    Drivetrain Malfunction

    It happened to my 2014 i3 twice before it was out of warranty and the dealer never and record of it because it was gone by the time I got it to the dealer. Then when ti was 9 months out of warranty it came on again and stayed on, i took it to the dealer and after having the car a day looking for...

    i3 REX Airflow in Passenger Compartment

    In my opinion it is short sighted to not allow the free flow of air at any speed. Don't give a dam about what is viewed as best for efficiency, not to mention the fact that I do not agree with others perception of what is best for me! All the other cars I have owned allowed for free air flow...

    Service required already?

    You know you're going to take a bath on a trade. Not the good kind either.

    siphon gas

    I don't know where you got your figures, but based on the i3 app it calculates approximately 1200 lbs of CO2 saved per 2000 miles. So that translates to about 7200 lbs per 12000 miles. So that is 6 ton saved at your $40/ ton or $240. And you sure got my attention, just what are the other reasons...

    REX maintenance failure

    I second you comment, I to have had an exceptional car then, only had the gas tank pressure sensor replaced. Had the check engine light for that only and nothing else. Just now entering 14 month of ownership.

    snow tires for i3

    I drove all winter last year on the stock 19 inch all season tires in north central Ohio,did not have any problems. Dedicated snow tires are a huge waste of money in my book. I used to by separate winter tires for my cars, but today the all season tires are so much better and i don't have the...

    Possible 100+ mile range in ECO PRO+ ?

    I frequently get 99 to 103 mile range in my Rex in comfort mode during the summer.

    Can REX be added aftermarket?

    Actually that was discussed previously and you would only get about 6 miles of range per hour from a 2 kWh generator and i doubt it would fit in the frunk. Plus you could not drive while charging. Not practical.

    Can REX be added aftermarket?

    Probably cheaper to trade the bev in for a new rex.

    Software Update is 3.56.4.003

    Ok it sounds like we agree, probably the differences in the english language between the US and UK. I would not call 1 kWh increase of usable battery as something that is "absolutely crucial" ! :roll: :mrgreen:

    Software Update is 3.56.4.003

    100% disagree, if problems exist they should be fixed,and I have apparently a top notch dealer because I never have to wait for my car to be fixed. However I do not like the fact that the dealer can not tell us what the updated will do so we can choose. However having said that a 5% increase in...

    Software Update is 3.56.4.003

    To enter the menu, hold down the trip meter button on the side of the instrument cluster screen for 10 seconds. From then on, pressing this button means "next" and holding down the button means "select". To begin with you have only these options available: 1 Identification 1.01 Conv. Index...

    Software Update is 3.56.4.003

    I am not 100% sure, but after the update the regen seem to be slightly less aggressive, and yes the rang estimation is different and for me it still underestimates my driving style. Additionally if you check the usable capacity of the battery in the hidden menu on the main screen, mine is now...

    185 miles no stop today

    On Wednesday this week I drove 91 miles with 8 miles range still indicated on the battery, I have the Rex, but it was not used or needed I had 12% SOC left which I believe the guess o meter was underestimating the 8 miles left. So 99 miles or possibly calculating it should have indicated 12...

    BMW may have to up the ante soon...

    I think your math is off slightly, 3%/4000 miles would only be 9% @ 12000 miles! 12000/4000 = 3x, not 4x if it is linear. You can't compare the two directly because of the different chemistry. Then again once the initial loos occurs it could even slow down.Llet see at that rate BMW will be...

    Our first long distance Rex trip

    Cool, I would like to make a 500 mile trip myself, but I am in Ohio and want to go to virginia, problem is mountains and not much charging in between here and the east coast where I might find a CCS would be at the end of the trip. (2014 i3Rex) Still thinking about trying it
