    Thinking of buying a one owner 2014

    My 2014 had 77K miles on it and the battery degraded to the point where the guess o meter was telling me it was going to get 55-60 miles, down from 85 when we first got it. We watched it slowly degrade over the years. I felt guilty trying to sell it. We ended up letting Carmax make us an offer...

    It’s a cash cow the bad tire scam

    I finally gave in and changed the back tires, in an effort to get as much life out of the tires as possible, I probably owned myself. Why? Well, 4 tires for this thing ran me $600 last time I changed them out, this time? $920 out the door. I went on Tire Rack to price check, $800 for all 4...

    12v/cigarette lighter port not turning off

    I have owned various BMW's over the years, still own an E21 and an E30 used to have an E46. One every one of them the cigarette lighter always had power no matter if the car was on or not. I cannot speak for modern BMW's and have not paid attention to our i3. This may be a BMW thing?

    Looking for an used i3, but am scared of the tire reliability...HELP!

    Bought a CPO REX almost 1 year ago with 26K miles on it. It now has over 40K miles on it and the tires look fine, my wife does 90% of the driving in it and drives it nice, I am responsible for 90% of the rear tire wear due to my 10% of the driving. :mrgreen: The tires look great, 2 months...

We recently drove it 130 miles one way for a long weekend. We left home with 1/2 tank of gas and 100%...

    Adding oil to REx

    I am sure the link provided covers this. You need to take the engine cover off, to the left of the dipstick is where you add engine oil. I took a picture this evening, after my last service my dealership thought it would be awesome to leave my dipstick unseated, I pissed out about a half a...

    33 Years of BMW...

    Anyone else have nitrogen in their tires? Mine does and it started warning us the tires were low. I am a real big DIY type so I invested in a tank of my own, initial investment with the nitrogen specific regulator and tank deposit was about $240. Now I never have to go to the dealership to top...

    115 miles commute.

    I have to agree, we are pushing the limits on our REX now, my wife has to drive 50 miles round trip to drop our son off to school in the morning. Then make the same trip 6 hours later to bring him home. She is purely on surface roads with speeds from 30-60 mph. We have a stage 2 charger in the...

    I believe it is Andesite Silver, it kind of reminds me of Bronzit from the E30 era.

    Adaptive Cruise kicked off

    I did a little trip this past weekend in my 2014 REX and used the CC along a 2 lane road with slight curves, with a 35mph speed limit for the trip up without incident. It even maintained distance to a slow moving pickup that eventually turned off. The road is narrow with trees on both sides and...

    Bimmercode App experience?

    After you make the change in the app are you coding it to the car? There is a command at the top of the app that tells it to send the code to the car, It warns you not to interrupt the process and make sure the battery levels are good on everything. I finally have everything in order, I did...
