Just leased an i3 from an out of town dealer. Was stunned to realize when half way home that the car in Rex mode is incapable of going the 70mph highway speed limit. Was stuck going 52 mph up a slight incline while semi trucks came bearing down on me. I couldn't consistently keep a speed anywhere near 70.
Bought the Rex thinking I'd be able to do road trips with just the inconvenience of frequent fill ups, but didn't realize I'd be stuck with a dangerously slow car incapable of driving at a standard speed.
So does BMW have a standard way out of this? Or will it have to get messy with lawyers and state lemon laws? I travel out of town far too frequently to have a car that can't go more than 45 minutes on the highway without becoming a sputtering traffic hazard.
