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

    thanks for the PDF. I did know about it when I leased my first BMW i3 in 2018. I have not brought it up to anyone in my dealership because so far, I have not had to discuss it with them. Glad you got it sorted. They know nothing about our vehicles let alone something in the manual. Now they...

    Who is the company that makes hatch struts with spring assist to kick the hatch open?

    I've see it attempted on some VW's a quick search and found the link to an Audi forum. I don't think our post in the Carbon Fibre is going to be strong enough. https://www.a2oc.net/community/index.php?threads/the-boot-gas-strut-springs-mod-warning-do-not-fit-them.47593/

    Removed (poorly) HOV stickers, then again the right way!

    The used car dealer removed mine but managed to put a nice chip on the lower bumper behind the rear wheel well. 😡

    Great to hear! it's even in your owner's manual. So how did you get the dealer to accept responsibility? I live in a CARB state as well. The rest of us need to know :(

    2021 Galvanic Gold Metallic BEV

    The hair dryer is a good idea. I'm not sure if those stickers have a plastic front if you can get them to just paper it should be easier to remove. Have you seen or can you get automotive goo gone where you live? It is safe on paint. https://a.co/d/03u3GNRQ GO SLOW and do not rush. The...

    It's possible for you to remove the A-pillar trim covers BEFORE you give it to them. Only if you think they will not be careful. There are many stories of Dealers breaking the tabs and then charging you to get new pieces which have to be painted. I have a spare set of A-pillar covers L&R...

    2021 Galvanic Gold Metallic BEV

    beautiful! thanks for sharing. my 2019 is also a california car and I hope you do a better job of not damaging the paint when you remove the stickers on the bumper. I had my rear bumper wrapped but the person who removed it was not careful.

    thanks. I only ask because my 2019S was a California car and they must have driven it behind every gravel truck or only on gravel roads. My windshield has many many chips when the sun hits it at the right angle. good luck with the sale. Love the color Lito

    I have one question: does the front black section or the bumper/hood have any road rash from debris? I know you've said the roof is in good shape and the car is garage kept. I just found your for sale thread. :) thanks, Lito

    thanks Alohart. That sun just kills. I hate looking at the hood in full sun. Nice pics! I still do love the color. So in my life I've had a white 87 VW golf, a white 1999 VW Passat, a 2000 Silver VW Jetta, a 2018 Protonic Blue BMW i3, a white 2021 BMW i3, and now the 2019 Jucaro Beige BMW...

    I am really loving the mineral grey. The cool relates well to the black. It provides a nice contrast Our cars look good in almost all colors. I also like the dark blue. The only color I will not buy is black. The swirls would drive me crazy.

    changing up the look of the rear

    ha ha, that's funny. I just know intuitively dark colors recede that's why if you're chubby wear black and it has a slimming effect. Also some vehicles with nice lines always look better in lighter colors because you see more detail, body lines and the like. Darker colors like black...
