My 2017 is on the way across the North Atlantic now, expected to hit Halifax on Friday. I am in Ontario and the big concern I have is on our rebate for the EV incentive. The 2017 is still not listed with the Ontario government and until it is I cannot claim. It is a $13,000 CAD rebate, so that...

It does. One of the other members in the i3 FB GTA page tracked his ship into Halifax (complete with pictures from the live cam of Halifax harbour). ;)

Check with your dealer, they should be able to tell you if it is in the holding yard. I would expect it is. My dealer proactively sends me screen shots of the status weekly (Town + Country).

Just heard yesterday that my car is at the port waiting on the ship. Dealer indicated late August is now the likely arrival.

On the flip side, the 2017 will be available about 3-4 months ahead of 2017 calendar year plus the bigger battery. What is the difference in price from 2015 to 2017? Have you looked at any previously owned 2014/15's?

Congrats! I ordered almost the exact same except with 20's and a set of winter wheels (427's). Oh, and it is a Rex (not sure if your is). I am in Toronto area. Yesterday I received my VIN...so the baby is born and is on the way over now. :D

:lol: It is like a cartoon caricature!

I think power wall was an independent purchase/product. This is to re-purpose the old battery pack for an i3 owner. So you have a 2014 i3 and in 2019 decide that you want to upgrade to the new battery pack of the time. You could repurpose your 70% or so usable battery to provide back up and time...

So I figured it out. The dealer put the price of the BEV ($46,900) on the REX (IZ83 - i3 Range Extender). Again, the finance manager signed the offer to purchase, I signed and they took a $2k deposit. I don't think they can go back on this now can they?

The Hammer! Used to live in Hamilton. I am in Barrie now. I agree on the dealers, they are so uninterested and uninformed. Send me a PM with your email address and I will forward over.

Congrats to you! I decided that it is much better to have a long wait over summer than a long wait over the winter. :D

Yes, I stumbled upon the same, but the main configurator is still 2015 (can tell from the paint options). Horribly designed website though. I ultimately went in to request the test drive and had a quote generated for 2015 model. Went back to my contact for the quote on the 2017 and subsequent...

Yep, I thought the same thing. The total MSRP was just $850 more than the pricing I got on the 2015 back in March, but included 20's and sunroof. I have the deal in writing, fully signed from the finance manager and a $2K deposit made. Not sure they can go back on that even if there was an error...

Wow, are the 2016's in that much demand in EU? There were 3 sitting on the lot here in Toronto.

Thanks! I am pretty excited for the car. Normally my summer seems to fly past, hopefully this wait has the side effect of prolonging summer! :) I am in Ontario, like you. Question, for winter tires, what have you done? I was looking at TireRack and see a wheel and tire package for 2015Rex that...

Went in to the dealer yesterday to put in my order for 2017 i3 Rex. Specs are: 2017 i3Rex Fluid Black Premium and Tech packages (Dalbergia leather) Sunroof option 20" wheels Surprising part is I was able to walk out the door with a total sales price of $54624 CAD. I was planning to argue the...

A little more information for Canadians: Besides the phantom $600.00 charge for the REX over the BEV for the battery increase, It looks like BMW have re-arranged the packages. Below is an example re-config in 2017 of Suite (Tera for US): Previous (2015): Suite Interior - $4250.00 Technology -...

I have the specifications (5 page PDF) and there is nothing different on the standard features from 2017 BEV to 2017 Rex except the rear wheel size difference on the Rex and the Aux cabin heating system on the BEV. Those are both carry over differences from the 2015/16's though. Everything else...

The one thing I plan to challenge the dealer on is the difference in increase between BEV and Rex. Why is there a $600.00 difference (+$2000 vs +$1400)?? As far as I can tell the only difference is battery range for both. I am suspicious that they try to claim the increase in Rex fuel tank size...

There was no listing of the 60 aH models. Not sure that would make sense here as the difference in price is marginal for the range increase. I can't see anyone going for that unless the 60 aH price drops substantially. I think there are a lot of 2015/16 i3's in dealer inventory currently. They...
