    Wider 2018 Sport tires

    Unfortunately I do not. And I cannot find a way to directly post a pic here - I can only post a link. Sorry. I will say that the i3 group on FB is very active with over 16,000 members.

    Wider 2018 Sport tires

    I have 15mm spacers in the front and 20mm spacers in the rear and I have H&R springs. The rears do stick out a very tiny bit, but I haven't had any rubbing. I frequently travel some sub-par windy roads with several kids in the car. Granted the kids aren't very heavy. Here are a bunch of pics of...

    Wider 2018 Sport tires

    I put 175/55r20 on front 20x5 and 195/50r20 on rear 20x5.5 several months ago (2015 REx). I already had 15/20mm spacers front and back and kept them. Temperature, driving style, and use of HVAC are way more of a factor on range than the increased tire size. I have not noticed any directly...

    Thanks everyone. Good to hear it is fairly manageable.

    Rear doors and older children (9 & 11 years old)?

    So I have been obsessed with the i3 for 3 months now. I've test drove twice and read (and youtubed) as much as I can find about it. I am just about convinced that I will love it and it will suit my needs ... but my biggest concern at the moment is the rear doors. I'm not worried about the...

    Where is the best place to shop for a 2014/5 BEV?

    So there's one right here in Pittsburgh nearly exactly what I want, but the dealership bought out the person's lease, then didnt make the payment .... so the car is stuck in some sort of financial limbo. This dealer is also notoriously high. Also someone said they were going to come this...

    Where is the best place to shop for a 2014/5 BEV?

    Oh, ok ... that makes sense. For the very expensive repair cost of various electronic controllers, is there anything to look out for or any early indicators when shopping for a used i3 or is it just a game of chance?

    Where is the best place to shop for a 2014/5 BEV?

    I thought the battery was 8 years too ... but then saw something that made me think 10. Road trip would be fun, but not really feasible with a BEV. I've shipped my last couple of cars, so no worries going that route. There is a place that specializes in Leafs in OR, but has an i3 of interest...

    Where is the best place to shop for a 2014/5 BEV?

    Where is the best place to shop for a 2014/5 BEV? I've searched on Cars.com and Autotrader.com mostly. Any where better to look? I've tried Autotempest, but I'm not that familiar. I found a buyer for my ICE and after months of reading about the i3 and watching every video I can find on the...

    package confusion

    I'm a little confused on this one. It says that it has Driver Assist, Comfort Access, and Back up Camera ... but yet it has the small screen. I wasn't necessarily looking for a REx, but it is a decent price and close-ish. Has everything I want but the larger screen. Which I thought was part of...

    Any All-Season or Winter options for 20" yet (in the US)???

    That is for a set 19" set of wheels and tires, right? There are still no options all-season or winter options using the 20" wheels, right?

    Any All-Season or Winter options for 20" yet (in the US)???

    Hi everyone!! I am going to look at some used i3s tomorrow. I REALLY like the 20" wheels much better than any other. But are there really no all-season or winter option for the 20" i3 wheels? Summer tires only for the 20"?!?!?! I live in the Mid-Atlantic (Pittsburgh specifically) where...

    Key differences: 2014 vs 2015 vs 2016

    So DC fast charging added as standard on 2015 and 2016... - how much to add it to 2014? Then mirror color, wheel LvsR, and minor interior details are the only other differences? When were new exterior colors added? - Blue? - Red? Bigger battery in 2017? Slight bumper refresh is 2018...

    New recall for "marginal front crash result"?

    This is pretty crazy. I called the dealership Saturday to check one out and they just stuttered and didn't sound like they knew what they were doing. I thought they were just idiots, but it is likely they didn't know how yet to communicate the issue. I would think a physical fix would be...
