Re: Buying advice - 2014 or 2019

All I can add is do what you can to find one with the Harmon Kardon upgrade. That is my only regret.

On the suspension, I am in Chicago and the streets are even worse, no suspension will save us.

Re: REX is underrated!

Hvac at 66f, I don’t think I’ve set mine below 72. I like things toasty, and on long drive to take jacket off. Have you done a trip where you just did gas? I guess with elevation gain you probably need both if keeping 75 mph. Even in my previous supercharger car I would set cruise at 65 and chill in...

Re: Perfect Frunk Bag!

Adding to the thank you’s for the great find. Was using individual roll top waterproof bags. Have been using this for 2 months now, it’s great. For back up I still use the roll to bag for a few things and keep it inside this.

Re: On-center steering feel

Mine does center, I do run 2 psi over the recommended tire pressure though. If you have a Carmax or equivalent no hassle dealer near you, take another i3 for test drive to see if it feels the same or different to yours. It doesn’t sound normal, but each person perception of normal is different. My p...

Re: Slapped by Winter’s Cold

Dude, thank you for this!!! If there is ever an i3 meet up I owe you a few drinks and a lunch. I never use the trunk button on the Fob so the frunk will be great to have. I love the button 4 preconditioning as if I left my phone in the bedroom I can key fob warm my i3 from the back of the house. Upd...

Re: REX is underrated!

I agree, if our second car was not an ICE I would have the Rex. Been a few times where I said to myself I should have bought the Rex, but on those longer trips not having the lane centering (auto steer) I end up saying the the i3 needs this before I consider the Rex. On your trip did you use the ada...

Re: On-center steering feel

This seems to be the default steering feel. Tight and twitchy. The pulling left or right is a software fix but in mine that is updated it still has happened twice. It happens right away when you start the car, I just pull over turn off the car and wait 1 minute all good, hasn't happened in 4 months....

Re: Slapped by Winter’s Cold

Thank you so much for that! I will try and code that this weekend.

Was digging to find a BimmerCode to show the key fob menu in iDrive for buttons 3 and 4. Yours is easier.

Re: Slapped by Winter’s Cold

Yes i am, Monday-Friday set departure time. At work I don’t have a charging option unfortunately and can only preheat the cabin from the app. Now that the temps went to mid 40f efficiency jumped by almost double in my style of driving. Now I need to figure out coding the key fob for the frunk to kee...
