I found this video that makes it look pretty easy to remove the panels and do a venal wrap. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijNRPEc57l0

How much fuel can a coded 2014-2016 use? How much fuel can a stock 2017 use?

Here is a working link to the group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/BMWi3/

I get message from Facebook that the link is broken.

Jad, The thing is, accelerating slowly is not really difficult to do in comfort mode. Turning off the AC, not difficult. The computer looks for the need to defrost? Is that documented someplace? And of course it would need to find the need and then refuse due to the ECO mode. That...

I applaud any kind of experimentation like this, but I have to wonder how much range he is loosing with added weight? Is he really going farther? Also the linked article implies he is pulling to the side of the road and charging his batteries with the tailgate open for 30-45 minutes. And this...

Kristian, The removable cup holders can be pretty stuck in place. Monstrous pulling straight up is one option, but a little side to side jiggling while pulling up will make them pop out pretty easily.

I understand ECO Pro makes the car accelerate at a slower rate for a given push on the accelerator pedal. And ECO Pro+ probably does this more, AND it turns off any Climate control (but not the fan). Though 100% power and top speed seem unchanged. But I can turn off the climate control, and...

As far as can you empty the tank?, no. The USA 2014-16 i3s only let you burn 1.9 gallons of the 2.5 gallon tank. This could be software upgraded to use more, but how much more is a bit of a mystery. My 2017 USA model seems to be limited to 2.2 gallons. In any case the REx seems to keep a...

It seems like it is limited just like the 14-16, just to a different number. 2.1 vs 1.9. About 10% more. This seems to jibe with the range predictions on REx that only jump from 78 to 83 with the 2017 model. (according to Wikipedia) What is the most anyone has put into a tank on a modded...

Cool there are some options. Bimmertech and....? "I found another company that's is made in USA and many people use" Cool but what is the name of that company?

OK I understand the 2014-2016 REx models had their fuel tank software limited to 1.9 gallons. There is actually 2.4 (or is it 2.5?) salons of fuel in there. But after using 1.9 gallons the computer stops the REx. I have a 2017. Is my tank also software limited? I ran it out of fuel, and it...

There is an old joke where Bill Gates is at a business conference with a bunch of other CEOs and he proudly states: At a recent computer expo, Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has...

The panel gaps at the hood are very large but consistant. On mine and others that I have seen. I think they were done that way by BMW on purpose, but it's not clear why. Gaps between the doors and fenders are much smaller for example. The front cup holder is tough to remove in mine. It...

If you don't know Doug DeMouro his reviews can be pretty entertaining. Don't take it too personally... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLfRPT5sEEI

Very cool. I have done some wrap myself and may I've this a shot. I was thinking of doing the roof as summer comes to see if it makes the car any cooler.

Does Spring Break count? I had my 12 year old for a week of Spring break. We took a 3 day road trip from Vienna Va (near Wash DC) to Richmond, then to Kingsport TN then Back. This was the first long road trip in my 2017 i3REx. I learned: 1. Don't walk away from a charger unless you are...

I have a 2017 REX and ran it out of fuel on the freeway just the other day. I heard the motor stop, but there were no extra warnings or anything. Driving seemed unaffected. I think it was at 4% battery when this happened. I was able to drive about 1 mile to gas station, and the battery said...

That is an interesting think to know about the REx. I have the Rex and was always impressed at how much heat it created. Even when running on the REx.
