    Painting and clear coat parts

    So after my 2021 i3 was totaled, I purchased a 2019 i3S. Despite the amount of road rash, I wanted the vehicle because it was the sport version with HK stereo.

    How can I reattach this door?

    If you're referring to the white adjustment sprocket, then no. you can access the stud from behind without unscrewing it from the larger white piece. If you want to remove or unscrew it you can and then move the part to a bench for easier access. I have a brass tube with the right outer and...

    How can I reattach this door?

    Yes, you have to take a round tube, the same diameter from the back and push all three tabs in at the same time. This will release the black stud

    Wrapping Roof with Vinyl Film

    So this is the silver 3m color that matches frozen grey. 3m does have a carbon fiber pattern. I remember seeing a black and white CF pattern. I am getting the above in a high gloss version. Will be getting it wrapped next week. I'll post pictures when done.

    How can I reattach this door?

    look at the inside part of the panel See if you can find a post or stud inside a hole. That might be the problem. If you see one, it just needs to be reattached to the door skin and reapplied.

    Actual Subwoofer

    I installed this JBL bass pro subwoofer as shown in this video. I used the high level output as the remote turn on. My only complaint is sometimes there is a little lag in the bass kicking in. Do not notice any reduction in range. Very happy with result. I wanted to tap the least amount of...

    2019 i3s AC Compressor Failure, $4k+, Extremely Disappointed

    yes, agreed. It does not specifically state that the vehicle has to originally be registered in a CARB state. I will contact CARB to see if I can get a clarification. If you ask BMW NA they will say no because it benefits them. But I will contact them today. I pretty sure BMW cannot only...

    2019 i3s AC Compressor Failure, $4k+, Extremely Disappointed
