I bought a used 2015 BMW i3 REx, now with 36,000 miles of moderate driving by me. The rear tires need to be replaced due to excessive wear on the outside edge of each. Middle grooves of the rear tires are still OK but worn. Is this a common issue ? Is this bad rear end alignment ? Or any...

MUCH cooler in the summer in New Orleans - and looks better too ! https://www.instagram.com/p/B7juc1MpiFw/?igshid=vt3m3u2crt6f

A white roof should at least be an option. MUCH cooler in summer. https://www.instagram.com/p/B7juc1MpiFw/?igshid=vt3m3u2crt6f

Does anyone have any experience in painting their i3 roof white ? Snow white should reflect about 85% of the heat from sunlight (much better than black). I would chose the white that matches the factory white though. There appears to be a clear coat over the carbon fiber roof. Is this a normal...

Perhaps using the front bumper opening to screw on an eye for towing - or a front license plate ? Just one fog lamp would help on foggy mornings. I live in a state that does not require a front license plate. Thanks

I bought a used 2015 i3 REx a few months ago (just $19,400 with 17,999 miles with Giga trim). I have a decent set of tools, except Torx. I typically do most of my own work, What size Torx does BMW use ? Any E sockets (Torx shaped male bolt heads) needed ? How many bolts and screws are torqued...

Did BMW install a magnetic oil drain plug as OEM ? If not, does the REx use a 12 mm oil drain plug like every other BMW car since 2002 - or the 16 mm plug that comes with all other 650 cc engines (on BMW motorcycles) (per my understanding). Recently bought a used 2015 i3 REx Giga with 17,999...

I have bought a used 2015 BMW i3 REx Giga in Texas and I am awaiting delivery. I live in New Orleans and I will be driving just a few thousand miles/year (replacing my 1982 MB 240D 4 speed with manual window winders - the rubber is deteriorating). The REx is for hurricane evacuation. I hope to...

Remove heat pump and go with REx resistance heat for cabin. Put in air cooled supplemental batteries (like Leaf and as opposed to water cooled 24 kWh standard batteries) in space where Rex (or heat pump) sits. Air cooling will reduce both weight and cost and is "workable" for supplemental...

Just wanted to know if these "odd" tires got flats more often than most. I am thinking of buying a spare wheel (likely salvage) and two tires (one front, one rear from Tire Rack, @$300 for both). Mount the front tire on the rim and keep it at home when I am driving around town. If I get a flat...

Dear US members, How long are most leases - two years or three years or a mix (guess % ?) What percentage of i3s are leased vs. bought ? (Just a guess unless you work for a BMW dealer). I am planning to buy mine when the used market is flooded with cars coming off lease and people are...
