    Vehicle For Sale 2019 BMW i3, 28,300 miles, new tires

    The credit can be last year's adjusted gross income or THIS year's Adjusted gross income, which ever is lower. 75K filing single or 150K filing joint. So there is a two year window on income which the potential buyer can use. GOOD LUCK. Love your car

    BimmerCode vs something better

    The coding bimmer. forums are pretty comprehensive but also overwhelming. The bottom line, TJA and headlight modifications (disabled in 2019 and newer) needs to modify the VO file which is not possible using Bimmercode. It an only be done with the E-sys software and related cable. The Vehicle...

    The one thing I dislike about my 2021 i3s

    I never thought it was plastic but fake leather. But yes, it is not very soft

    Painting an i3's Roof

    On the very back of the roof trim, there is double sided tape. I think it's because the C-pillar dives down and they decided not to put in a clip but I'm not sure. I only know some people have reported the very back part next to the rear hatch is loose and they notice double sided tape. I'll...

    ROOF TRIM

    it's for aesthetics and doesn't seal anything. The A-pillar would need to come off in order to replace it and if you've watched any videos on front windshield removal you'll know it's not easy. I would not remove the trim just to replace the gasket.

    Painting an i3's Roof

    So I may be helping a fellow I3 owner who wants to fix his roof finish. When we start the repair, I will make a new post documenting the process. I have offered the use of my garage for the repair.

    Painting an i3's Roof

    So I know a paint rep who exclusively represents Tnemec paints. They mainly do commercial and industrial projects. I contacted him and this is what he suggested for Carbon Fiber or Fiberglass: a color tinted (color matched) Epoxy primer with UV stable clear-coat on top. He is suggesting (2)...

    Windshield replacement in Southern California

    Watch this video. It shows the difficulty of removing the A-pillar covers which sit on TOP of the windshield and hides or covers where they have to cut the seal on the sides. The rubber trim is somewhat forgiving. I removed mine and it was a little wrinkly but settled down after a few days...
