Stick with the high test non-ethanol blend. Will US BMW dealers code the SOC mod? I am pretty sure they wont ch...
