I live in the UK. I got my i3 94Ah on 5th August 2016. The car has been at the garage since 13th August 2016 with battery problems. Inspite of changing several parts the fault remains. Maybe BMW are having to modify the car and this is the delay?

MY2017 Is there anybody on this forum in the UK who has taken delivery of the 94Ah BMW i3 yet. I'm still waiting for mine. My car was delivered to the Sopers of Lincoln last week but has not been handed over because of OLEV problems? Regards Chris Note...... Finally got mine today, busy...

I have been running an i3 since early March 2014. Having done around 35000miles in it I decided to chop it in and get the larger capacity battery version. I've just had the same news from Sopers in Lincoln. Delivery would be this week but for the DVLA refund delay. I have suggested that I pay...

I have to say that my i3 is my most used form of transport right now. Having covered some 4300 miles since march. The wheelbarrow is in use more often than the the gas guzzlers! I am loving the i3 so much. Traffic light fun is so addictive if a little naughty. Chris

And what if you travel abroad, how do you connect to a different standard?

2599 miles covered in my i3 Rex. Only problem was parking sensors not working after a jet wash. Now working again, must have dried out?

I would be happy to take pics if I knew where to look? Regards Chris Here is photo of 16 pin ODB-II connector fitted to my UK RHD i3. Happy to take any further shots required. https://www.dropbox.com/s/03mogshln6yt7mw/2014-04-18%2010.42.38.jpg

Why is it that the front seats passenger side in the UK version has greater leg room than that of the drivers side. The passenger seat slides back a further 2.5" in comparison to the drivers seat. There doesn't appear to be any obstruction that has prompted this? Can someone please see if...

Two weeks ago I had a demonstrator REX for a couple of days, and the chap at the garage said I could go where I pleased. Taking advantage, I charged the car up full and filled the small 9ltr petrol tank and set of for York, a journey of about 175 miles door to door. Using the A1 motorway and...

The car was not able to maintain the state of charge at 75% towards the end of the journey to York cos I had run out of petrol before getting there, and so was running without REX and therefore using some battery range. I have to say that the whole experience was facinating and has led me to...

Ok so no sunroof for the US just now, but there are positives, the car will be more efficient and go further on a charge because it weighs less it will be better insulated against cold or heat, and will be more aerodynamic. Oh and it will cost you less to buy and run. Two weeks ago I had a...

I understand that it is possible to track your BMW vehicle from the very start of the manufacturing process to delivery at the dealer. All one needs apparently is the VIN number. This is generated once BMW actually starts making your car...

Just had this Chargemaster unit fitted in readiness for my i3 delivery week 10. Its a 7kw unit that cost £95 for charger and installation. Chargemaster do a cheaper one at 3kw that cost £0 ! for charger and installation. I am borrowing an i3 for a day next week so will have an opportunity to...
