I can see your point...but road noise is just that. My old Mercedes had two inch thick padding in the floorboards. t BMW has chosen to keep the weight down. My Mercedes was a heavy beast. The noise is more noticeable because there's none of those other mechanical noises to hide the road noise...

Like most of you, I watch my electric range estimated distance very closely. I assumed it was accurate and that I'm getting 125 miles per charge on my 2017 i3. The last two charges I reset the trip odometer and was pleasantly surprised. Last charge I had 133 miles on the trip odometer and...

Mine didn't work for a few while the system was down a while back. Sometimes things just happen, life's tough...I drive BMW.

I'm planning on making a charge station and mounting it next to my driveway. My i3 sits outside the gate and I want to protect it from the weather and from theft. I'm planning on a brick design, sort of like a mail box stand on steroids. Has anyone else done this and what codes/permits did you...

The steering wheel adjusts both up and down and in and out. There is a lever to the left of the steering wheel on my 2017 i3, and both adjust at the same time. I'm a mere mortal at six foot, both my 4'11" wife and I fit fine.

Has anyone found a supplier of seat covers that fit these tall i3 front seats?

That's brilliant, I've been keeping my RFID in my wallert

I appreciate the input. I live in Central California (think Fresno), where it's 115F in the summer and 40F in the winter. Cloth seats would be more comfortable, but I think leather will wear better. The wife likes to eat and drink in the car on trips, so with leather a simple wipe up is all that...

Join the club. Fresno had REV's for $299 and Bev's for $199 ,this was around Thanksgiving. I saw an ad recently for $139 in Southern California with 5K down, so it'll be about 239 a month real cost. I'm not interested in a lease, but was quoted as high as 650 a month. I get the feeling that the...

So the recall is off. I'm assuming the fix is a software issue where the car is more aggressive about buckling up. Not allowing the car to drive if he occupants aren't buckled. Does anyone know?

How do you negotiate a good deal a on a new i3? I've been in contact with 3 dealers and they all want top dollar for last years models. Been waiting for days for pricing. None of them will quote a price, only payments, then I have to do the math to find out it's all MSRP. Then they tell me they...

There are also PG & E and So Cal Edison rebates. Spend some time Googling and you may find some others! San Joaquin Valley Air District also has a rebate, I'm hoping it's in addition to the California rebate.

I think I need a 2017 for the extended battery range. I'm tempted to wait for the 2018 with and even bigger range, but I need a car soon. I see used 2017 going for as low as 33k, but I want a Fluid Black and they seem to be next to impossible to find. New units are discounted up to 11k off...

Now that the recall is over, I'm just about ready to pull the trigger on a 2017 Rex i3. I am set on adaptive cruise and auto wipers. As I move forward what options have you found that you can't live without? On a second note, what trim level do you have and why did you choose it?
