Given the questionable nature of the OP’s post on this thread, could you provide some details on what happened to you?

Could you provide some info on what happened to your car? Posts without any details can seem like fishing expeditions…

Good luck! It seems like the eucalyptus is super popular - I see the new versions selling for triple that of the other trims :(

This site is for electric BMW i3s; you will have more luck at a site like Bimmerpost.

I think I remember reading that the BMW fob comfort access transmission is motion-activated, so fobs sitting somewhere shouldn’t be susceptible. Fobs in a pocket, though,…

How about a used one from a totaled car?

Yes, the cost of getting a second is an unwelcome surprise to those of us new to BMWs.

When retrofitting upgraded factory Mach sound system in an old Sable some years ago, I found a number of the eBay used HU/amp vendors quite helpful with advice on what parts to get. Some of the threads here about e.g. replacing pre-LCI X3 taillights with the LCI "Halo" style ones report that...

Yes; one key thing is that for at time of sale, dealer needs to file *and get accepted by the IRS before physical delivery * via a special online system that the dealer registers in.

I’ve read 0.03 per mile - 3 cents. 30 would indeed be crazy, and you’re right about WA doing a similar charge, but it’s all cars for them! Any add-on gps or tap into my car’s navigation would I’m afraid be quite likely to quickly develop a malfunction :) WA state is already running into...

Yes, sorry for spreading my misremembered info. I must have been thinking about the powertrain.

Yep sorry too 🥱

As long as you have the DC fast charging option in your i3, it works fine. They are one of the major charger networks in my area. Not cheap though, maybe 50-60 cents/kWh (4 miles of range), so maybe the equivalent of $3.50/gallon gasoline. Their app will show you locations and details like...

It also has the California car pool lane stickers and the 2nd cup holder ($90!) is not missing 👍

As you are perhaps in the UK, Lively automotive is a well regarded independent i3 expert there.

Wow those matte colors look great!

This changed for 2024. At time of purchase, you can assign the tax credit to the dealer for them to use. There are rules and procedures, t's to cross and i's to dot, which must be done before or at the sale completion, but it's doable unless the dealer isn't set up for it. Here's the government...

Check out (somewhat complicated) https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/credits-for-new-clean-vehicles-purchased-in-2023-or-after The key is that at time of purchase you can sign over the tax credit to the dealer so it doesn’t matter if you don’t pay enough taxes to use it yourself. It acts...

Remember that if you buy from any dealer (not private party) who knows how to do the correct federal credit paperwork, you can get 30% off up front. That's as long as the car has never had a federal credit applied to it before, is not too old, too expensive, your income last or this year...
