My 2014 is the same, you can see marginal clearing right along the lines, suggesting that the system is functional, but judging by the results I’d still say that crap ain’t working. My recollection from some battery education years ago is that rear window defrost typically is several hundred...

Awesome, thank you!

Hi there, On my beloved 2014 BEV with 47tkm I got the dreaded drivetrain malfunction error, relevant codes are 22280F “HV power management: HV battery, insulation fault” and 21F0E3 “Insulation monitoring - Insulation fault in the entire system (closed contactors)” Both codes have equivalents...

I don’t know if you can buy body panels painted. For a wrap I meanwhile got a quote for 1500,- CAD without the company seeing the car, they say I should stop by once the car is here & they’ll get more precise. As far as painting the body panels go, it’s not a problem, no different from painting...

Hi, thx for the response. Where are you located, what kind of $ is that? If that’s USD, it sounds very high, but there is some fancy & expensive film out there. Given how few painted surfaces (besides the black) the i3 has, I’m pretty sure I can have the car painted for cheaper than 3k CAD...

Hi, I put a downpayment on a well equipped & well priced i3, I just don’t like the silver paint. Has anyone wrapped his i3? Anyone got an idea how much it costs on that little car that has much of the body panels in black anyways? Thx, Ben

As I’m just about to ship an i3 to an area where they are not very common & I can pretty much expect no one in the area to cary stock in tires for the foreseeable future, has anyone ever researched compatible „donut“ spare tire sizes? Iirc the i3 has 5 & 112 bolt pattern, is there a chance to...

Now that is really interesting, I never thought of it, but it makes perfect sense! So what does that mean? You’d have a large diameter tire with a wide contact patch & a weight rating that’s likely a fair bit higher than what the i3 needs. So that gives you a very wide and very short contact...

The rims actually are not the problem, 3 piece rims can be configured to diameter, width & offset as desired, it’s just expensive, but not a technical hurdle. The true problem is indeed the tire size. Large diameter tires usually are fairly wide, providing a much larger contact patch than the i3...

Yes, the Vancouver situation baffles me, Westwood & Carter Honda have tons of US import i3, but pricing for Euro cars typically is more interesting in Eastern Canada than in BC & the price of trucking it to MB is pretty close from West or East. There was a nice i3 for sale from private in...

As far as alternate tire choices, there actually are a few, just for the most part not offered in North America (allthough the US is the biggest market for the i3?!) Here’s the link to the 155/70/19 (selected through the vehicle menu, these are intended for i3) choices on Germany’s biggest...

Hi all, I’m looking to buy an i3 before the next winter. Looking through listings, there are quite a few that are only selling once the price is substantially reduced, while the bottom end of the price range is sometimes pretty thin. It seems to me as if there is still a strong downward...
