I have posted this elsewhere in forums, but here goes. I had the i3 w/rex for 2 years and now am driving the Bolt. For me there is no comparison, the Bolt is superior in almost all ways except styling. The pick up/regen of the Bolt is heads and shoulders above the i3, and the additional hand...

Well whether they do this or not a car that does not have the red break lights (indicating clearly you are not stopped) is a very good design. Just because someone doesn't notice them once doesn't mean they should not be there for the other 1000 times. Another "interesting" decision by BMW...

So here in Maryland my i3/Rex lease is about up. I have not been thrilled with the car, but after test driving the Bolt I decided I could live with another i3 for another 2 years as a commute car (ride and range of Bolt is superior, the interior cheap plastic and design inferior). So I tried to...

Although there is some truth to that the cost of repair of i3/i8 is still much higher than other more expensive cars (like Audis and other BMWs). But a lot of that has to do with the fact that these cars have much lower numbers on the road, the parts are not necessarily common and a lot of...

Not sure what the necessity of the extraneous commentary is here exactly. I am a professional computer system hardware and software engineer. So if I have "brought on" something on myself it is probably from a great deal of knowledge rather than someones "popular opinion I learned on the...

Sounds easy until you add in the time to download VMs, set up the code, and then ultimately you still need to get a key and probably pay for that. After you add all that in the lazy way out is to let someone else do it for you!

I used this and he is great. You can pretty much pick and choose anything that can be set: http://www.codemycar.com

I keep my windshields almost spotless. And no sensors are not impacted by dirts unless you are talking about thick coat of mud that would also obscure view. Btw most windshields with new wiper blades are rather clean when it rains. This is simply an engineering failure. No need to come up with...

It would be instructive to read the complete context of the posts. It is not a sensitivity problem, it is a detection problem. Whether set to low or high sensitivity the rain sense algorithm gets easily confused and either thinks there is a lot more rain or does not detect rain on the...

I think you are missing my point, it's not about race cars and cornering. I do not drive my i3 like I drive my sport cars. I3 is about as far as you can get from a race car as possible. When regen/single pedal driving is used to decelerate like brakes turning the wheel SHOULD NOT disengage...

I'll clarify: if I have regen engaged (slowing down) and come to a turn when the wheel is turned the regen breaking STOPS which means on an angle the speed no longer slows down OR will start speeding up on a hill. This behavior would be equivalent to breaks cutting out when you turn the wheel...

i3an: I will give the i3 all the due it deserves. It is a great balance of electric range with a REX that is great for extending and using the electric car to its max. I switched from a Leaf and rejected other cars because of the i3/Rex combo. Also the interior design, fit/finish it superior to...

Seriously? You don't like his reasoned complaints and so you attack him? His points are all valid. I also do not buy/lease a $50k car then think it's ok that a basic intermittent sensing wiper can't get it right when EVERY OTHER car I have seems to have mastered this basic function. To point out...

Obviously there is nothing you are supposed to do for the REX to work, except having gas. And the drive error is not from user behavior. The only thing I have noticed with the REX is that if it is cold outside when the engine first starts it can not run at full power and the battery level does...

My experience with preconditioning is that the range displayed is still completely not on target, even with preconditioning. There is actually a bug for me that during the preconditioning window the range will jump by 10 miles, then settle back to what it was after preconditioning is complete...

Sorry if I missed it but is this i3 BEV and standard battery pack?

Not sure if its the same but when they updated my i3/rex for engine mount and control software it reset the coding to use the full tank (along with other codes).

There are two display modes, classic and modern could that have changed?

Yes, assuming Amtrak doesn't break down, is on time, no rail issues or cows on the rails.... :)

Efficiency is missing, but if you look VERY CAREFULLY you may find the hidden preconditioning timer setting. It is at the bottom of the remote commands and when you select that it goes to the timer page. Everything is much more obfuscated and small, but hey at least they left room to constantly...
