Had the dealer look at my roof because it looks to be developing the problem others are having with the roof. They said it looked like someone else had already tried to do something with the roof, therefore it's not covered under warranty. I'm not familiar with what the original roof looks...

Wondering if this is normal, to only pull 6.0 to 6.1 Kwh vs. the 6.6 Kwh available.

Had to run the REX today and when parking the car noticed the cooling system sound was different from a previous session. The sound was more like a large fan running at a rather high speed to cool. On a different occasion, I think I had the car preconditioning which was making more of a air...

Wondering if this is normal. After a full L2 charge, I typically have to move my car to a parking spot before leaving for the day. I typically immediately a mile or 2 of reported range making a very short move from one parking spot to another lets say .1 miles. Is this normal?

Had my first drive in a hard rain with the i3. Was happy the car handled it well overall. Just wish the wipers were a little more enthusiastic as they barely kept up with the rain. That said, I had 20 miles of range which should have been plenty to get me to my destination. 15 miles in, my...

Pick a standard tire size for the i3 so we aren't stuck with one manufacturer. Would be nice if they were just a bit wider, more durable. Maybe go down to a 17 inch.

One issue with the i3 that has me a little concerned. The acceptable rating on the seats and headrest. I've read a few different things surrounding this issue, but part of the story doesn't line up. Meaning, I don't have a clear understanding of which things were done to address the problem...

I knew this was done by the Fast DC Chargers, but is this normal for L2 chargers too? Charging at 6.1 Kwh then tapers near the end.

Have any of you seen fraying or pilling of the seat belt? Would that be covered under warranty? If not, any idea how much to replace?

Is it possible to get the three tile display on the iDrive screen on a 2015? Is there an updated version of the software to allow this functionality?

Saw a video on tightening the BMW i3 door handle after seeing what looked like too much extension of the door handle. There is a plastic bit at the end of the door handle that can extend beyond the hold which is a small square that's quite a bit larger than the actual protruding plastic part...

Just recently bought a Rex 2015 with about 60 miles of range. Thought this would go farther, but seems real world range is closer to 50 miles when preconditioning and having the car sit overnight. Would like to know others charging requirements experience.

I was a bit let down by how the charging stations rates in my area. $2.00 an hour at. 6.3 Kwh or at best 32 cents a Kwh. That doesn't pan out well from a cost perspective vs. gasoline at 2.50 per gallon for about the same range. Wanted to know if this the common rate. Seems like they could...

If I run out of battery range, then leave the car off overnight with no charging cable, will I be able to start it up and go the next day? Don't know how much battery the US version REX will preserve.

I've noticed some of my dash lights will blink unexpectedly. The lights don't blink at an expected cadence but an odd rate. Seems to happen on acceleration or deceleration. Anyone else see this kind of behavior? Well, I found a video on youtube with the same issue, looks like there are a few...

When slowly going over speed bumps, is it normal for the front end to have some creeking noise?

Does anyone have a list of items to check/have fixed before the i3 goes out of warranty? The one item I knew to check for 2015 was the motor mount bolt replacement. Any other important or key items that should be checked/done? Regards, Mike

Is it possible to get a battery health analysis from the dealer? Wondering if they can provide insight on how the battery is performing.

Does anyone know if there is a benefit to running hold state of charge mode over running REX basically at the last minute? My guess would be it could be more efficient because the motor could operate at maximum charge efficiency and not have to kick up to maximum output due to real time vehicle...

To keep Rex in good working order. I know there is a Rex maintenance cycle that will run, but is that enough?
