    To Those Doing Their Own OIl Changes...

    That's what I like to hear! I was going to do oil analysis on mine, and use mine more, but what maybe 5 times as much as you? It is still nothing!

    Need to STOP i3 from automatically locking doors when moving

    Someone always says this, and it's not true. Plenty of modern US cars offer it as an easily accessible setting. JohnnyCakes: It bothered the heck out of me too. I have bimmercode, was not able to find a solution and gave up.

    Intelligent Octopus and 2018 94h i3

    I don't know what this octopus thing is. But if you want the car to not get to 100%... let's say you normally leave at 8AM. Set the "low cost charging" to start at say, 5AM. Then set your departure time for 9AM. The car will start to charge before 5 if needed to meet the target, then you always...

    i3s shocks on regular i3?

    Well you were correct. Just validated that firsthand on my 2017 REX. I cannot comment much on the ride quality difference as I had 85k mile OEM units replaced, so of course these feel better. Car rides great, is well controlled through some of my favorite corners, and will feel better...

    i3s shocks on regular i3?

    At 80k miles my 2017 REX needs replacement dampers. I'm not interested in lowering it, but I would be a fan of a little more control, would the i3s shocks/struts fit a non-s car? They're different part numbers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MG6XmK95HxY&t=526s I just wonder if anyone knows if...

    What's triggering this thermal protection when driving hard?

    I've never hit this thermal protection where the throttle is limited in a 1 min autocross, but it sounds like it doesn't take more than a few minutes of track use to trigger it. Does anyone actually know what components are getting hot first and triggering it? Does running in roller mode help at...

    REX is underrated!

    Wish I could take it out when autocrossing, but other than that, love my REX too! People ask me about public charging stations in our area and I'm like, dunno, never used one. :D

    Regen braking can be dangerous on icy roads

    Try it in roller mode! Lack of ABS is likely to send you back, but at least you could confirm that regen is the issue

    lack of power from stop so annoying

    I didn't read every word of this thread electronchaser, but I would be very curious if you see a difference putting the car in roller mode.

    Comfort vs Eco Pro 0-60?

    Thanks for validating what I expected the theoretical drag race would look like! But on this part, why a "vast" difference in driveability? You just have to put your foot at a different angle to get the same response. Drive around in any mode for a week and you'll probably get used to it, no...

    Comfort vs Eco Pro 0-60?

    I'll just have to take your word for it, everything I've read says it makes the steering stiffer and further sharpens the throttle response.
