    Rex not coming on at 6%?

    Thank you for the reply alohart! I remember my 2019 i3 would kick on Rex about the millisecond the Battery went below 7%. I was surprised at 6% with the A/C running and it being almost 100F outside, that the Rex did not kick on at 6% in my new 2020. I have been reading some "horror"...

    Rex not coming on at 6%?

    Hi. I have had my 2020 i3S Rex for 2 days now (love it). When I took delivery on Sunday 9/27/20, the dealer did not have time to charge my car. They delivered it to me with about 35 miles of range. I was able to make it home on the charge, but I was kind of hoping the Rex would have kicked...

    Back to an i3 and to this great Forum :)

    Hi all. I bought a 2019 i3S Rex in Sept. 2019 and BMW bought it back from me in Dec. 2019 due to many repairs on the Rex generating system leaking fuel and causing a constant CEL to come on and stay on. I took delivery yesterday of a new 2020 i3S Rex. I went with the same colour as my 2019...

    Tinting the i3's Sunroof Glass

    I had my entire glass moonroof tinted with thermal/ceramic tint almost immediately when I took delivery of my 2019 i3S. It makes a huge difference! I also tinted the side and rear windows and it was the best decision ever!!!

    Identifying Interior/Exterior Rattles

    Electronchaser....I did not get another i3S when BMW bought back my '19. I got a new Jaguar I-Pace HSE. Love, love it. Build quality and materials match Bentley or Rolls-Royce and you can hear a pin drop even driving on horrible roads. I can honestly say, besides my Phantoms and full size...

    Identifying Interior/Exterior Rattles

    Great work electronchaser. A friend did a similar thing you did (foam) on his last few Miatas. Made a huge difference!

    Identifying Interior/Exterior Rattles

    I was beyond disappointed in a 2019 BMW, costing almost $60k. BMWs I have been in and owned, many costing much less had better interior build quality!!!

    Identifying Interior/Exterior Rattles

    My 2019 i3S was the most rattly car I have owned in decades. On smooth roads and freeways....very quiet though. On roads that were not perfect....OMG! Dash board, steering column (or under it), driver and passenger doors, side panels, windows......RATTLE, RATTLE. Plastic on plastic sounds and...

    How often do you charge?

    My 2019 i3S would get roughly 130-150 miles on a full charge depending (of course) on outside temp and if I was doing mostly side street, freeway or canyon driving. I would usually charge 2x a week.

    Things I Dislike About My i3

    One should not use ammonia Windex (or any ammonia glass cleaner) on tinted windows, but using Windex or similar window cleaners on exterior glass is fine. It's also safe for non-tinted interior glass as well. What do you think the dealer uses? Car washes? Car detailers? If not actually the...

    Things I Dislike About My i3

    Btw, I LOVED, LOVED the glass rear on my i3. It's really cool and easy to clean...Windex. LOL I thought it was a genius design!!

    Things I Dislike About My i3

    I found the A/C in my 2019 i3S to be outstanding and the heat and heated seats were near instant. My dislikes: -No power seats! For almost $60k, this is unacceptable. -Dash and Door material! I know how environmental the material is, but I had to explain it to everyone who saw it. Looks...

    I3 vs i3s new member

    When I got my 2019 i3s in Sept, I chose the S for the looks being honest! The non-S has slightly higher range, but the i3s just looks so good....the slightly flared wheel arches and different rear and front bumpers make the car look really cool. If you can swing it, for sure get the i3s.

    Next ICE car - advice

    I've had 2 BMW diesels and I love them. I would go with the 330d. I know you don't want one, but the 335d is much better!!

    New 2019 120 Pack Operation

    I believe it is stated that the i3 uses the 2.2 gallon tank for worldwide markets now, including the USA. Sadly, you cannot engage the Range Extender manually in the USA, like several other markets allow :( Such a shame. Range Extender will engage automatically when your battery is around...

    auf Wiedersehen 2019 i3S Rex

    My beloved little 2019 i3S was surrendered on Monday 12/16. BMW handled the buyback so professionally and kindly. The Rep. met me at my local dealer, returned my down payment in full (with a little extra ;) and they cancelled my lease. I will greatly miss my i3S, but after 3 major repairs to...

    BMW says i3 REX is done!!

    art....continued Check Engine light from fuel vent valves & saturated carbon/charcoal canisters :( BMW has been great (they are a wonderful company), but I feel really bummed. I love my i3, but BMW agreed with me that all these repairs are not acceptable on a brand new car. My car is only a...

    BMW says i3 REX is done!!

    I just spent about 10-15 mins on the phone with BMWNA, and according to them the 2020 i3 is already in production and several markets have already received 2020 models. BMWNA confirmed with me that a 2020 i3 is 100% confirmed for the USA, but for some odd reason the release date is not shown...
