    Soundproofing to reduce road noise and boominess?

    I find a lot of the sounds in the i3 to be "too much" when driving over rough surfaces or at highway speed. Has anyone attempted to add soundproofing material (mass-loaded vinyl) to the doors, or other areas? One other thought to reduce boominess over bumpy roads was to add butyl sound...

    Broke side mirror glass - which replacement part?

    Hi all, 2017 Terra REx, all packages, 4/17 build. I broke the passenger side mirror glass and am having a difficult time find the exact (or a suitable) part. https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=1Z63-USA-04-2016-I01-BMW_i-i3_94Ah&diagId=51_9184 This part looks correct, while FCP...

    Metallic rattle sound from passenger side over deep bumps

    I’m hearing a metallic sound that almost sounds like two coins touching when going over deep bumps. It’s from the left side, possibly the seat or dash. I have removed everything from the car and searched for loose objects, but no luck. Has anyone heard this before? Thoughts on diagnosing it?

    Recurrent for tracking battery health?

    Has anyone linked Recurrent to their i3? I am curious if there is any phantom drain, and if the pinging wakes the car to start HVAC or any other effects. It seems like a great service.

    Not getting notifications

    Not getting notifications, or emails on replies to topics. I tried to change the notification settings by ticking each box. On clicking submit it says preferences were updated, but they are unticked when returning. Am I missing something?

    Inner tire wear - need alignment or normal?

    Just picked up an i3 REx and loving it so far. The tires are all 2/32 on the insides, 4/32 on the outsides. Is this considered normal for the car or does it need a better alignment?

    Hardwiring dashcam: ground terminal?

    I would like to hardwire my dashcam with parking mode. I believe there are switched, and constant power sources in the passenger footwell fusebox. Is there a good grounding location?

    Comfort: 2014-2017 vs 2018+ ?

    I ordered a 2017 REx on the strength of a weeklong test drive in a 2018 REx model. I was particularly impressed by the suspension's ability to isolate the cabin from the road. I just learned that the LCI update for 2018 was not only cosmetic but included some suspension and/or chassis updates...

    Sound proofing the motor sound?

    I rented an i3 on Turo and truly enjoyed 500 miles in this wonderful car. Only complaint was the motor whine became wearing over time, even though it was very quiet. Has anyone ever sound proofed the i3 to reduce that sound even further?
