    As you switch from I Remote to BMW connected app...

    Beware. At least on iOS. As they are phasing out I Remote and forcing connected app I started using the connected app. And I was seeing my phone battery plummet during the day I became suspicious. So I turned off all the guidance and "high resolution" setting in the connected drive. And that...

    Test drove a 2017 Rex w/extended range - question on Lease

    My lease on the 2015 i3 w/Rex is ending soon-ish and I am already looking for my next electric commuter car. So I finally test drove the 2017 extended range Rex i3. My impressions: 1) The car, whether because of weight of battery or tweak of suspension, is MUCH LESS bouncy then my i3. In fact...

    Any i3 owners upgrade from 2014-15 to 2017?

    I am trying to find out if they made any changes to the suspension and/steering response that you can tell. I haven't test driven one yet and would like to trade to current large battery for long term or move on. Was hoping for a suspension retune but my dealer is not aware of any changes. Main...

    BMW revamps "i" electric car division to focus on self-drivi

    I wonder if this is accurate and if yes what does that mean for future i3 development? If it is true it is a shame... http://www.reuters.com/article/us-bmw-electric-idUSKCN0YO1YZ

    BMW to convert all cars to electric variants within 10 years

    Great read, so apparently the i3/i8 ideas will be spread to all BMW cars within 10 years. http://www.nasdaq.com/article/bmw-all-models-electric-within-decade-20150629-00597 "The new range of cars could be driven by separate electric motors powering the front and rear wheels, with a small...

    THIS CAR SUCKS! - HAD IT 10 MONTHS, JUST GOT 42 MILES!

    How did you manage that? I'd say that is almost impossible no matter how you drive. 70 miles is pretty typical with normal driving.

    User ignore list?

    Anyone know if there are any options to add users/posts to an ignore list for this forum? It is a handy feature in a lot of discussion forums, and is a great tool to just eliminate posts from any user that is considered not helpful.

    Speed up on small hops?

    Sorry if this has been discussed before but I have now noticed a couple of times that if I am going over a small bump or a drop in the road when the car suspension lifts a little bit the car has a sudden short burst acceleration. It stops as soon as the weight settles back down. Anyone else...

    Really want to recommend CodeMyCar

    Hi everyone: This may already be posted somewhere in the past (can't find it with the "search tools"). I am fairly technical but didn't want to deal with the steps to code the i3. So I had Okee from CodeMyCar do the coding remotely. Nothing but positive to report, very knowledgeable, quick...

    Seriously starting to dislike the i3-please skip if disagree

    I am starting this thread to get feedback and help, so if you love your i3, think it is great, want to explain why I'm wrong please just skip. I am NOT trying to start a war, but am looking for genuine feedback from other owners who may share some of the sentiment and maybe get some help with...

    Jumping range reading while parked

    Hi there Relatively new to i3, still learning about the cars "personality." But what I am seeing is that when the car is just parked the range guess jumps around when checked by app. I understand range is adjusted by last 18 miles, but why does it jump up and down when Parked? Louis also...

    Hello everyone: This is my first attempt to lease a car ever (buy many, never lease). I have read through various posts here and I need help. I see people are getting good lease deals for 2014 i3s with Rex, and I can find very good deals on buying them ($11K under MSRP). But I am having no luck...

    Advice from current i3 owners who owned a Nissan Leaf

    Hi there: Sorry if this is redundant but I could not get the search to work no matter how hard I tried! :D I am considering switching from my Leaf to the i3 w/Rex. I am very familiar with the strength/weaknesses of BEVs, Rex, etc (currently own three electric cars). The question I have for...
