I want to upgrade my 2018 BMW i3 BEV with a larger screen and Android module. Can you recommend one? I've seen some modules under $200 on eBay but not sure if they're what I need. Thanks! Ketchup

Any guides out there for performing maintenance yourself? I have the BEV model so I'm guessing it's more user-friendly. I was thinking about checking & replacing brake fluid, checking the computer maintenance diagnostics, etc.

ENate: I haven't figured out how to do that yet.

So I used a hair dryer with almost great results. A little bit of that sticky residue is left. Can I use a Goo Gone alongside the hair dryer? Thanks! BK

Connected services? I do have the BMW app on my phone if that's what you mean.

My wife's car comes with Android Auto and I love it. The BMW GPS is lacking by comparison. Is there a way to get Android Auto in this car? Mind you I don't hate on everything that the entertainment system has and would like to keep some functionality. Thanks!

That seems straightforward but what about general detailing? Like when should I polish, wax, use compound? When should I avoid using these product? Also, I have a six-inch orbital buffer but what kind of brush heads should I use for each application? Let me know if you can help with this. I...

Wow, all these cleaning products. I end up havivg no clue what to use.

I have dried up silhouettes of what was previously water drops on my hood, roof, etc. I've seen some recommendations but can you recommend something that worked for your car? Thanks!

I have some HOV "Access OK" stickers on my i3 but I'm worried about damaging the paint or being permanently left with a silhouette of the decal if I try removing it improperly. Can you suggest anything that could help me remove it correctly? Thanks!

I test drove an i3 and it reported the Batt Kappa Max is 29.3. it's a 2018 Deka World with 30,000 miles on it. Is that good or bad?

Some really great responses here, thank you. A lot of questions come up: I don't mind installing a new charger but wanted to know how much that would cost TBH, and do I need new conduit or can I replace the existing outlet & appropriate breakers with a 240 Volt outlet? And how much is a...

Buying a used 2018 i3 Deka World with 30,000 miles on it. Just a few questions about ownership: 1. They told me that the battery has a 70% warranty until 8 years / 100,000 miles on it, so I'd assume I'm good on that front unless there's something I'm overlooking, but what's the cost of...

That's a good point.

What benefits? I'm all for driving something that emits less pollution if that's what you're referring to, unless it's something else.

The price is $16,000. No backup camera but it does have backup sensors. It does have a center screen which I wasn't able to get fully acclimated with. Not sure about the remaining packages but it is a "94 +Rex" per the BMW app. I did the math and there is no real incentive for me to get the...

2017 i3 Deka World Rex, and 20k is with the full warranty, and after taxes and fees and trade-in.

So the model of i3 I drove today is the 2017 Rex. I downloaded the BMW app on my phone but was left with a few questions: 1. The voice button actually opened up the Google Assistant on my phone. I was hoping it would let me speak a GPS destination but it kept opening up the Google Assistant...

LOL I'm still on the fence. Here are the numbers: Current Car: $14,462 still owed. $312 per month. 17,200 miles BMW i3 $20,869 for the car with a dealership 100,000 mile / 5-year warranty. $326 per month 55,000 miles The thing is that it would cut my gas bill, so lets say I normally spend...

Wow - that F'in sucks. I'm wondering if it's more common that not, such as what percent of BMW i3 drivers have had issues like this. It's almost as if you should be a certified mechanic in order to drive one. Most people I know lease their BMWs, so they just give it back after 2 years, which...
