Thanks Mark! 2020 i3?! In Canada right? Our dealer here in So. Cal says NO 2020 i3! I don't know if he means for all of 2020, or just for a while! BMW is buying my beloved 2019 i3S back and there are almost NO cars with Tech package, Sport package and the colour I want or like. I would...

New X5 has an inline 6 cylinder, which is much better than the 4 cylinder my 2017 X5 had. The 4 cylinder shockingly had enough power, but it sounded terrible for such an expensive car. 2019/20 X5 does have a better all electric range, but depending on temperature and climate usage...range is...

I do agree with you jadna! I got the Rex mainly due to the devastating fires we had in Nov. 2018. Many of our areas had no power for weeks, but we could get to a few semi local gas stations. Charging at home would have been impossible in a BEV i3, but I figured the Rex would give me security...

Thanks aloha and nadna! I like the "safety blanket" feeling having my Rex, but I have only used it one time on its own, meaning I did not try and purposely drain my battery and use the Range Extender. On a full charge I get between 130-150+ miles, so the Rex is not that needed for me. If I...

:-O https://insideevs.com/news/384546/bmw-i3-rex-done/

My 19 i3S came with two, as has every other BMW I have ever had.

I keep mine on AUTO 70F for the ENTIRE year, with temps ranging from 28F to 115F outside. AUTO climate (with A/C active) will cool, heat and dehumidify as needed. No fiddling with any buttons. Works amazingly well in my '19 i3.

WOW...that would have freaked me out. Being that my '19 is my first all electric vehicle, I had to have a non-electric, LOL, back up....so I got the REX. My next car will be 100% electric, but I will say that I do love the peace of mind having REX & it operates the i3 flawlessly!

THANK YOU aloha!! I called my Dealer, and this is almost exactly what they told me too! They said that after running the HVAC on Max A/C, and then returning the system to a "normal" cabin temp of 70ish....the system either slightly warms the cabin or just blows air. Appreciate the response!!

My last two BMWs (F15 X5 35d and 40e) had the worst A/C I have ever had in any car, even dating back to 80s models. I was so beyond stoked to find how quickly my '19 i3S cools and heats. Near perfect HVAC. But today I observed something that I cannot imagine is normal, and hopefully is some...

My 2019 i3S Rex also takes off like a rocket from stand still. I mean, it actually presses you back into the seat :) It is "almost" Tesla like :)

Thanks MKH, appreciated! Ok, so the upgraded HK premium system does make my standard system sound like total sh*t :-O LOL

Hi all. I don't have the HK upgraded sound system in my '19 i3S. Most of my previous Bimmers had HK, and I never really noticed much difference in sound quality or performance (don't shoot me, lol). So when I found my i3S and it had every thing I wanted, but no HK...I did't care (honestly, I...

I know I have not personally responded to each response, but I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who has taken the time to reply and comment on my post. :)

Agree Skepteach! The Model 3 sits almost as low as my Porsche 911S, and while I am not old...I'm not 18 anymore and getting in and out of super low cars is not as fun as it used to be, LOL. The big center screen on the Model 3 was better than I thought it would be, but the needing to access a...

I do think if it is brake dust or rust from rotors or road grime and dirt...it just probably shows more on my high gloss black 20" wheels. Compared to a non-regenerative braking car/suv, my i3 has little brake dust, but I am just surprised that my wheels do not stay as clean as I expected...

Yup gt1. The hvac is easier in the Model S or X, but they are much more expensive than the Model 3. Model 3 drove great, but I felt like I was sitting as low as in my Porsche 911S. i3 seating position is awesome!

This is my first i3. My only experience with "electric" was our 2017 X5 40e & 2017 740e. Both drove wonderfully, but we hated the 4 cyl. gas engine and the battery gave maybe about 10 miles of electric driving...a total joke. Most of the time we drove around in a $70,000 X5 with a crappy...

The black wheels might actually play a role is seeing "brake dust" or road grime. I actually thought of that, after I posted ;) I agree, the black 20" wheels look amazing on the i3S and I am really happy I got them. It is worth having to clean the wheels once a week....and there is still much...

Hi i3 peeps. Question...is anyone else surprised how much brake dust the i3 generates? I mean, it is nowhere near as bad as a "regular" car or suv, but I've had two X5s and three 7 Series with Regenerative Brakes and weeks of daily driving and there was little to no brake dust. I do one pedal...
