Update for anyone curious: Apparently this is an unheard of fault and the part isn't even available and will need to be "manufactured" or whatever. Could be 6 months. I have the car for 24 months from last November, so we'll see if it gets fixed before I turn it back in. At least the door will...

Like the title says, I went to exit the vehicle a couple of days ago and heard a loud "SNAP" when I pulled the door handle. I noticed a little while later that it no longer sits flush with the door and feels 'loose.' It's a pretty new '19 i3s REx with 5k miles on the clock. I have an appointment...

robthebold, When I had a '17 with the sunroof, it wasn't carbon fiber. My new '19 s without the sunroof is though.

I would echo what the others posted. I had a non-S REx ('17 model) for 3 years and it was perfect. My *only* complaint about that car was the high beams. I live in a rural area and the pre-'18 refresh high beams were a JOKE. I replaced them with something brighter but they still sucked. And...

I only leased my i3s REx for 24 months. While I am really enjoying it, this is our second i3. I'll be turning it back in Nov '21 and I'm not super confident that there will be many other acceptable EV options here in the US at that time. Not wanting to do a third i3. I really like the look of...

Thought you guys might like to see some comparos. I live in Arkansas, and we don't have any state-level incentives. I recently leased an i3s REx that MSRP'd for $55k. The dealer gave me a $2k discount, then a further $10,500 combination from other incentives. I'm leasing it for 24 months and...

Guess it's time to get Bimmercode and an adapter.

Honestly I'm finding that even the low setting is too hot after just a few minutes. I guess maybe I'll appreciate them on those rare (and getting rarer) truly cold days here in the deep south.

I have a 2019 i3s REx with Deka so it has the cloth seats. Holy cow, the heated seats are ridiculous! I had a '17 i3 with Tera and the leather seats were heated, but not like this. Anyone else with this set up find that their heated seats are a little too....exuberantly heated?

I had a '17 REx for 3 years and just recently took delivery of a '19 s REx. For the aesthetics of the exterior refresh, the new iDrive, and the actual (and amazing!) high beams, I would recommend opting for the new car. I loved driving the '17 for three years, but the new car is all that plus a...

Okay, well hopefully there won't be any major changes! 8-) Speaking from experience, I came from a Capparis White i3 to a Melbourne Red i3s with the black wheels, and omg....I'm blown away by the change in aesthetic. My CA threw in tinting and I requested him to go as dark as possible, and he...

I didn't know BMW was already producing 2020s. I order a 2019 in September and took delivery of it last weekend. BMWUSA still only has 2019s, so I'm guessing you're elsewhere?

I picked up my new 2019 i3s REx this past weekend and on the drive home I noticed the 'dead pedal' where you might rest your left foot has some flexibility if you push on it toward the outside. I don't remember the '17 i3 that I recently turned in doing that. It doesn't make a noise or anything...

I have always thought a low-range BEV would be a great first vehicle for a high schooler. Little to no maintenance, inability to travel more than necessary, no fuel expense, generally safer than many ICE cars, and it would teach the responsibility of remembering to charge. The fact that they're...
