    Is REx worth it?

    Just one advice: No Rex! Buy a 120 Ah version! Why?: Less weight, more ev mileage. Less maintenance, so much lower running costs. Rex owners use the Rex almost never . Results of a bmw survey. That's why they ended selling them in Europe. You can use the space of the Rex for extra storage...

    My intro message. BMW i3S is brilliant, but needs big range Solid State battery

    You're missing the point. The car has a rather big depreciation due to older battery tech. If that can be updated, (charging speed and capacity) the value will be fine. The car has a a bright future due to the building quality and materials used.

    My intro message. BMW i3S is brilliant, but needs big range Solid State battery

    Lion smart is a strange company. I wrote them an email a few times. Never ever got even a reply. They're apparently not that interested in the ev community. I don't know how, but they're connected to BMW. Probably they're not allowed to give customer support to BMW I3 owners.

    New battery for the i3 and higher charging speed update

    Dear Jadnshuanh, It is interesting to see how different perceptions can be in different countries. I live in The Netherlands and Germany and there are very many DC chargers (Free and paid) around at shopping centres and at the highways. Many from Fastned, Shell and Ionity. I believe that The...

    New battery for the i3 and higher charging speed update

    As promised by bmw, they’ll produce the i3 till 2024. So far the good news.... But in an earlier statement it was also mentioned that there would be a new bigger battery combined with a higher charging speed. Till now, it’s very quiet around this hopefully upcoming update. Does anyone has some...

    Exchange front bumper i3 for a i3s model? Lower part.

    Thanks for your answer again. It would be relaxed to have the updated pictures to see how to remove and connect the new bumper. Do you have any experience with removing the sensors out of the bumper. I’ve been reading somewhere it is important to keep them connected to avoid a fault message in...

    Exchange front bumper i3 for a i3s model? Lower part.

    I actually had the same idea. There is a little difference that I found in item Nr. 2. On the far right , vertical edge, there are 3 little pins on the i3s, with a little gap between the upper and the lower 2. If you look at the i3, then there is a pin at that point. But the bumper of the i3s...

    Parking Assist not available on the 2020 i3 models

    Dear Tim, If I’m right you have a i3S. The Park Assist is nowhere in the world available on the “s” version. This is due a missing sensor near the front wheel and due to the fact the car is a little wider. There was no easy solution to solve this... according a bmw engineer I spoke. I hope...

    Exchange front bumper i3 for a i3s model? Lower part.

    Good morning all! Here a happy Bmw i3 model 2019 driver. I love the car and the handling a lot. I wanted the i3 version iso the i3s model due to range. During nice days I can make a 270-300 km range, what I love. But... I like the front bumper of the i3s more. After checking the details it...
