    i3 Horn sound

    Look on You Tube for I3 Horn Replacement. Relatively easy to replace the stock wimpy single horn with dual high and low tone PIAAs or Hellas. As we all know the single stock FIAM is pretty damn wimpy.....clown car horn. Honk-on. Road Jager

    Big Brake Kit for i3 ?

    I completely agree that there is absolutely no need for Big Brakes on an I3. Don't waste your money. Put the 'extra' funds into lowering springs. They add to the looks and better handling. Just sayin'

    Windshield Sunshade

    I was wanting to get a front windshield sunshade for our I3. Both BMW and Coverlay do not offer a product that fits the way other chassis shades do. I don't want a one-size-fits-all mylar product. What are you using? Road Jager

    Remarkable end-of-lease buyout offers from BMWFS

    When we checked with BMWFS about purchasing our I3 last week they quoted a $10k customer incentive to buy it. We checked 2 months ago when it came off lease and the residual was too much versus market value, so we decided to order and purchase, not lease a new I3s. We were given a July...

    Tar spot removal

    Use WD40. DO NOT USE BRAKE FLUID it removes paint. Just spritz a bit of WD40 directly on the tar, then gently wipe it off. After the tar is removed, DAWN dishwashing soap easily cleans off the WD40 residue. Road Jager DO NOT USE PAINT THINNER EITHER, it will FUp the paint finish.

    Maintaining 12 V Battery Charge while Physical Distancing

    Wonder all you want about this advice. This man is not a 'suit'. He was a 20 year factory certified trained technician. He is not a BS'er. He just stated that the root of most of the I3 electrical issues they see in their shop, seemed to stem from the 12v battery that is in later life. He has...

    Maintaining 12 V Battery Charge while Physical Distancing

    I was told by a BMW Service Manager, that most of the problems they have seen are caused by the 12v battery status. At the end of the 12v battery life is when control units are damaged and problems from that point cascade. His suggestion is just replace the 12v battery at the 3 year mark...

    2020 I3s Incentives

    Our 2017 I3 BEV lease expires in 4 weeks. Through a mis-communication issue on the lease we opted not to purchase the car. We initially leased it to see if we were comfortable with electromotivation. We are ordering an I3s. This time it will be purchased. BMW extended us $10,500 in discounts...

    Salvaged title 2014 i3 bev

    Why would anyone purchase a vehicle with a salvage title? After 35 years of owning a BMW, Mini and M/Benz repair shop, I saw numerous people attempting to defy the financial reality of a salavged car. The general attitude was that "now I can afford to have a BMW". I would tell them no, this is...

    2017 BEV Ordered

    Received our BEV Thursday. People go out and purchase different items in their life after checking them out to insure it is want they want and it is the best for them. Upon getting that product it generally meets their expectations. In rare cases it exceeds those expectations. "Wattson" is one...

    New tires (rear) seem hard to come by

    What is the tire wear pattern? Worn down the center, worn on the inner or outer tread? Is anyone having the car re-aligned? In our shop on the e39's our customers were going through the Mich. Sports in less that 20k. miles. They were wearing the inner 2 inches bald yet the rest of the tread had...
