    Thanks for the advice on window coating, tinting. My ICE mechanic is top notch so he will know where to get this done. And I’ll try aa roll up windshield shade.

    Sunshades for the windshield that work

    Lesbi3: thanks for your input. I've been thinking I need to try a rolled type of shade. I bought a one-piece folding shade from Itro-Tech, which is supposed to be customized for the i3, but the center cut out is HUGE! About 6" on either side of the post that holds the rear view mirror to the...

    Use car or BMW connect to find missing keyless entry fobs?

    CharonPDX: Interesting. Thanks. And I just found the keys. :D In house, in the side of a box that I thought was sealed!!! After I posted here I found an article on line that said "it's possible to build your own transmitter [to track the remote], but it would take a lot of time, money...

    Sunshades for the windshield that work

    Thanks, all. I'll write back to report on how what I chose works. FYI I'm also looking for an X1 shade since BMW no longer makes one that fits 2018. I need to look for an X1 forum.... Debbie, I know about the big outside bunting. Since I'm in very hot weather, I use the shade frequently and...

    Hello, I live in the desert and must find a solution for the sun heating up my i3 interior through the windshield like a magnifying glass! I'd like to hear from those of you who have first hand experience with after market sunshades for this huge window. Either positive or negative. I have...
