It pains me slightly to bellyache about my I3 because overall I love it. But I still feel compelled to add a few thoughts about improvements in the secret hope that someone at BMW would read the comments and maybe make the next version even a little bit better. I've had my I3 about 3 months...

Just got my I3 a few days ago and downloaded the app. I had to call to get BMW make it connect to my car, and now the app works just fine. One quirk though, and I'm not sure if it's designed this way or if there's something I need to do different. I can pre-condition the car when it's...

Thanks for the article, that's really useful information to have. I ordered my REx about 2.5 months ago and it's supposed to be delivered early next week....can't wait to finally be driving it.

really cool

Thanks for the link, I think I have a clearer understanding of the program. Thanks for the info.

hhmmmm, maybe I misunderstood. Here's a link to a video that mentions the Alternative Mobility Program at about the 5.01 minute mark. http://insideevs.com/video-cnet-on-cars-bmw-i3-first-drive-review/ It says that BMW will "loan" you an ICE car to use on longer trips. I assumed...

Just wondering if anyone has heard anything about BMWs car sharing program called "Alternate Mobility Program". In the earlier press releases from about a year ago BMW seemed to make a big deal about being able to temporarily trade in your I3 at your local BMW dealer for a BMW ICE car to use...

The BMW website said "production begins" 3 weeks ago. It still says that the status is "production begins" Does anyone know how long it takes to complete production? Devin solar orange REx Midwest US

Thanks, I'm impressed at your range on electric. But what I'm really curious about is how the REx car responds on a road trip. I understand that BMW wants everyone to know that it's a city car and not intended for cross country travel. And I also understand that it really isn't capable of...

Thanks Tom, I'm expecting an REx in a few weeks. Several times per year I'll need to drive a few hundred miles over flat-as-a-pancake Illinois farmland, hopefully at about 70 miles per hour. It sounds like I'll be able to do it without too much trouble as long as I stop for gas every...

I have a REx that is currently in production and hopefully will be here in a few weeks. I'm really curious to hear from anyone who has tried a road trip at highway speeds that involved more than just a few mile using the REx. Anyone out there? Devin solar orange REx hopefully...

I would expect that in the US after the initial rollout is complete that BMW would carefully manage the number of vehicles entering the US market so as not to produce an oversupply. They're not going to slash prices, at least not at first, they'll sell them somewhere else in the world where...

I had heard the lead times were long in much of Europe and that some people are having to wait 6 months or more. I went to my dealer expecting a long wait and to pay at least MSRP, I was surprised when they offered a discount. As I understand it, the BMW dealers that signed up to sell the...

I signed the papers to buy a solar orange tera Rex model in early May. The BMW web site says that production has started on it and the dealer says that it should be here in a few weeks. I've been very interested in electric cars for a couple of years but the existing ones all had a fatal flaw...
