I just bought this grey 2018 i3s a few weeks ago, and I'm super happy with it!
It spent it's life near Vancouver, and now it lives on the Saanich peninsula (near Victoria BC).
It has the HK stereo, no adaptive cruise, black plastic dash, and nice floormats.
It does not have the rex, so I'll try to make use of that space eventually. The kit from Germany is too expensive for me though.

I plan to do some coding soon, but no significant mechanical mods are on the schedule yet. I just received my Veepeak OBDCheck BLE+. Not sure what software to use because I have a macbook and virtual machines are not recommended. Bimmercode?
Just ordered the amazon cooler bag today for the frunk because it's always raining here.
Going to need a trailer hitch pretty soon for my bike rack! The ecohitch doesn't mention the S model so I hope it doesn't require much plastic trim cutting.

It even came with the Grizzl-e home charger, so I wired that in right away :) It lives outside for now, but always plugged in.

I took it to an autoslalom event already, and it was great! I'm used to my 2001 z3m with DSC completely off, so this was a big change. I'll be using this for more events in the future for sure. Next time I'll experiment with roller mode, but ABS is so nice to have. There was a full stop-box finish, and apparently this car stopped best of everything that day.

BimmerLINK and BimmerCODE are the two primary apps that can be used with this car but you have to use your phone, not a laptop.
 
Sure! It might be a while before I get around to buying the hitch, but I'll report back once it's done.
Torklift just shows the same ecohitch that everyone has for the i3, so I'll just buy one online and install it myself.
