Looking to start a small of local owners who can support each other.

I really wanted custom wheels but it seemed impossible to find any that would actually fit, then I came across a set of wheels and tires from a 2018 sport model. They are just what I was looking for. Custom and yet still BMW i3. They do stick out a little more in the fender which I really...

My still pristine 2017 i3 REx took a rock to the windshield and now I need a new one. The crack was 12 inches long before I even got off the freeway. I have the very expensive BMW windshield coverage it helps out with NOTHING here. It only fixes chips. My insurance USAA says take it to...

It seems very hard to find aftermarket wheels for the i3 vs other BMWs. Obviously the wheels are tall and skinny vs. most other cars. In any case I thought I'd make a list here of any that I can find, and hope others can add some. Tire Rack sells the 19" rail wheels in black or silver...

I am fortunate that my office provides free charging, and has enough chargers that I can park and charge all day while I am at work. We have six chargers and I've never seen more than 4 in use on my shift (I work 2PM to 10PM. My commute is 12 miles so I usually don't charge at home. So for...

I do my main charging at work, and use the occasional use charger at home... occasionally. But the other day I took it off the wall to take on a trip, and it was warm. Not hot, but fairly warm when it had not been plugged into the car in weeks. It was plugged into the wall. So here it is...

Any recommendations on the best wax or other products for preserving my paint? I have a Protonic Blue 2017, and my office provides free level 2 charging, but in a space exposed to the sun. I hate to admit this, but that paint sold me on the car. That and the no ding body panels. I...

On a recent 375 mile road trip in my 2017 REx I was pleased to find a DC Fast Charging station just off the freeway. It was at a gas station and they had a small store as well. On the down side it was not close to anything else. I pulled in with only 11 miles remaining range. I connected...

When I went to pick up my 2017 in Blue with grey interior (and Blue accents), There was a 2018 there in red. With the cream/tan interior. And it had blue seat belts! And they looked hideous in that car. But they would look amazing in mine! How can I get those in my car? And not go broke...

I understand ECO Pro makes the car accelerate at a slower rate for a given push on the accelerator pedal. And ECO Pro+ probably does this more, AND it turns off any Climate control (but not the fan). Though 100% power and top speed seem unchanged. But I can turn off the climate control, and...

OK I understand the 2014-2016 REx models had their fuel tank software limited to 1.9 gallons. There is actually 2.4 (or is it 2.5?) salons of fuel in there. But after using 1.9 gallons the computer stops the REx. I have a 2017. Is my tank also software limited? I ran it out of fuel, and it...

If you don't know Doug DeMouro his reviews can be pretty entertaining. Don't take it too personally... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLfRPT5sEEI

I just bought a brand new '17 REX in Blue. I have the cruise control and emergency braking. I have the 9 inch screen. I was astonished to find I don't have a back-up camera. They are required by law in the USA in April 2018. My 2008 Acura has it as standard equipment. I do have the rear warning...
