I asked my dealer at the time when I was considering REx, and I got the following: 1) Service interval for REx is every 6 months. 2) REx uses synthetic oil 3) Service interval for BEV is every 2 years, primarily for brake fluid change + cabin air filter + various checks.

RoboBMR, I'm sorry to hear about the challenges with your car. Can you please clarify which model you have - is it a REx? or BEV?

While this would indeed be a cool feature, I doubt I would want to give up the even cooler looking super slim single piece front seats with the integrated headrest... Between VW Golf front seats and BMW i3 front seats, I would pick the i3 ones... Just my 2 cents.

Can I ask where you are seeing these week numbers from? Is this just for North American dealers? Or is there a web site? I got both the production number and the target production week (which was supposed to be week 14) from a local San Francisco Bay area dealer within about 2 weeks after I...

I have a launch edition BEV on order with production number in 070xx range. Was supposed to go into production in week 14. It is week 17 now, and the status still shows "order documented, no confirmed production date yet". What is the highest number that has been confirmed to reach "in...
