bitttersweet. There were folks reporting last year that a previous version of ISTA allowed to affect the kap. wonder if this is what they did? I would keep checking to see if the kap stays the same.

the article that showcased this car back a couple years ago identified these as handmade by that designer, bmw never made them iirc. they were a one off piece.

Can anyone confirm if the headunit in the HK hi-fi is Head-Unit High 2 658310 - BMW (65-12-5-A08-177) ?

i have some small rock nick issues, but nothing that probably can't be touched up with a pen kit. BTW what is corroding?

maybe I haven't learned the character recog well enough.. i've used most of the stuff you've described, with the 8 way scrolling being the most used, i didn't know it had multimedia playback functionality, i'll have to look into that more.

You would probably be more successful on the bimmercode forums and the "reporting" back here just to give others an idea of what you learned. while i like the aesthetics of the newer idrive ocntroller ( the round thing, right), the touch function is really tough to use.

A i3S owner has fitted wider nokian R3 winters on his 431 style 20". Folks have fit them on their i3's with spacers and flares IIRC. The rims are available for sale from BMW, not cheap, but not custom prices earlier. A spare set of winter tires in cold weather is recommended if you have the...

The inside of the rim should have the number, where it says 5.5Jx19, there should be soon a trailing IS number. that is the ET IIRC

HD checkbox is found IIRC when you select the option button while in the radio mode.

Is it the “air duct”

So its just a “wall” or screen?

lastly, the wider 20" 431 style rims have a larger patchable area due to the them being wider. Additionally, folks have install even wider non ecopia tires (Potenzas) on the 431s (maybe 10-20mms wider depending on rim).

I am not aware of any typical 18s available to the i3 vehicle (RV?). Advantage is aesthetic, road feel response and handling. wheel diameter is similar for 20&19. 19&20 differences are mostly sidewall ratio, tire compound availability, tire choice, rim width choices, staggered, square IIRC...

There is a tuning chip that advertises it modifies torque.

I believe its a $400 diagnostic test for fun and also if the battery health is suspect and turns out to be good.
