He was asking if it fit because it wasn't showing in the compatibility chart, hence my reply. No other inferences were made, including DOT approval. Some of us may objectively consider performance ahead of regulatory approval.

They fit. They're the same as the ones Godfollower referenced in his bimmerfest post (his listing had ended and these are the re-posted items). With respect to distance throw, it's difficult to be exact (I didn't perform the Pepsi challenge, i.e., one in each side). Overall distance may be...

I got these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/221484981618 Look like the same bulbs but cheaper.

@elptex Perhaps you're right. I certainly wasn't calibrated to the feeling. I'll give it a go on some secluded road and see if it feels the same. Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. I'll add that I concur on the stability of the car under panic braking. It was tracking straight and true for sure. From personal experience, I've owned a few cars with bonafide 60-0mph stopping distances in the 100ft range and this did not feel like that. Perhaps it's...

Has anyone had the "opportunity" to experience the panic braking performance of their i3? It happened today during rush hour on the interstate courtesy of a driver who cut me off and proceeded to come to a stop as they examined their lane options (There were a few choice words shared). Anyway...

Congrats on the new car! I also have a BMW wallbox and it exhibits the same behaviour. I originally attributed it to a bug but later discovered the charging cycle did not start at the time the charging window opened, but rather some time later. I believe the algorithm calculates how much time...

That was hilarious :lol:

Heard back from my service advisor today (BMW Mountain View, CA): "I spoke with my shop foreman about your vehicle and we submitted a suggested repair solution to BMW which should rectify the issue with the rear panels. Yours is not the only vehicle that has been affected. It is just poor...

Glad to hear it. Now go back to better things like enjoying the car :)

Picked up the car from the dealer and was told they had to call BMW to get the approved repair procedure for reattaching the panels. My guess is they're figuring it out on the fly. Unfortunately, the fix was already coming apart by the time I went to pick up the car. My service advisor is now...

I'm sure this is old news, but the Mountain View DC fast charge is working fine now. I stopped there a couple of days ago, activated my card, and picked up about 50% charge in (what seemed like) a blink of an eye. Very cool.

Flashing blue means it's in the process of charging. Sorry if this is being pedantic, but here are all the color codes for the charging station LED: Solid blue -- Ready for charging Flashing blue -- Charging Solid green -- Charging interrupted with Stop/Start button Solid red -- Detected...

Telubit, what color is the LED on the charging station? It should be steady blue if it's ready for charging. If it's red, the station is locked and will not charge. There is a key inside the compartment above the plug dock for locking and unlocking the station. The button only serves to...

Congrats on the purchase! I have the BMW charging station too (free thanks to my dealer). The blue light will blink once or twice when first establishing the connection. You'll also hear the relay (contactor) trip back and forth. The light flashes continuously while charging. It stays...

Finally got the car to BMW Mountain View to have these panels repaired as well as a couple of other things. The service people seem to be extremely helpful. My advisor informed me they have 6 trained i3 techs on staff now. To repair the panel attachment, they are replacing the black inner...

While chasing down a rattle in my car, I noticed the plastic trim panel above the passenger windows had come loose near the hatchback. Opening the hatch reveals a black plastic inner piece to the actual panel. Holding the black piece to the CFRP life module is a strip of double-sided foam...

That makes sense. Thanks.

Had the opportunity today to pay closer attention to the short cycle restart. This time, the "off time" was minutes (long enough to make a purchase at the local hardware store). Like yesterday, the climate control remembered its position and state from when I turned it off -- in this case, the...

Yesterday, I had to move my car a few minutes after parking and locking it up. To my surprise, the fan control remained in the off position (as I had left it). I really wish I had paid more attention to the drive mode but I think it also remained in Eco+. Unless this was a one-off glitch, it...
