While reading some online articles about BMW's remote services, I noticed a service called BMW TeleService Battery Guard for the 12 volt batteries of BMW vehicles. BMW's Connected Drive website describes the service as follows: TeleService Battery Guard continually checks the battery charge...

Hello, I just read some older posts by i3 owners who installed 175/55r20 Ecopia 500 tires on the front 20x5 wheels and 195/50r20 tires on the rear 20x5.5 wheels with no spacers on any wheel. I wanted to know who has tried that combination without spacers and how well that worked out? Thanks for...

Has anyone purchased a screen protector for their i3's infotainment display? If so, I would be interested in knowing what brand you purchased and where you purchased it. I own 2017 i3 with the technology package that includes the larger screen. Thanks.

Hello. Has anyone installed window tinting on the entire sunroof glass of an i3? I am not sure if it is possible. If it is, I presume the sunroof setup in the i3 with the central pillar would make it difficult to do. Thanks for the information.

Over the past year, I have maintained a daily log keeping track of my battery usage and electricity consumption rate during my 60 mile round-trip daily commute to work. During each normal work day, my i3 sits locked in a parking garage for about 10 hours before I unlock the car and head home. I...

I am thinking about selling my 2016 i3 Rex and purchasing a 2017 i3 Rex with the larger battery pack. The 2017 I am considering has the 20 inch rims. My understanding is that Bridgestone only offers a summer season tire for the 20 inch rims. My question is whether those tires would be...

I woke up this morning with my i3 Rex being completely dead with no remote or electrical or power functions. There was no prior warning or warning signs. All symptoms point to a failure of the 12 volt battery. I was able to open the charging port hatch with the manual release and connect my...

In the i3 owner's manual, it shows two coolant reservoirs in the frunk, one for the climate control system and one for the "drive." I presume the "drive" reservoir is not for the Rex engine coolant. Is the Rex coolant reservoir in the rear under the engine cover near the oil dipstick? Thanks for...

Hello all. Does anyone know if the Enhanced Auto comfort-drive TJA module for the BMW i3 is still being sold? The Enhanced Auto website is constantly showing that the module is sold out. If it is still being sold, I think I would like to try it first before the Quidzel module. Thanks.

I own a 2016 i3 Rex. A couple of months ago, I used the ISTA software to perform a reinit of my battery pack. Everything went smoothly, and the results have been very beneficial. However, ever since completing the battery pack reinit, I have noticed that the charging stats generated by my...

Hello. I am familiar with the requirements of setting a departure time at least three hours in advance and having the vehicle plugged into the charger in order for the battery to be preconditioned prior to departure. But, does the vehicle have to be actually charging during the entire three hour...

While reading the warranty information on my 2016 i3 Rex, I noticed a reference to a federal emissions warranty (not a warranty for California vehicles) covering the Rex's auxiliary power unit for 10/15 years or 150,000 miles. What does the federal emissions warranty specifically cover? The...

I have been noticing that the estimated range showing on the guess-o-meter inside my 2016 i3 rex at the end of my morning commute is consistently several miles higher than the estimated range showing on the Connected Drive app at the same time. Isn't the Connected Drive app supposedly just...
