Regarding the question "Why spend 15,000 $ or € on a 2027 or 2028 I3 car which is worth only $ 5-k to 1$ 15-k in 2027 ? " My reply: ( as soon as Lion Smart or other firm make long range EV batteries available that fit the I3 cars ) that we put together both a US and an EU buyer group, and we...

Hi BornElectric2018. I fully agree. I love the screen sizes & screen usability & stick options & control buttons. and the Bluetooth system works perfectly when I make or receive standard calls, and Skype calls & WhatsApp calls (including the Wheel control to accept & set up calls). How do we...

OK. Maybe you have a point. We have a few USA Rex owners interested. With patience, we might get more than 1,000 in USA before summer 2025. Then we would push battery manufacturer +retrofit companies to supply Rex owners starting early 2026.

Hi Cleveland. Please feel free to email direct to Matthew Z.: [email protected] ( Matthew can collect names, emails & tel nos for USA. I will gather names in Europe )

The BMW i3S 120Ah comes with an 8-year warranty on its high-voltage battery, which covers up to 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. My car is from March 2019. Its battery warranty expires March 2027; The 2020 cars warranty expire 2028; etc Previous messages, I said I was not planning to start...

Sure. When you include Rex versions & include worldwide sales; Yes. Reports say 250,000 i3 cards were sold. For EU, UK & Nth America markets, I had estimated 70,000 sales of i3S 120AH models sold since Sept 2018. But since you guys suggest same battery size fits Rex models & some Rex owners are...

Hi Jim. I don't understand why you joke about this matter. The technology is soon to be available to give us 600 Miles or 960 Kms range from battery that will fit in our i3 cars. Please have an open mind & please examine these two websites of German firms. Lion Smart built a battery in 2014 that...

Hi Alohart that's very useful information. Agreed, the market is very large. BMW manufactured 70,000 i3 vehicles. and Lion Smart have a USA branch of their company, if we get to the stage of offering Lion Smart or another battery company an order for over $ 30 million (2,000 batteries for...

Hi Mojo I really appreciate the detailed & honest notes. I agree that a limited liability insured company must be involved at the order & delivery stage of such a project. Any else would look like a scam to take € deposits off punters. I will not be setting up such a business. Only possible way...

It seems most posts on this forum are USA owners of REX models. A quick question: are there many owners of (2019 to 2021 version) i3S 120 AH ? are there any Europeans on this forum who wish for 960 Km range ? are there any EU specific forums ? Thanks

many thanks for the advice that for a 8-to-10 year old i3S, I might need to replace the motor etc. The car bodywork is perfect & shiny-as-new after 4-years. It will be disappointing to accept ALL cars need to be replaced with new ones minimum every ten years. I need 1,000 European Owners of i3S...

1. The German firm Lion Smart already built improved battery specifically to replace our BMW i3S 120 AH battery. Thir website confirms they bought battery manufacturing tools & licence from BMW. Lion Smart Gmbh opened a new factory Aug 2023. 2. I am in correspondence with a different German...

For my 2019 i3S 120 AH, I hope to get heat pump working again. By 2027 hope to get solid state battery replacement to give 960 Kms or 600 miles range. I hope two German companies I am talking with make this possible soon.

For 3 years, this 2019 bmw i3S 120 AH heat pump worked great. Pre-condition made car interior very warm in winter. last 2 months it stopped heating the car, but the heat pump fan works and pushes out very cold air
