    4G TCU retrofit update (it's positive)

    If you are unfamiliar with my saga, in response to the 3G sunset notice I tasked my local dealership to acquire and retrofit a 4G TCU into my 2014 i3.

    Wiring parking mode Dash Cam

    So, after witnessing a rather bizarre collision where the vehicle in front of me was struck even though they initially avoided the incoming vehicle I decided it is high time I stopped procrastinating and install a dash cam. I have decided on a Blackvue 2ch with power magic ultra battery...

    I had a 3G to 4G TCU upgrade to prove a point.

    Replace AUX-in/USB module

    Looks like I managed to break one of the pins in the USB port in the center console. Found the replacement part easily enough as it seems to be a common part. Problem is, I have no idea how to remove the module. Talking to the dealership reveals the need for hours of labor to take apart the...

    Recommendations for donut spare tire?

    Finally took delivery of my i3 yesterday. I'm looking to get a donut spare tire to put in the car. Since one is not made specifically for the i3 can the more experienced drivers out there recommend one? Maybe one made for one of the other BWM models? Thanks in advance!
