    i3 Tires - A disaster

    I have the same situation but its my passenger side front and rear tires that got bubbles after 1 year and 10k miles of driving here in socal.

    My 2016 i3 Rex Darth Vader

    Nice car! What has been your experience on the handling with the spacers and drop? The stock ride is surprisingly decent given the height and skinny tires, but I'm wondering how much of a difference spacers/springs would make. TIA!

    3D Printed Phone Holder in accessory slot

    Any chance you could make a cupholder similar to the oem one but about an inch larger in diameter? There's a place I get drinks from that has abnormally fat cups that don't fit into the regular cupholders :cry:

    Opening Key FOB

    Hi all, I've tried this on both a comfort access and non comfort access key but cannot seem to get the back cover open. According to the directions, it is a pretty simple two step process of taking out the valet key and popping off the back plate but either I'm not using enough force or...

    Carseats and the back seat

    We have a 7 month old a getting him in and out of the rear facing carseat is pretty easy...but we were coming from a R56 Mini Cooper :lol: I will second the comment about the awkward positioning of the rear doors in tight spaces though...even without a carseat it can be tough to maneuver out...
