    Frunk cover - which is better

    This is a custom made water resistant frunk bag by Love2Customize on Facebook. It's a well known seller of custom seat covers for the i3. They also venture in other i3 bits like dash panel covers. I also have the seat covers and absolutely love them since kids/dog/wife are all making messes in...

    Carseats and the back seat

    I know this is an old thread, but it's still relevant for parents of infants driving an i3. We have successfully mounted a Graco SlimFit3 LX 3 in 1 Car Seat in rear facing mode. Sure it requires the front seat to be moved forward, but not excessively so, especially on the passenger side. It's...

    Charging time household plug

    Our 17 Rex takes 4.5 hours to charge on a dedicated 240V circuit(which was wired with really thick gauge cable and paired with a 50 Amp breaker) here in the US. The voltage on it fluctuates between 225 and 255V. Our i3 maxes out around 31 Amps due to its internal charging limit set by BMW. The...

One is upgrading all the OEM electronics to the tune of $2k plus additional activation fees n such either through BMW or Bimmertech. The other is the piggyback MMI unit that plugs between the stock electronics of the BMW NBT...

    Build electric tailgate

    I've been poking around and have not seen anyone tackle this as an aftermarket option yet. I don't need the foot activation. Would be just happy to have a power lift gate that goes up when I pop the hatch open with the remote or with the interior button. Tesla Model 3 didn't have one from...

    How often do you charge?

    If I am at home, the i3 is always plugged in, either charging or waiting for "time of use" period to start charging. Our electricity provider has the least expensive rate between midnight and 3pm, so the charging is limited to that time. I use roughly 30% of the capacity of our 2017 Rex on my...
