Considering all the costs of round trip travel and lodging, meals, etc - shipping a car is not more expensive than a road trip. Either way, it’s worth it if you find the right car.

Me too, but have not seen one other than mine. I know they are out there though!

Do you have a second fob, maybe in the glove box/owners manual package?

I can’t provide a credible reference right now but I believe that cars with the 94 ah batteries were coded to use the full capacity of the fuel tank from the factory. My 2017 94 ah Rex fuel range estimate runs in the neighborhood of 88 miles when full and with the car in Eco Pro. I then used...

I’m pretty sure my 2017 Rex’s blue charge indicator light goes off after a while even when the car is unlocked. I generally charge immediately - plug in, check dash display to confirm charging and duration, and walk away confident it will be fully charged in the morning. I think people run...

Those CFP panels are really durable. I have a 2017 and don’t baby it and it still looks like new..

Nice work!

Doesn’t make sense you would get an O2 sensor code when the Rex isn’t running. I wonder if it is being stored after doing a maintenance self check? I would ask bmw to look at the O2 sensor wiring harness. Maybe it is touching the exhaust manifold.

The car will only pull so much current. As long as the Tesla charger isn’t tripping the circuit breaker (which should be sized to protect the wiring) you’ll be fine.

Junk hanging from the rear view mirror obstructing drivers view forward.

I have a Grizzl-E Classic which is a basic charger without Wi-Fi or app. I set the current limit DIP switches for 32A to match the capacity of the i3. It’s plugged into a quality Hubbell NEMA 14-50 receptacle off of a sub panel on a 40A breaker. The sub panel was installed on a 50A breaker in my...

Making a truly accurate informed cost comparison is difficult for the average person because there are so many unknown variables. I do know impirically that charging at a public station ranges from 35 cents per kw on up to who knows how much at a highway rest stop. Ethanol-free premium gas costs...

My situation is much like John Francis’ above. I bought a used 2017 Rex and haven’t had any problems with it so far. I tend to use it once a month during trips to the “big city” while driving on the interstate. I go back to battery when in town, and then the Rex again on the way home...

Car2.jpg doesn’t appear to be an i3. Categorize things that didn’t happen for $100

I also use the Proclip i3 bracket with a wireless charging holder that I think may have been discontinued. They have one made specifically incorporating the iPhone mag safe charger which is the one I would get today. https://www.proclipusa.com/collections/phone-holders-apple-iphone-12-pro

I found my i3 Rex in the back corner of the service/detailing bay of a Chrysler-Jeep dealer in Fort Dodge, Iowa (USA) in February 2023. It was loaded with I think every available option. Sunroof, Harmon-Kardon, Tera leather upholstery, Tech and comfort packages. It was as far as I could tell in...

Could it be the latch mechanism that detects the j1772 charger plug insertion? Since it’s somewhat intermittent maybe operate the latch a few times after plugging in? Or shoot some silicon spray in that portion of the receptacle?

Another consideration would be keeping the purchase price below $25,000 so I could take the $4000 used EV tax credit (assuming purchase from a dealer).
