    Installed Show tires from a 2015 i3 - Continentals

    I have a questions regarding my installation of winter tires on my i3S. I bought a set of used 19" rims with brand new Continental winter tires and installed them. No problems so I thought. Then I came across a blog that stated that the 19' rims installed on the i3s require a spacer (15 mm)...

    Am radio...

    OK I tried coding my 2020 i3s for the AM radio because I have some other contacts with 2-3 year old i3's that were able to enable this with Bimmercode. So it doesn't work with a 2020 model. Guess they must have include a AM radio in earlier models (hidden in their hardware) but did not allow...

    Compass in the Mirror

    I noticed when I tested a 2019 i3 that there was a compass indicator on the right side of the mirror. A small LED that indicated your direction I guess. Well I thought I was going to get this with the 2020 model but I guess not. There is a small hole on the right side of the mirror that...

    No Spill 2.5 Gallon container fit in the frunk?

    I know I'm not suppose to do this but I was wondering if anyone here has used this "No-Spill" container to transport gas in their i3 frunk. I know the dimension are very close to fitting for the 2.5 gallon container (33x33 x 27.6 mm). The 1 gallon version of this brand will be OK but it would...

    Alarm all of sudden starting to go off...

    OK just during the last hour, my i3S alarm has started going off for apparently no reason. I am parked in the back of my house with no traffic vibrations. I can turn it off with the FOB. I just unlocked the doors and I know the alarm is deactivated. Also it started to happen after I washed...

    Parking Assist not available on the 2020 i3 models

    I noticed that my 2020 i3 Rex has a button for parking distance sensors. But the manual that I have indicated that parking assistance is available if there are sensors close to where the front flanges are. My i3s does not have the necessary sensors so I assumed this option is not available on...

    Ran the REX for the first time....

    Hey I coded the i3 so I could run the REX at 70%. While driving in city traffic I couldn't hear it running. But from what I have read, it is quite audible but not the case with my 2020 i3S REX. Once I reached my destination, I left the i3 on and walked to the back and I still could...

    Dimensions of the frunk?

    Wondering what are the dimensions in inches of the i3's frunk? I want to purchase a water proof duffle bag from MEC (in Vancouver BC) so I could place items in it. I am waiting for the delivery of a 2020 which is expected next month so anyone could be so kind as to pass this information on...

    Why does a replacement battery in the i3 need to be registered??

    This is the information I read from the Facebook group "BMW i3 enthusiast" "There is no electronics in the battery. You do not need to 'register' the battery. It does NOTHING. And your car can't tell the difference between ANY 12v agm (glass mat, gel cell, motorcycle) battery. Of any size. Save...

    BMW Connnect Question

    OK I am waiting for delivery of my i3S and have a couple of simple questions regarding the BMW Connect app and a cell phone. I assume that to fully utilize this app out on the road, you need a data plan with your phone plan. That makes sense to me because the car has a built in SIM chip...

    Security of the i3

    Lots of news about stolen cars that have remote entry and start...so the questions are what do we do? 1) Don't use your FOB control to lock the car in public places such as the mall, parking garages etc. Hit the lock button on the door to prevent the code being stolen from scanning devices...

    How many key FOB's do you get with a new i3?

    Just wondering since I ordered one that will be coming in January next year...how many key FOB? I would think at least two but I wouldn't be too surprised if they gave you only one.

    Ordered a 2020 i3s...changing options?

    Hello there, My very first posting. After testing a 2019 i3s I fell totally enchanted by this beautiful little car. I have an astronomy hobby and one of the most important features I felt I needed was a "boot" that was sufficiently large enough to accommodate my equipment. So off to the...
