    Standard HIFI upgrade

    ETON makes bmw replacement speakers, but has no mention of the i3 in their "Compatibility guide" - https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/pdf/ETON-BMW-Compatibility-List.pdf I am looking to replace the speakers in my "standard audio" 2014 BMW i3. I think ETON will be an improvement. I see a...

    wish the rear window was bigger

    The i3 doesn't have great rear visibility. But most of the newer designs are even worse. I just drove the VW id.4 and Tesla Y, and rear visibility in both is terrible. i3 - Even if you love the glass below the part you can see through, wouldn't it be nice to see through another inch or two?

    want a 18 or 19 inch wheel option for i3s

    The i3s only comes with 20inch rims. I wish there was an 18 or 19 inch wheel option. Reasons: Improved driving comfort Less likely to destroy a rim or tire Very likely improved performance IMO the 20 inch rims are a victory of marketing over engineering.

    wish the rear window was bigger

    Looking for smaller rims for my i3

    I am not trying to put a wider tire on my i3. I am looking for a wheel+tire combination that is the same bolt pattern, tire width, and tire outside diameter as the original setup. It must weigh less, and have a lower moment of inertia about the axis of rotation than my current 19in setup...

    Looking for smaller rims for my i3

    I want to get 16, 17, or 18in rims for my i3, but I am not able to find any. IMO big rims are a triumph of marketing over engineering.

    Changing the wheels on my i3

    I can't find 16, 17, or 18in rims for the i3. IMO large rims with low profile tires are a sign that marketing has won an argument with engineering.
