Today is a sad day. My wife drove my 2014 i3/REX into a ditch a few weeks ago and the repair estimate is high enough that the insurance company is totaling the car. We haven't decided whether or not we will replace it (it's a 3rd car and we reallly don't need 3 cars), but will wait a bit before...

NE Oregon. Small town. Maybe 6-8 body shops.

Just got some "good" news. They have moved me up to December 27. Accident happened 10/26, so that will be a 2 month wait. The shop did a quick estimate the same day, just to get the insurance stuff rolling, but said that they can't provide a full estimate until they can tear into it, or at...

Nice! I'm currently waiting for a final estimate on the damage to my 2014 i3/REX after my wife put it into a ditch. I don't think it will be totaled unless they find something significant when they get under it and tear into it. The body shop can't even get it in for the estimate until January.

This is interesting. It looks like he is connecting the inverter to the 12v battery's positive post? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lq-jOmAyraY

Ok. I'll ask: How much did the insurance company pay?

Looks nice Art! I do worry about my roof deteriorating, as some have e xperienced, but I also like the look of the black roof on my white/black "Panda". But maybe a black wrap would be an option. Wouldn't address IR radiation into the cabin but it would probably be chaper to replace a black...

Just received and installed this bag. Perfect fit and exactly what I was looking for! Thanks to the OP for posting this!

Interesting, to say the least. So you're saying that your A/C was covered under a federal "emissions" warranty? EDIT: So I just downloaded and read the info in the link and it does indeed look like the "Electric A/C Compressor" is covered under the exteneded "emissions" warranty. Of course...

This question is being asked by a few people over on Reddit. It's apparently a known/common issue and so far the only answer seems to be to have BMW replace the whole panel at a cost of $1,200+. Some have said that it is possible to replace an individual LED but so far nobody has been able to...

The green LED light on the A/C button has started working only randomly (2014 i3/Rex). I understand this is a common problem on i3's but haven't found anyone who has done a repair of a single light, rather than having the whole panel replaced. Would be interested to hear from someone who has...

FWIW: Here's another option that someone posted on a different forum. Even more expensive than the Safe Jack, and only available in pairs. But an intereseting option nevertheless. http://www.jackpointjackstands.com/

Oops. Fixed the link, but the one that Evanstoni3 posted is also correct.

This isn't a "mod", but is something that I recently purchased and find extremely helpful for my i3: https://safejacks.com/products/the-rennstand-by-safe-jack-single-unit Works very well! It is innovative, extremely well built using high quality materials, and works on both my i3 and my wife's...

This would be quite expensive if a person wanted 4 of them to get all 4 wheels off the ground, but I recently bought one of these: https://safejacks.com/products/the-rennstand-by-safe-jack-single-unit Works very well! It is innovative, extremely well built using high quality materials, and...

Unfortunately, mine (like Jim's above) are directional tires so can't be rotated side to side.

Hmmm... I thought I replied to this but don't see the reply. I'm not sure why you can't stream from your android phone to your i3. It works for me, although I don't do it very often. I copied my ripped collection of CD's to one of those very short (so it doesn't stick out far) USB sticks and...

You sound like a perfect candidate for a Tesla Model X with falcon wing doors... :D

I must not be fully understanding the (potential) issue. The first solution, as has already been mentioned, is to simply move the car to let the passengers in. However, even without moving the car, if there is enough room to open the front passenger door to allow ingress to the front seat...

I'm a bit confused. Are you saying that the REX doesn't run at all? Or runs but you have the error codes? If the latter, I would try clearing the codes, running the REX, and see if the codes come back.
