    How do i replace front door lock actuator?

    I have the same issue with my driver's side door registering as open when it's fully closed. You dont have to take the outer skin off, but the interior door card on the rear door does need to cover off. I believe the sensor that needs to be replaced is 51227291034-10 (this is for the driver's...

    Anyone found another tire that fits??

    Thanks for confirming, would you mind snapping a picture of it, am curious how tight the fitment is! I measured the width difference between the Ecopia and the Momo, and the Momo was about .75 inch wider, and wasn't sure if that was going to clear the suspension components on the inside. I am...

    Anyone found another tire that fits??

    I know I am bumping an old thread, but has anyone tried the Momo 195/55/20 on a regular i3 (non-IS)? Does it fit, require a spacer, etc?

    BMW i3 Hard Crash

    I am glad everyone is okay. I am very surprised that at 30-40mph, the only suffered that much damage. There isn’t much above the crash bar to absorb the energy—were you on full brakes just prior to the impact? The i3’s body structure is very impressive, but looks like none of it saw any...

    How I keep track of how much it cost to charge.

    Does that device feel warm to you when you are charging? Some of these smart outlets are not well made and can be a fire hazard—is it UL listed, or other carry some sort of safety certification?

    Rear trunk panel removal

    Thanks for the suggestion, I don’t have a lid anymore because my son’s school bag won’t fit with the lid in place, so out it went.

    Rear trunk panel removal

    Thanks guys! I started browsing the link above and since the rear seatbelt is under that cover, I was able to find what I needed. In case anyone else needs it: https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/i01-i3-hat/repair-manuals/72-body-parts-accessories/72-11-seat-belts/1VnXfUKbo7 Thanks again!

    Rear trunk panel removal

    Does anyone know how to remove the rear panel in the trunk area, where the trunk light is mounted? Would like to add more lighting but I can’t find any fasteners keeping the panels in, and I am not sure how these newer BMW are out together (my experience has been with a 1980 320i, and 1996...

    Removal of this module, help

    I knew the Party did this, but didn’t know how. Thanks for sharing! So how does this work? Slurps data off the CAN bus and sends it back via the GSM modem? Why do you need to connect the module back into itself? Do removing the module disable the car?

    CCS stayed locked

    The top one opens the door, the bottom one releases the latch on the charger. Don’t yank on it too hard, it looks like it could break easily. https://youtu.be/1lIO8D3vruc
