I would think the lights would be a standard size. My car came with LED so I have not taken apart the dome/visor lights, but if you take out the incandescent lights you should be able to replace from a site like Diode Dynamics or SuperBrightLEDs...

I used https://fscmap.com/femtoevo/ to solve this. You will need an ENET cable (OBD2 to Cat5) to read data off of your car to generate the token on an USB key to change the CarPlay display mode. Do you have the wide screen navigation? You might be able to make this happen. My 2018 i3s did...

I certainly recommend this advice as well. My daily trip is ~102 miles and the battery in my 2018 i3s is baaaaarely enough to spare. I normally have ~20 miles spare but sometimes hotter days or slight route changes make for <=10 miles left. I am glad I got a newer i3 (except for the price...

Those are wild! hahaha

No worries. You are concerned about damaging something that costs money. I think we have all been there! Thankfully, tint is pretty common and there are plenty of success stories. :D

Absolutely correct, you do not need to code the gas tank. You will notice when coding that the settings are already applied for your vehicle (which is what I found when I tried to code my 2018).

I have a 2018 i3s REX which has the same range as a 2017. I average around 110-120 miles on my batteries driving to work and back. I rarely have to use the REX when I take a slightly different route. I use adaptive cruise every morning and afternoon; while it isn't a fantastic system is is...

You won't have an issue. I have tinted my 335is and my i3s without any sort of issue. The minor roll up/down when the door opens and closes will not impact the tint.

Ah, I have no clue. I don't use Google products when I can help it. I used Waze via a friends phone on a VW CarPlay instance it drove me crazy; difficult to use WITH touch (you still have to use the directional arrows on screen to move the map around, for instance). I can only imagine how bad...

I have a great experience with wireless CarPlay. I use it every day going to work and back; it predicts where I am headed and offers directions for me with minimal input (try pinning a favorite destination or two in Maps). The iOS 13 'dashboard' view is a fantastic improvement, finally you can...

Hey thanks for replying! That sounds like a fun setup. I am constantly shocked by the level of grip on the i3 and having more grip would be even better, haha. Where did you source the tires? I found the 215/45-20 but having trouble finding the 195. I am curious how the tires will hold up...

Great questions. I find the i3 charging 'displays' incredibly lacking for such an advanced and customizable car. I use my Level 2 'charger' app to know the kWh charge rate of my i3. If this is unavailable for you, look at the estimated finish time for charging shown on the i3 display. At...

Using a Pioneer under seat subwoofer: Adding subwoofer to a base non-HK system? Adding an actual subwoofer... this is tapping into the wires directly which I don't 100% recommend: Actual Subwoofer How to get power from 12V system? Try the fuse panel: 12 volt battery in parallel to the existing...

In the US market we do not have the steering wheel with the sensor(s) that detect 2 hands on wheel. For that, we use the Quidzel adapter to trick the car into thinking the wheel is held at all times. You can purchase the same adapter to trick your car into thinking the wheel is held... but...

Thanks for updating! I've jotted that down as a note for future tire possibilities. Wonder if dealer would even consider that as a tire or give me a hard time about trying to mount it...

Hmm. I coded the folding mirrors via Bimmercode and when I leave the car I hold my hand on the handle for an extra 2-3 seconds which invokes the mirrors to fold in as well as locking the doors. If I only hold my hand for a second the doors will lock but no mirror fold in... it must be a few...

I certainly appreciate if you could report back with your findings; I ditched Facebook a couple years ago and have been dismayed that the i3 activity circles around the FB group. :( The 'only one tire' has been plaguing me since I purchased, would love an alternative!

I find that above 73mph tends to make my mi/kWh display drop considerably, not to mention the difficulty in steering corrections needed. You can enable the display using the BC button on the top left stalk; it will show the current consumption (or average if you like, using same button). The...

Freaking awesome! That has been a big worry for me; a longer trip relying on REx. Sounds like you handled it without issue and then some! Thank you for the update here. I've been following this thread with anticipation. :)

hahahaha, I personally like the plate. It is offensive but so is the rampant noise, pollution, environmental impact of gas/diesel. I enjoy sporty vehicles that are gas based but for daily commuting gas is the worst. That being said, my situation is not one in which my significant other cares...
