I'm excited for you, Pam. I too just got my first i3, a 2017 with 25k miles! I'd love to hear your story of why you wanted one and how you found the right one.

Happy Tuesday! I don't know what the protocols for sharing contact info are on the Forum, but I'd love to be in touch by email or phone if that's allowable. I had a chance to buy a late 80s Euro manual 7-series recently and seriously considered it. I know it would be a great car, but I just...

It's very likely it's the same car - VIN WBY1Z8C36HV893965. CarFax showed purchased 9/18 in Baton Rouge. Only unusual maintenance was tailgate/trunk lock and rear compartment lock replaced 7/19. As you may have noted above, rear tires were very iffy at Carvana delivery, and they refused to do...

Oh, wow! It's so good to hear from you. Yes, I'm pretty sure I have your car. Mine was purchased in Baton Rouge and moved to NO, with the only unusual repair replacement of the rear hatch closure/lock. If it is yours, thank you for taking such great care of it. I promise to do the same. In...

I didn't want a dark color, especially not black, since I wanted the contrast with the black front and back. At first, I thought I wanted white, for a "Panda" look, but when I test drove one in this color, I fell in love. That one didn't work out, but Bitsy is far better, with low miles and...

Finally got a decent photo of Bitsy's side. Of course, she looks just like every other Protonic Blue i3. More significant is my new ID photo to the left. I bought a decal with her name. Very difficult to get a decent photo of it on that mirrored rear hatch!

100% agree! I've made three long distance road trips to buy cars over the years. One from CA, one from CO, one from NH, all to bring "the right" BMW back to sunny Florida. Great vacations, always after having had the cars checked thoroughly by a trusted, third-party source before committing to...

Yes, there were plenty nationally, but I was iffy about paying a high shipping tab. I was also picky about year, mileage and color. Not many locally. Ended up paying shipping from Louisiana to Florida.

Good for you! The hunt will be fun and possibly challenging. I just acquired an i3. Shopping in the SE US, especially since I wanted the $4k federal tax credit, wasn't easy. Would have been simple if I lived on the west coast.

Yes, I agree, I need photos! A friend took one and texted it to me, but when I saved it, my computer doesn't recognize the format (her Apple World vs my Google World). I'll get on that task soon.

After about a month of searching, and learning a lot by reading your posts, I found a 2017 i3 REx via Carvana. Protonic blue (one of my preferred colors), so I'm naming her Bitsy Blue. She was in Louisiana, while I'm in Florida, so I had to pay a non-refundable shipping fee. One owner, 25,000...

Followed up with IQ today and they reiterated that they're not sourcing any BMWs, not just the i3, due to pandemic production issues. Offered to sell me a Tesla. That's a great '04 MINI. I had a red '04 Cooper. It was destroyed in late '05 by a saltwater flood from Hurricane Wilma. I'm...

I'm in the market. Please post photos (I saw none) and detailed information about the car's options, etc. I too am doubtful about you offering the $4k credit, but maybe there's a way. I'm running into dealers who know nothing about it and don't want to pursue it.

I tried to sign up with IQ Autos, but they said they were no longer sourcing i3 because they're out of warranty. That didn't make any sense to me. How did you manage to sign up? I'd love a '21 just coming off lease.

Thanks for the tip!

I'm a longtime BMW driver and BMW CCA member. (In order: '72 2002tii, '81 528i, '95 525i, '04 MINI Cooper, '88 528e). Five years ago, when I was replacing the '88 as a daily driver, I wanted to buy an i3. A Bimmer nut friend steered me away. Now he's on board, and I'm searching for one. I'm in...
