Hi all, totally new here and new to the i3. I just started looking at possibly buying a used i3 for local errands/running around. I won't need it for long road trips and have another car to use when range would be an issue. So I'm looking for something reliable, green and fun to drive within a short range of home and the i3 seems a fairly good fit and seems to have decent reviews, but I wanted to check with the owners/experts here.
I'm a bit of a geek and would like to get into the metrics of the car and track the range etc. automatically if possible. I saw there's an unofficial API to the car (https://github.com/edent/BMW-i-Remote/) and that seems like a good fit.
I'm looking at a 2014 non-REX version in the $18K price range.
So a few questions:
1) What's the real-world range in regular 72F type weather for running around (city)?
2) What's the real-world range in the winter (say 20F) for running around (city)?
3) I have an RV outlet at home (NEMA 14-50) can I use that to charge it?
4) Can anyone confirm that that API (https://github.com/edent/BMW-i-Remote/) works with the 2014 i3 and there are no real issues in using it?
5) Is the price (BMW CPO) reasonable?
6) What else should I know before jumping into it?
Thanks in advance.
