Super cool. Thank you!!!

OMG, MKH. I do not want a crispy i3! If BMWNA will play hardball and require Bavarian engineers to come to So.California, this means I am going to be in a loaner for a long time. I will seek in the meantime that BMW reimburses me for my lease payment while they try and figure this out!

Thanks jadnas. I opened a case with BMWNA. I think this probably made it more difficult for the dealer (and will make this longer for me), but since this is the 3rd time for a serious problem on a brand new car, I just felt I had to report it. If they cannot fix this permanently, I will seek...

....Aww. Love that Rob! The i3 is such a great car!

Thanks for the replies, but I have NEVER overfilled a gas tank. I got my car back on Thursday 10/24 after they replaced the fuel vent valve and charcoal/carbon canister for the SECOND time, in addition to another overflow valve. 10/28...car is back at BMW. REX kicked on yesterday, and the...

My 2019 i3 Rex (no heat pump) is AMAZING. Not only do the heated seats begin to warm in mere seconds, but the heater is instant!! My 2017 X5 35d (diesel) had the extra electric heater, since diesels are SO slow to warm), and I thought that heater was quick to warm... but my i3 begins to pump...

This place has been here a very long time. Family owned, and tons of positive reviews. I know several people that have gone here for years...new and old(er) BMWs. https://www.bavarianworkshop.com

Thank you Bob Wilson! They called me today and said they are replacing another part in addition to the valve and canister that was not replaced last week. Hopefully it is this part you speak of, if that is the case!

I do agree with all of you. While I think the ACC is quite good in most situations, it is nowhere near as good as in our Mercedes or our Rolls or Bentley! But, I guess ACC in a car (i3) that is relatively inexpensive is better than many cars in the price point have (if even offered). I have...

Thanks MKH. They said the cap was perfect. No fuel leaking in or out! I am (fingers crossed) hoping the parts replaced last time were maybe not "done right" and the 2nd time around will do the trick! Besides from this CEL, the car is amazing and I love driving it, looking at it and seeing it...

OMG eNate. I have only used it 2x, and while it works fairly well, the "Distronic" on my G63 was much better. I find the ACC on my '19 i3 does leave too far of a gap (even when setting the least distance) and sometimes it does not brake soon enough and not accelerate/recover as quickly as my...

Just heard from the dealer. I told them that I am not happy with the "findings" the BMW engineers told them. The EXACT same parts that were replaced ONE week ago need to be replaced AGAIN! Fuel vent valve and the carbon/charcoal canister was once AGAIN saturated with gasoline. Btw, NO gas...

ACC does not have radar? My 2019 i3 with ACC accelerates and brakes, just like my G63 with radar cruise control did. 2019 battery range is quite good. When fully charged it is usually around 153 miles (but of course temp can affect actual range).

Thank you MKH. I agree. I love, love this i3 Sport....I just hope they can find this. Besides this problem, the car is beyond amazing!

MKH...I bet we had the same driver ED teacher, LOL. I told the dealer when I took it in last week for this same issue that there have been a few times that our garage smells like gasoline (not super strong, but for sure there). A few days ago, before the CEL came on again, the garage had that...

I have been driving for almost 30 years, and have never overfilled a gas tank :) This is something my Mom and Driver's Ed teacher harped on! I have only filled the REX tank one time, and the minute it clicked I stopped immediately. And the last time the tank was topped off, the BMW dealer did...

New 2019 i3S, about 1000 miles (less than a month old) and it was in a week ago for the same issue. Last week was a tank vent valve and a charcoal/carbon canister that was saturated with fuel. Today, CEL came on again. OBD shows: P0440 and P016B. P0440 is the evaporative emissions control...

Really great insight and information everyone shared on this post. Thank you!!

Great reply MKH! Depending on speed and outside conditions, one can really hear the different speeds or levels of the generator, aka BMW Motorcycle engine powering our batteries. When my car switches to REX, there are NO warnings or messaged that come on (not main instrument cluster or...
