I had a terrific buying experience with Anthony Razzouki at Encinitas BMW which is just north of San Diego. He offered me the best price in all of California, got me exactly the car I wanted and treated me like a VIP. The dealership is so good that he has people coming in from as far away as...

If you buy it from a dealer who has it in stock it will need to be fixed eventually. They all will.

IConcierge just told me my car was released to the trucker late this afternoon. I learned the news before the dealer Now we'll see how long it takes them to travel two hundred miles. I've been wanting this car since before they turned the assembly line on.

Will all i3's need KLE updates? My car has been held at the dock awaiting the repairs. Meanwhile an exact duplicate built in August is I'm told by another dealer not on the recall list. Can anybody explain this?

I am awaiting delivery of my car. And spending way too much time on the forum ;) Can anyone tell me how to download the manual? I'm aware this is been discussed in the past but the links don't seem to work.

I found an article about the people BMW has at the port checking out the vehicles. My car came in to the main West Coast port which is about 40 miles north of Los Angeles. The article said they have 40 or 50 people working there. Not many. I'm sure Beverly Hills BMW has that number just in the...

What is KLE replacement?

I am on the cusp of closing on a lease for a Giga World Rex and would like your advice. I had an extended test drive -- 3 days-- and fell in love with the car. I have been driving a 528i for 14 years. I was driving my daughter to 5th grade in the i3 and for the first time we heard the birds...
