Have a 2019 REX with sunroof. I really like the sunroof but of course it does get noisy at higher speeds. As it is winter I haven't opened it in a few months. To my surprise pushing the button last week did nothing. I then slid the button backwards for a moment and it tilted open just...

Buying a 2019 i3s REX, have a 7 day trial with it. I noticed a slight rattle in front - maybe under dash? I'm worried it will be annoying, I love the quiet of the car. Anyone have a similar experience and success troubleshooting? Hate to give the car back, prices are going up quickly with the...

Hi, My i3 REX lease is coming due at the worst possible time with gas prices high and everyone suddenly buying the i3. It doesn't help that they stopped making them! I was looking to step up to the 2019 i3s. One I found for a decent price has 51k miles. Though I compared 20k vs 51k miles...

Hi Leasing a 2019 i3 Rex. I don't really want to tear things up inside but interested in a dashcam with minimal wires showing. Hiding the camera would be even better. Was thinking about mounting the camera in the bumper area under the frunk. Looks like there are open grills down there. I...

I normally drive with the active cruise control turned on and set to the speed limit. I figure besides tickets I can avoid running into unseen objects. A few days ago I was driving along a 2 lane wide street behind a white F-150 pickup truck with silver bumper and large tow hitch. The light...

After searching the forum I am unable to find the number of miles I which I can bring it in and have them replace the batteries. When I went in for service I asked him to check the batteries and all they did was charge it and see that it said 70 miles of range remaining which is ok by them. I...

Hi When the car is parked and off, I get a warning tone and the above message when I open the unlocke trunk or a door. It then disappears after about 10 seconds. The key is at least 10 feet away from the car when in the garage, and I have just changed the batteries in both fobs (had the car...

Hi, Seems simple enough, I'd like to run a USB cord from the cigarette lighter area into the glove box. I don't mind drilling a hole through the bottom of the glove box but unsure of what is below it and from what I can see looking underneath might be challenging to jam through. I apologize...

Hi, have the 2014 US model. I use the right and left arrows on the dashboard to rewind/fast forward a number of seconds during podcasts on my phone. It works great but was wondering if there are any tricks to using buttons on the steering wheel to accomplish the same function without the long...

I'm interested in turning down the volume of the alarm and the acoustic arming sounds. Has anyone replaced their siren? Or should I just covered with tape or similar? I suppose first I need to find it! Thanks for any advice.

Weird. Since last July when I took possession of the car, the lights flashed once when locking and twice when unlocking. I prefer the acoustic alert turned off since it is far too loud for my neighbors. About a month ago I noticed the lights do not flash when locking. They do flash twice when...

Hi all, Thought I would post this for anyone having similar issues. After getting the new iPhone, I was having trouble with the audio fading in and out, especially after the screen went dark with a couple minutes of non-use or switching to a different app. I had high hopes for iOS v8.10 but...

My car sits in direct sun all day (Southern California). Makes me wish it had solar panels on the roof since we don't get sunroofs. I mention this since someone at my office brought up heat as a possible cause. Anyway-about every second or third day the alarm goes off. Sometimes I see a person...

Sadly, didn't realize comfort access does not come in the mega package. I looked again at the build screen and it is not mentioned anywhere as an additional feature on the others until I dig deep into the other pages. I am wondering if the wiring is already there and I could just replace the...

I was a bit surprised BMW does not a roof rack option. Anyone figure out an aftermarket solution or have updated information? Not sure how anything would attach, and not really interested in a soft rack. Thanks for any help!

Let me start by saying I have two kids under the age of five... I opted for the cloth seats figuring they might be possible to repair versus torn leather. Has anyone found car seat covers that would look decent and fit well on these seats? Your help is appreciated!

With luck my car should be arriving in the next week. Is there certain programming I might want to request? When I took delivery of my Mini Cooper there were many options that needed tweaking like how the doors unlocked when turning off the car, etc. Any other advice on taking delivery is...

Hi, I should probably wait two weeks until I actually take delivery, but during my test drive in very sunny weather I noticed a lot of windshield glare/reflection of the top of the dashboard. Has anyone had issue with this? If it turns out it is a problem - aside from buying one of those...

Hi, My i3 arrives to California in 3 weeks. I am considering different charging options. From what I understand it will come with a portable cable charger at 120V which takes 20 hours for a full charge. It sounds like the European cable that comes with the car runs at 220v and can charge the...
