I would really like to know what dealers expect to happen with these leftover 2014s that not only can't be leased through BMWFS anymore, but we are also getting every closer to the official announcement of (slightly) more range in 2016 models. My guess is dealers are not yet comprehending how...

Leasematic is the best I've used. This one is a decent web version.

All 5 of those things sound very nice to me, but I would like them to be options for 2016 instead of a 50-car special run. Maybe they will be...

My understanding is in a lease, your insurance would merely get you out of the contract and any future payments. The leasing company would get the value of the car at the time it was totaled. You do not get any "prepayment" money back.

I bought my i3 in June with 20" wheels. Ride is completely acceptable to me and the look is (in my opinion) easily the best of the options offered. I did buy another set of wheels with winter tires for the winter but I was going to do that regardless as we get a lot of snow here and I'm not...

This story has exactly zero to do with BMWNA. Rather crazy story though!

I'll rethink the REx when I switch to an EV with more range. I've barely needed my REx so far, but winter is coming...

Could any of you post exactly what you coded to get new texts to be displayed on the iDrive screen? Apparently I didn't code the right things as this has so far not worked for me. I have the Office menu on my US-spec i3, but no texts show anywhere. I also only use BT--does this require the USB...

If you finance, you should be able to get the full $7,500 rebate from the government. Note you have to be liable for at least $7,500 in taxes to get that full rebate when you file your taxes. As far as leases, I investigated this on 2014s and was told by a BMW dealer that BMW stopped rebates...

I was told you no longer get the $4875/$7500 rebate from BMW on 2014 leases. That tips the lease scales far in favor of a 2015 vs a 2014.

True, I would also expect the a/c to turn off in the case where you push the a/c button and the light goes out. In my i3 that's exactly what happens, so I definitely agree with you there. As far as manual vs automatic, I do see what you mean just that my experience with the examples you gave...

I understand your frustration but price has no bearing on the revolutionary construction methods of the i3. Toyota doesn't have anything even remotely similar in construction or efficiency for that matter. However I do agree price should have an effect on service/repair experience. I feel BMW...

The app communication issue, specifically SENDING COMMANDS TO THE CAR, not just showing data (which works much more consistently), is almost certainly server-side issues and something BMW should really hire some new people properly versed in server-side programming to solve. There's just no...

I loved the automatic dimming mirror in my old car so much that I decided I wouldn't buy a car again without one. Different strokes... Funny automatic climate control is also something I'd never get another car without! I'm sure some people prefer cars from the 60s (for example) over modern...

No it's at a BMW NA building apparently.

Dang a year for PAINT?

The text seems rather clear and direct when it says "Your vehicle is not permitted to be towed." and "Do not have the vehicle towed." I checked this against a 3 series owners manual and it's different. The 3 series manual gives instructions for a regular tow truck with only 2 wheels off the...

True on long distance drives, but in cases where I have a 75% battery buffer (as I do on my 20 mi r/t commute) this doesn't matter that much. I plan to preconditioning in my office parking lot every single day before leaving work in the winter. 8-)

Yes, very easily.

You can winch it onto a flatbed using the tow hook screwed into the front or rear bumper in the provided slot but BMW explicitly says NO TOWING on page 195 of the i3 owner's manual: It also shows two pictures of different tow truck arrangements with a big "X" through them. The other picture...
