Great forum member alohart sent me this: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=8P23-USA-11-2019-I01N-BMW_i-i3_120Ah&diagId=84_1272

Wasn't it not confirmed on this Forum by a great member, that even showed the part number & diagram that 2018-2020 i3 already has 4G (I asked this question too)? Btw, sending commands via the BMW connected app on my 2020 i3 is as slow as on my 2019 i3 :( Tesla has the app pretty perfected...

Both my former 2019 i3S Rex and my current 2020 i3S Rex are strong when driving on Rex. I have gone up steep freeway passes at 75mph with full A/C and noticed no power loss than when not using Rex. You can hear Rex a little, but it is not obtrusive. 99% of the time I do not use, nor need...

I am on i3 number two now (2019 and now 2020). I have used the Rex for freeway driving, and it is strong. I went up the 405 Getty pass at 75mph with full A/C and did not feel any power reduction at all. I know several people that have driven their i3 Rex cross country. You have to stop every...

I am on my 2nd i3, and I love the KENAF (you can google it, as it is a remarkable material). When I first saw the i3 in 2014, I was honestly shocked and horrified with the Kenaf interior. Now, I appreciate, respect and love it. 2014 to 2020 (and soon 2021 models) all have KENAF. If you...

Sorry to be resurrecting such an old post, but I do have to confirm that tinting the windows in the i3, makes a HUGE difference. In my 2019 i3S and now my new 2020 i3S, I tinted all side windows, rear window and even the glass moonroof with CERAMIC window tinting, and it has made the A/C...

I took delivery of a new 2020 i3S at the very end of Sept. My 2020 came with the same things my 2019 i3S came with....that BMW binder that looks like its made of recycled materials (but kind of cool actually) and it was filled with the manual, warranty info, tire info, dispute info...

Thanks eNate. Not too hard!

I am loving my 2020 i3, but since BMW bought my 2019 i3 back due to continued Rex problems and a near ever present Check Engine Light....it makes me nervous almost every time I start my new i3 and the first time I let Rex come on....I was sweating bullets, LOL. It is just an awful feeling...

Living in So. California with wildfires and smog....I too think the filter should be changed more regularly, just like we do in our homes. Is there an easy way to get to the filter, w/o taking the car or dash apart? Thanks.

Ok, yeah....WOW! I never heard any kind of low speed pedestrian acoustic warning in my 2019 i3, but it is V E R Y there in my 2020. It is kind of a high pitched singing, electronic blue whale mating sound, LOL. While I understand why it is there, I would be very pleased if it went away and...

Nice day today, and very light traffic so I took my new i3 out for a joyride to drain the battery and check on Rex's operation. On my '19 i3S, the REX would come on the second the battery would hit that under 7% SOC. The battery went down lower than in my '19, but my 2020 Rex fired right up...

Congratulations. You will love your i3 and this great Forum...so many informed, helpful and friendly people here!

THANK YOU :) This Board does rock. So happy to be back!

Thank you alohart. Trying to find out if post LCI i3 did in fact get a 4G module update. Can't find anything yet. If you find it, please post and I will do the same. Thanks so much!

Thanks Websterize! Yes, you are right about highway driving. The i3S feels MUCH better at higher speeds than the non-S i3 Even though my 2019 i3S was bought back (and gave me 4 months of headaches)....I loved driving it and looking at it. There is something about the i3 (S and non-S) that is...

Great post. Thank you. Speaking of tech...has anyone started some kind of a class action lawsuit regarding our Connected apps? The i3 and several other "older" model BMWs will lose their 3G Connected app when 3G is no longer used by or before December 2021. Once 3G is gone, in a year or...

Thanks Bocabimmer! I am really happy to be back in my i3. In regards to differences between the i3 and i3S, I have only driven a non-s (standard i3) as a dealer loaner when my i3S was being serviced in 2019. I liked them both, and besides from a few extra "horsepower" and sportiness when...

Thank you Fisher99. I hope so too. I LOVED my '19 i3, so as long as the 2020 is well behaved, it will be a love affair. Even after all the trouble the '19 caused me and BMW bought it back...I missed it, and never stopped thinking about it :D

Thanks for replying BL5 and Jadna! I do understand that I can force a Rex start with emissions test mode, but I do want to make sure Rex will auto engage in case I am in motion, especially on the highway. I am not too concerned if Rex will turn on by force (as I am under full warranty if a...
