Surge, the car isn't the issue. Most of the people on this forum bought the car because they really like / love the car. It wasn't based on some complicated rationalization of the range of the car, .... I bought the car cause it is fun. Its a fun car to drive. The car stuff is great...

It also happened to me briefly. Seems like a rock got caught between the brake rotor and a sheet metal shroud (not sure what the proper term is for that part) on the inside part of the brake system. Luckily my rock cleared out after going backward and forward hard. It's a really bad sound and...

Took delivery in June. Check engine light went on day 1 with car. It was a hot day; 90+ degrees. - First software patch installed in July/August. Check engine light went off after patch. - Took car in for my second software update after BMW called. They performed the fuel pressure sensor...

I dropped off my car this week for the software update. In addition to the software update they told me there was a recall for the gas tank pressure sensor. It showed up on the invoice as "Campaign3" - "Recall F16 12 14 Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor" part number 16-14-7-426-661.

Check the occasional use charger in the fronk. It does rattle around and make noise if its not cushioned in a bag or something.

I just got the "BMW I3" plates in Connecticut.

Anyone else find that you can't leave personal items on the passenger seat without setting off the seat belt alarm? Anything heavier than an iPad sets off the seat belt alarm. I've got the iPad 4. Perhaps I need to get an iPad Air instead so I don't set off the seat belt alarm, otherwise I'll...

In the US I'd stick with Clipper Creek or Aerovironment. Clipper Creek produces the guts of the occasional use cordset you get with the car and Delphi uses the same plastic molds as Clipper Creek. The HCS unit is a workhorse for level 2. Aerovironment also makes solid units. The Turbo Cord...

Not sure if these do different things? I thought precondition at departure setting preconditions the cabin. When set, it lights up a icon on the temperature setting dial. Is the activate comfort climate something different? The set departure time instructions are right below it in the...

The accessory floor mats may actually match the Mega & Tera interiors better than they do the Giga interior. Either way, in retrospect I would have preferred black mats (Weathertech, Tera carpet, ...). I couldn't keep up with the light colored Giga carpet mats.

Here are some photos of the BMW accessory mats. https://www.flickr.com/gp/watson_collins/5j5tu2

That is really cool. I'm jealous. :mrgreen: Hope I get one in the mail also.

Just picked up the BMW mats. The good They are better quality than pictured. Definitely easier to clean and more durable than the standard mats. BMW i logo. The bad There is a slight gloss finish to them. Also the color of them is more gray than tan. If your really picky I don't think...

Not sure the VT DC Fast charger station works with the i3. Based on the pics it looks like a CHAdeMO charger. http://www.vermontbiz.com/news/july/high-speed-electric-vehicle-charging-station-unveiled-red-hen-bakery

Right now there are lots more CHADeMO and Tesla DC Fast chargers. Tough to spend $700 for an option that really isn't useable right now. How about making an adapter that allows an i3 with the SAE fast charger port work with the Tesla or CHAdeMO DC chargers?

I got that same call on Thursday. Funny thing was my car was at the dealer being reprogrammed while BMW called. Asked the BMW USA guy and the dealer if this was a temporary patch or the a real fix. Both said this was the real fix. Was told I won't have to bring it back again to fix the CEL...

Check engine software fix is being rolled out. I had an appointment with the dealer today to update the software. Then I got a call from BMW USA telling me to schedule an appointment. Dealer did an IRAP session with BMW USA to reprogram the car. Dealer said they needed to purchase a high...
