    WARNING: Do not crash your i3... Eternity to repair

    I'm lucky? FYI I'm STILL waiting as of now, 06/16/2015, so it's been nearly 9 weeks and the last update I got was an ESTIMATED (3rd time they've told me it would be done for sure) completion date of June 26th. That'll be 10 weeks just to replace a bumper and front axle. Im sorry you had to wait...

    WARNING: Do not crash your i3... Eternity to repair

    You know this is not how things should work... I'm spending a lot of money to have this car and I'm not getting what I'm paying for for months on end... "It took this guy 2 months to get his i3 repaired" is NOT a good excuse. BMW released this car, they should have been prepared to have parts...

    WARNING: Do not crash your i3... Eternity to repair

    Hi everyone, On Saturday April 18th I got into a car crash with my i3 and the front fender came off. It was not a big crash, it was at about 10 mph. So I had my car towed to the nearest BMW service center. It is now nearing June and my i3 is STILL at the bodyshop and all I'm getting from them...

    winter range Northeastern US

    Unfortunately that's the normal range. I'm in Washington, D.C. and I got mine in November when the weather wasn't that cold yet. At that time I was getting about 70 to 90 miles per full charge. When the weather started getting to the 40s and below, that's where I started seeing the range go down...

    What range do you all get on the pure electric i3???

    Thanks for all your feedback. I just tried putting in more air in the tires, since the car's PSI sensors said 32 in the front and 37 in the back... apparently they should be 33 front and 41 back. BUT! When I used the mechanical tire pressure gauge while filling the tires, I got them to where...

    What range do you all get on the pure electric i3???

    I got the pure-electric i3. I LOVE the car, it fits me, it has everything I'd ever want. But the battery is not what I expected based on other owners' reviews and EPA's "realistic" 81-mile range. I'm getting about 50 miles per charge, despite all the reviews I've read of people getting a typical...

    DC SAE not working

    I went to a "freedom station" last night in Virginia from Nrg evgo and I couldn't fit the plug into the car's two ports. The plug was just a single round plug, and not two... Is there an adapter I could get? They never told me about this at the dealership... They said I could DC fast charge it...

    Is this a Good Lease on a Giga Rex in Los Angeles?

    Look at my post (very last one at the bottom). That doesn't seem like a good deal compared to what I got. I'm not sure if this varies by state, but as long as your federal income tax liability is equal to or greater than $7,500, you should receive $7,500 from the IRS, and BMW will raise the...

    Is this a good deal?? 24 month lease...

    I got the i3!!! It has the Harman/Kardon sound, tech package, parking package, Giga trim, heated seats, and DC SAE fast charger. I got it for $399/month for 24 months and only $2,000 down. It's like everything I'd ever want and more out of a car :) Last night I tried going to a DC fast...

    Is this a good deal?? 24 month lease...

    Thanks for the thorough answer. It would be for 10,000 miles per year. But something I just discovered is the absurdly high premium to insure the i3... Geico insured my previous car with 330 hp and a top speed of 150+ mph for $110/month. Why is the i3 $270/month????

    Is this a good deal?? 24 month lease...

    Hi everyone, I'm seriously considering leasing the i3 for 24 months. I'm in the United States in Virginia close to Washington, D.C. The best offer I got was an i3 with the Giga World trim, Technology Package, Parking Assistant Package, Heated Front Seats, DC SAE Fast Charger, and the...
