    Rattling noise around trunk/rear interior panel removal

    I had to remove my 'hatch cover' to remove the rattles in right rear. Didn't realize there was another location for those problems. https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/i01-i3-hat/ned/03-body/01-noise/noise-from-rear-area/repair-instructions-i01/ Specifically, this is what got my attention...

    Activating Carplay on 2018+ i3

    I have a 2018 and confirmed I had the wifi antenna on my iDrive unit under back seat. I used FemtoEVO https://fscmap.com/femtoevo/ to activate CarPlay. It required a LAN OBD cable and a laptop... Once the hardware signature was read off of the i3, I sent the files to their email address and...

    Safe 12V sources to tap for audio system

    What an interesting freaking idea. I used to install Optima Yellow Tops in my cars for audio... this blows that out of the water! A consideration for me, for sure. Thank you!

    Bavsound install Tutorial and Review (replacement speakers worth your while)

    I would trust just about anyone to do the job. I swapped out the speakers in my i3s in under 45 minutes. It's quite an easy job!

    iSeal for Frunk

    Super cool! I went with a 'sealed bag' from Amazon to store my tire plug kit, charger, etc as the debris and water was ruining everything in the frunk. The bag certainly works but I lost out on some extra space... This is a cool idea/product!

    freaking awesome! Good search terms, agree. I never thought of searching for that to find a replacement. Thank you

    Bavsound install Tutorial and Review (replacement speakers worth your while)

    Fantastic thread, what a great job walking through the installation. I love the pictures and the close ups as well as the text you provided. Bravo. I installed Audison 2 way components (tweeter pods from Focal on the door card) and it went close to the same as your installation. On a side...

    Buying fob cover 82292348069

    Yeah, it is a bummer. I wanted it as well to protect the key in my pocket. :(

    Front license plate bracket

    Oh, hi! Mine came with one. They drilled right into the front bumpber in the 'center middle' plastic part. I have 4 holes in my bumper. :( You can see the 4 holes here: If you don't have a bracket, I can send you the one that came on my car. :D

    Identifying Interior/Exterior Rattles

    Very interesting, I didn't consider the outside cladding. I have a prominent 'clunk'/rattle that happens when I hit a bump hard enough. Sounds like it is behind the passenger seat (regardless if seat is up or not). Sounds like passenger C-Pillar but I can't find anything loose. Haven't...

    How often do you charge?

    I precondition in the morning before heading to work, while plugged in. I do not precondition at work as I cannot plug in the car (and do not want to lose range). During these mild winter months in Florida I am starting to have 20-30 miles left over on the 'guess o meter'. In summer I was...

    Safe 12V sources to tap for audio system

    Great question and research, I like your considered approach! I do not have anything to add here, but I am also interested in this. Btw, your YouTube link is malformed, I think it meant to be [youtube] ?

    How often do you charge?

    My 2018 i3s REX, with the 94 Ah battery achieves 110miles every day for me. I charge nightly as the 110 miles is my route to work and back. If I absolutely baby the accelerator I can achieve 115-120miles.

    Compare Model 3, BMW i3, and Model Y

    Nice! This looks like a fun project. Would it be useful to look up cd/m for the rated drag efficiency?

    Modify Audio Un-Mute Behavior?

    oh man I cuss out my car when it does this. My E92 335i behaves like you describe; push button to shut off/mute system, change audio sources and volume comes back. I poked around the coding options but didn't see much in the way of 'restore volume on source change'.

    2020 BMW i3s Edition RoadStyle

    What a bummer! It looks fantastic. Was hoping for another 30%

    Megacity, 10 years on...

    Sheesh, cool finds! I am fascinated with how cool the concept photos look. I think the exterior styling of charge port, fog lights, etc in the concepts would have really helped with the styling of the i3 in the public opinion. It feels like they backed off on some of the radical designs in...

    BMW i3 will live on with a new battery upgrade

    I am very excited for this! The i3 is not a perfect car by any means but the things it gets right... it gets RIGHT. I have trouble imagining a different car. HOWEVER, the range anxiety is real for my ~110 mi daily trip. Having more range would be incredible. I like my 2018 but long for the...
