    Oil change in REX

    Is it known what rpm the REX is running when it is charging?

    How about going to a totally different rim size?

    would you still have enough clearance? for all of the stuff for your brakes etc?

    Why BMW Dealers so greedy?

    This unfortunate focus shift was precisely what the new boss, Oliver Zipse, had to do to mark his territory as the top dog when he replaced Harald Krüger in August 1919. I note that Krüger was replaced "after he declined to be considered for contract renewal in 2020." according to his Wikipedia...

    Why BMW Dealers so greedy?

    Even in a 3rd choice color (Grey in this case), this find https://www.\/710-2com/certified-preowned-search/detail/WBY8P6C04M7H51355 would be almost perfect, but when I add about $3,000 in transportation along with an unknown amount for an inspection by a third party (and I have no idea how one...

    Why BMW Dealers so greedy?

    I, too, am searching for a 2020- to 2021- i3s BEV with the options I want. It has been a bit of a hard slog. Three times, I have been late with the call to the BMW dealer that has had one come off a 3- or 4-year lease. I just keep refreshing the search pages at BMW used cars and a few other used...

    My bmw app not showing anything but location…help!

    I think I read that it was due to an upper management change, replacing someone who was a champion for the i3 and i8 with someone who was perhaps putting his stamp on things by sidelining the pure BEV side of BMW. I'm just repeating what I read somewhere. My best guess is that it was on the...

    New to forum. Looking to buy late this year.

    Welcome to the hunt. You are not alone. This is the thread where I have been getting good advice on my own search for a 2021 i3s...

    Delayed charging Debacle

    Thanks Art, I know I. can come here for the facts from you and the rest of the regulars. I wonder what BMW sells the "Flexible Fast Charger" for. Although it is included with all the EVs it sells today, it is not priced on its "Build Your ..." configurations. Edit: it looks like it is between...

    Delayed charging Debacle

    As someone who is just on the hunt for a 2021 i3s, I am reading many of the threads here to get a feel for things to look out for and to inform my search process. I understand that Jackobite is in the UK, so his issues will not be mine. However, the subject of home interface devices between a...

    Last i3 Sold in the US...

    This is fascinating Of course, the details of this transaction will be very interesting if they come to light. I recall back in the late 1960s hearing of a NOS (new old stock) prewar Packard being found at a Packard dealer location that had just shut its doors during the war and never reopened...

    Someone else searching for an 2021 i3 S fully loaded with the all the options that were offered BMW as a part of “ their last year’ program.

    Thanks in advance. My hunt goes on for a 2021 BMW i3 Sport BEV Tera World (possibly Giga World, if the wool blend fabric between the leather, is not torn or stained I do like the brighter look it provides, but the full-leather seats in my 20-year-old, MINI are fine ) Candidates are found, but...

    Someone else searching for an 2021 i3 S fully loaded with the all the options that were offered BMW as a part of “ their last year’ program.

    Well, I have been running my (admittedly somewhat weakened by advancing age) Google-fu skills on this problem for only a few weeks since I was introduced to the i3 by a mechanic friend in February. I told him that my search would enable me to remain independent as long as my health allowed. I...

    Is there a “Bently” shop manual sold for the i3? I bought one for my MINI Cooper S when I got the car 20 years ago the $60 price has been replayed many times in the absence of such a tome what do you folks recommend? Is there a Haynes manual? Nope just went to their website and nothing about any i3

    Aux Fuel Mod

    Was that copper paint on it a BMW option? I have not seen one that color in the 150 or so that seem to be for sale at an given time looks like a Tera World version but they have not stated the year or I have missed it.

    Aux Fuel Mod

    The famous Rich Rebuilds along with junk resurrection Sam Crack are doing this race tank in the frunk in this video but that sure does not look like a salvage $3,500 i3 to me.

    Audio Pedestrian Warning Sound

    Still, it is more math than I can handle these days. In just a few years I expect to be back to counting on my fingers and toes if I can't ask Siri.

    Scary catastrophic tire failure (not on an i3)

    Ten years ago, these were quite popular items on YouTube, mainly sourced from Russian and Eastern European truck dash cameras. In the 1964 time frame, I had a fuel tank truck blow a steer tire and veer into the median on the interstate in Montana right in front of my jeep, and a massive chunk...

    Audio Pedestrian Warning Sound

    First, Thank you, eNATE, for digging up this multi-page/screen full of regulations. Then, do all BMW 'i' cars have the same sound, or is that sound used on all plug-in electric cars from BMW made after that date? Do they have to change that sound for cars sold in different countries? I am just...

    I still am coming up empty on the "Edition RoadStyle" feature. BMW Seems to have created dozens of sometimes eccentric special editions in other parts of the world, but I have not found very much on i3 cars in North America marketing programs of this sort.

    Audio Pedestrian Warning Sound

    Is the actual sound made defined or only something like a range of frequencies and how loud it must be at a set distance?
