Now I will try and share what my first 5yrs of ownership and what it has entailed. The maintenance I DIY, and repairs I have had to do on my i3. First, I have put on about 39k miles. I bought it as a certified BMW back in 2019.
The problems that I have had and what BMW covered under warranty. Maintenence required and my repairs out of pocket.
