It's time for me to leave the forum. We have sold the i3 and gone back to a 1.0 petrol driven town car in order to remove the 'cost to repair' anxiety issues we had during ownership of the i3 after the end of the manufacturers warranty. Best wishes to all and thanks for the communication and...

UK user... The car is just approaching 3 years of age. Two of the 427 style alloys are starting to blister very close to the TPMS valves. Not large blisters, but it has started. When it went in for its end of warranty check yesterday, I highlighted these blisters and the dealer said it was...

Just something to be aware of. I recently, (6 months ago), I had a couple of tyres fitted to the rear axle of the car by Costco. The first set since the car was bought with the tyres fitted from new. Over the last couple of months the warning message came up that pressure had dropped on one of...

Our 94AH REX has the wider tyres on the rear. 155/70 R19 on the front 175/60R19 on the rear. I have noticed uneven tyre wear and as a result, with the winter weather approaching here in the UK, it would be wise to fit new rubber. There has been a delay in obtaining a set of 4, the 175's taking...

Last night the ITV program 'Tonight' here in the UK had an episode titled, 'what car should I buy'. A motoring journalist Ginny Buckley did the presenting. Quite interesting viewing and available on the ITV hub on catch up for the next 29 days. Series 20 episode 29. What I fail to understand...

Here in the UK, since having a Rolec 7.2kw home charge unit installed, we seem to be having an issue with the car retaining the time period we want it to charge. During the Economy 7 rate. Checking the time period on her mobile phone app, for some reason the times had changed from what had...

And another question. The car seems to have a default setting of comfort mode every time it is used and the setting has to be changed manually. Is it possible to change this default to ECO or ECO +?

Hi, this may sound a stupid question, but following the installation of a non tethered Rolec 7.2Kw 32A charging unit, is there a way to verify how quickly the car is actually charging? We are using a BMW single phase cable. We know the car charge rate can be set to Low, Reduced or Max and with...

Liaise with tyre manufacturers to provide a run flat tyre and BMW to provide the option to buy a fun flat wheel rim. Design vehicle suspension so either conventional or run flat option can be used.

Can any member tell me if the facility to split the centre display and show sat nav alongside other information is available to achieve in all i3's or is it just those with a certain spec'? I have a UK spec 2017 model with standard sound.

Hi, should the UK spec' i3 come with covers fitted over the alloy wheel nuts?

Hi all, new member to the forum living in the UK who has just placed an order for a 'new' i3 Rex. (It's got 4,800 miles on the clock and was previously a Bmw workers/company car.) The sales person was very polite, (as they are when going for the sale), but sadly didn't seem to know much about...
