    Adaptive Cruise Control not working in cold weather

    I edited this to be more accurate for such a fundamental feature of the car. I would say that I have at least a 30% failure rate, between the sun being "too hot" and the camera overheating after being parked (I live in Portland, we aren't known for sunshine)...to inexplicable failure to operate...

    Carseats and the back seat

    I realize this thread hasn't been updated in a while, but I want to help anyone else that ends up with an i3 without testing car seat first. We have found the NUNA Pippa works perfectly well for an infant, though you will have to all "putting in" and "getting out" front the opposite side of...

    I want the REX...do I need it?

    I edited out a few statements as I am only responding to these. A German Shepherd is _not_ going to fit in the very back, that just isn't happening unless you like to fold your dog into a duffle bag. I have a 60# lab mix, it would be impossible to get her behind the back seat. Perhaps a...

    Adaptive Cruise Control not working in cold weather

    I'd argue that this is actually a symptom of a car that implements half-assed technology that fails to account for actual real world use case and operating conditions. The entire "adaptive cruise" on the i3 and its many defects should make us all wonder if the "safety" features that rely on the...

    Anybody RENEWING their Sirius XM Contract?

    I guess I am a minority, though I will say that XM was superior to Sirius and it hasn't ever been the same post merger...but I've been an XM subscriber since somewhere around 2001 or 2002. Sadly Sirius killed the most unique XM stations and many long time XM DJs lost their jobs post merger. The...

    Carseats and the back seat

    Update on my testing, I just received my Diono Rainier and tried to install it in the i3 as a rear facing seat...which is apparently impossible. The Diono Ranier and Radian both use a base that wedges between the lower seat cushion and the seat back, well on the i3 this is ~5" above the actual...

    Carseats and the back seat

    Currently we are using a Nuna PIPA infant car seat with the base in our i3 and it fits really perfectly, not quite as nice as in our Q5...but it works ok for me as the driver ;) We are also going to be looking for convertible car seats, I am hoping to find a Diono Radian RXT somewhere to test...

    i3 is the absolute most hated car at Public Chargers

    Wait, so you are saying that it unlocks on a US car every time charging is complete unless preconditioning is scheduled? That seems like a really bad idea, sounds like BMW really needs to copy Tesla a bit and allow you to save settings based on GPS location...such as charge rate, charge time...

    Anyone powder coat BMW 427 wheel yet in black?

    @DeafSoundGuy, did you end up getting winter tires? I am currently strongly considering an i3, however all of the dealer inventory cars all include the 20" wheels. I'm not looking to get in a debate of all season vs dedicated season tires, but it is pretty hard to justify forking over the...
