By opening the door at the driver side, the red reflector fell out. Two days later the same happened at the passenger side.
Also my airco doesn't work - will be repaired, I hope, in two days.
I have had exactly the same problem -- both reflectors broke. There is clearly a design bug in this part. Would anyone like to take a guess on what BMW charges for this $.15 piece of plastic that fails? $40. Each. This is really absurd. I had doubts about buying a BMW because of the reputation of the company for over-charging for parts and service, as well as the standard porcupine/BMW jokes. But the i3 struck me as a real step into the future and the company seems to be trying to be environmentally responsible, something about which I care a great deal. But $40 for a 1"x2" piece of plastic that looks like it came out of a Cracker Jack box? I'm not paying for it, because the car is under warranty, but it still infuriates me.By opening the door at the driver side, the red reflector fell out.

Well it's more like $20: http://www.jakesweeneybmwparts.com/p/BM ... 22094.htmldonallen wrote:I have had exactly the same problem -- both reflectors broke. There is clearly a design bug in this part.

Several months ago, I preemptively removed both reflectors and used silicone cement to glue them on. They haven't fallen off yet.
