As of Thursday, Sept. 8, the "hold" on 2017's for the EPA portion of the Munroney Sticker has been lifted. Hopefully, transport of vehicles will begin tomorrow, Friday, Sept. 9. This came via my dealer. I received notice about mid day today.

Spoke with my dealer today. NO 2017 i3's have been released from port yet. The EPA HAS NOT RELEASED THEM AS OF SEPT 6. They are seeking clarification as to when I will get my car. It has been in port since Aug. 25

Update: Just heard from my dealer today, my car arrived at the Port of New York on Thursday of last week. It is currently on a truck headed to my dealer in Lancaster, PA. BMW has reinstated the $7500 credit on 2017 LEASES as well as sales. I ordered this car on July 18 and, if all goes well, I...

I am feeling uneasy about having no spare wheel or tire. I am told not to worry that BMW Connect will happily pick up my disabled car, take it to the dealer (30 miles from my home), and replace or fix the tire. I am considering buying an extra front tire (which can be used in a pinch on front...

In case you are interested, here is the link to follow a BMW from production to delivery. It is one of the best websites that I have ever used. http://www.bmwblog.com/2009/07/14/how-to-follow-a-new-bmw-from-order-to-shipping-and-to-delivery/

WOW! Thanks for this very timely info. I have sent it on to my dealer. My car is scheduled to arrive in the Port of New York on Wednesday, Aug. 24. Thus far, I have not signed the lease agreement. I found a link on here to track the car across the Atlantic by entering the VIN on a shipping...

This is exciting to read! My 2017 is currently on a ship in the Atlantic. I test drove a 2016 but decided to wait for the 94ah battery. Now I know I made the right decision.

Thanks for the advice. I ran all the numbers and do qualify for the full $7500, plus an additional $2,000 in PA. However, I still decided to lease for 3 years. With the rapid changes in range and the oncoming Bolt and Model 3, I do not wish to own a potential technological albatross in 3 years...

I started the process of ordering a 2017 today by visiting two dealers, one in MD and one in PA. Both told me they have ordering reservations available for delivery in 6 to 8 weeks. Here are the MSRP prices I was quoted by both dealers: Base. $47450 Protonic Blue $550 Parking Assistant Package...

Has anyone in the U.S. Received notice of a date when dealers will have the necessary information to provide pricing and place orders for a 2017 i3? I have contacted 3 area dealers and am waiting for pricing to be finalized. I will decide whether to buy or lease as a result of their offers. Thanks!

Thanks for the great info. So letting the car connected to the charger all night will not be harmful?

What rate of capacity loss can I expect from the i3? How does this compare to other EV's, like the Leaf or Soul? Are there charging strategies I can use to minimize capacity loss?

I live in the eastern US. My dealer tells me orders can be placed in 2 or 3 weeks. How are you ordering now? I also wish to go for the protonic blue, but am debating whether to buy or lease. This tech is changing so fast, I don't want an albatross instead of a car in 3 or 4 years. Any thoughts?
