I'm running out of my owners choice in a week and need to make a decision that will hold me through for a few years, expecting to buy or lease a model 3 or whatever is available at the time. I can buy my current car (basest 2014 i3 BEV with only heated seats as an option) for ~$19000 (total...

Is each one the lease payment? Or what the lease payment would be without the MSD adjustment? (In other words, if the money factor buy down drops the lease payment below a $50 increment, does the MSD go down as well? Or stay at what the original cost would have been?

My i3 BEV owners choice is coming due in January/February, so I've been exploring options. Unsurprisingly, the balloon payment/residual is way more than the value of the car so buying it out isn't an option. Here's what I've gathered: - there are occasionally 'pull ahead' programs to get you...

I just had an alert on my phone this morning about my charge about to complete, but this almost never happens (like this is the first time I remember it happening, though there was another time before I saw a (1) on the app icon that I wasn't sure how or what caused it) Anybody have any clue...

Unfortunately, I moved parking garages at the same time the weather got cold, but in my new spot, the same brand of charger seems like it's taking much longer to charge. (BEV from 50% now takes 3 hours) It seems like my charging was shorter than that before. Are longer charge times normal...

I'd love to see an icon on the display somewhere that indicates the current status of the brake light. I tend to one pedal drive, and I'm always wondering how that is looking to people behind me, or if I'm being a 'bad driver' by not having the brake light on at stops, etc.

When I sent my car to the shop, my iRemote app started giving me 'timeout' and asked to fill out the username and password again. (I don't know if it's related, but it seemed to be) Anyways, it had long since left my memory that the username & password had to be typed in all caps. I would...

I have it set to 60 deg, max, and it can't combat a mild Texas day at 81deg outside, even after 30 minutes on the road. My car was in a garage all day, always shaded. Does the i3 just have a crappy AC, or does it sound like something's broken?

Anybody else had issues with the seat belt warning going off while driving? If I stop, and power cycle the car, it seems to fix it. It may have just been stopping entirely. I MIGHT have had something on the passenger seat that was a few pounds, but I took it off and tha tdidn't seem to fix...

Does BMW recommend against doing this? I arrived at a charger today at the same time as another i3 owner, and said "do you want me to plug you in after I'm done, or you me?" and he said "oh no, you shouldn't plug in while locked" and that was the end of it. I googled a little bit, but couldn't...

I miss the following things from my previous car: - distance THIS trip (i.e. from when the car turns on) - time of THIS trip (i.e. from when the car turns on) - the current time always prominently displayed. I wish I could also see: - rate of charge in KW (I have no idea if the whole system is...

Any suggestions, comments on the home charger/EVSE you have installed? I know I need a 30A to charge as fast as the i3 can manage, but might want to get a 40A one for 'future proofing', though that might be a silly idea. I want to get one with a plug, so I don't have to have an electrician...

base model, only 'heated seats' as an option. Apparently, this one was a loss leader, as they offered it at $1500 down, $199/mo for 2yr & 20K miles, with $350 acquisition fee at turn in. With the Texas $2500 alternative fuel vehicle rebate... ...total cost of ownership over two years...
