    The snappy throttle years

    Which years were the ones w the most snappy throttle off the line? And I heard bmw recoded it so it would be slower off the line to stop breaking motor mounts? Is there an aftermarket mount to use? Is it hard to change these said mounts? We’re these years only 2014 or 2015 as well? I think...

    Is i3 to i3s performance modification possible?

    So does it matter if we get an older i3 vs the 2017 and up if we want to gain performance like the i3s? There should be an aftermarket shop or company that modifies the i3 to get more performance!

    Is i3 to i3s performance modification possible?

    So does anyone know an upgrade to the increased power from the regular i3 to the i3s? Possible software upgrade some say? So the minimum requirement would be to have a 2017 i3? Or what year/model to have that increased potential?

    About to buy 2015 Rex from smaller dealer (warranties?)

    Thank you! That sounds like a good deal too... too bad they are not local to go and check it out in person (not too far though)? Didn’t quite see but did that one come with a bmw warranty still? So that one you recommended essentially it looks like the similar car to this one that I saw...

    About to buy 2015 Rex from smaller dealer (warranties?)

    So I think I really want to purchase this 2015 i3 Rex from this smaller dealer locally. Seems like a pretty good price, $17,500 (probably plus tax and doc fees etc another $3000?) But it has the color Colombo I like (white exterior and two tone tan and eucalyptus wood interior) and it seems...

    So if it were up to you, which one would you get? The 2014 or so Rex for around $15-17k? Or The 2017 Rex w/moonroof for $22k? The 2014 one is a hair quicker then, it wasn’t just me and my friend (we both thought it was. Bit quicker)

    Okay so I was able to check or actually the dealer guy did that Battery Life Status check. And the 2014 Rex model said it had about 13.9 and the 2017 Rex said it had about 28.8 battery life left. What do you guys think of those numbers? Is that normal ? Also if I got the 2014 with about 14...

    Thank you again! Ok so it will vary And alter depending on recent Driving behaviors.. that’s weird the bmw dealer has it listed with a 72 mile limit but maybe they don’t know? I’m sure I can ask them to look it up double check. But what do you think 2017 platinum silver w Tera package...

    Thanks so much again guys! So good to see that this forum is still decently active and with cool and informative members! Okay so I check up the m decoder.com and it says it is a 94a battery. So I guess it is the bigger battery size of the 2017? The gauge or bar graph must have been...

    Different wheels on i3?

    Would any aftermarket wheels fit an i3? Wider etc

    Pre 2018 option packages $20k>

    Thanks! Yeah that sounds right.... I would say if I can get 70 miles electric and Rex that’s good. I was just curious, is the older i3 quicker than the 2017 and up? When you compare equals- non Rex and Non Rex and Rex and Rex

    Yeah the website said 72 mile range w Rex. And when I looked on the gauge it had like half the bars and said 38 more miles or so range Does the smaller battery make the car pull faster since it’s lighter? Or not really? The non gas vs. Rex is the big difference? 0-60 for both times are like...

    Ok the one bad thing I think I just noticed about this 2017 Rex I just drove, is: I think it is 72 miles electric range. Is that right? It’s fully loaded with tech package and parking assist with moon roof. 45k miles $22k Did the 2017 come with 2 electric range (even w the Rex?). Some...

    Ok just test drove a 2017 i3 fully loaded w the tech pack Rex moonroof leather etc!! It’s listed for $22k with around 45k miles What do you guys think? It’s a gold silverish color. Not bad actually, white was the best preference. But this was at a local bmw dealer also so it has a warranty...
