I read it as a very positive review, yes there are some minor quibbles, but remember that pretty much everyone on this board knows considerably more about the i3 than any motoring journalist.

Having driven both the standard version and the one with the Ohlins adjustable suspension, I would advise anyone who isn't a track racer to stick with the standard suspension version.

But, does anyone know the answer to my question? "My car came fitted with ACC and TJA, but if I try to use TJA in town, I get the message "TJA only for motorway use" and on the one occasion I tried to use it on a motorway I received the message "TJA only operates up to 35mph". Anyone in the UK...

Mine has the round lights below the headlights

I have no idea what that means

My car is a 2017 66 plate.

The two cylinder engine in the Rex is a 647cc four stroke unit, which is a detuned version of the one found in BMW's C650 scooter. In the scooter the engine produces 60bhp, whilst in the i3 it is restricted to 37bhp. My assumption is that this detuning is simply a change of chip in the ECU, the...

My car came fitted with ACC and TJA, but if I try to use TJA in town, I get the message "TJA only for motorway use" and on the one occasion I tried to use it on a motorway I received the message "TJA only operates up to 35mph". Anyone in the UK managed to actually use TJA?

I don't quite understand why there is an Indigogo campaign, they are already making and selling them. Mine arrived whilst I was in France.

Yes, I refilled the petrol tank whilst charging. Then, when I stopped to fill the Rex tank I would also fill both, it probably saved me ten minutes on the whole trip, but it also gave me an additional sense of security in case there were inoperative or occupied chargers. If I were to do it...

Last week I took myself and Mr Porter (2017 94ahRex) to France, which involved a trip of just over 1,400 miles (around 2,300km) in eight days. The trip was made possible by two non-BMW items; a 10 litre Jerry can (which fitted perfectly into the frunk alongside the charging cable) purchased from...

What coding changes are recommended for my 2017 94REx? I’m planning to do a 1,500km round trip in the next few days.

Do you have the promise to replace the tyres in writing; if you do you have leverage, threaten to call the local Trading Standards office if they don't keep their written promise. If you don't, your only option is to return the car, which you should do - because if they lied to you about this...

I spent too many years as an editor, so forgive me, but if their mechanical abilities are in any way comparable to their command of the English language, I would stay well clear of them.

Damn, the Vgate iCar 2 is not available from Amazon in the UK, but Vgate iCar 2 WiFi EOBD OBDII OBD 2 is, they look very similar and I assume that they work exactly the same, if so, I will order the thing.

Thanks, spent too long looking for IM31! now downloaded the app, which OBD reader do you recommend?

What is the "im3 program, please?

Ironically it doesn't have the "right badge"; I have never been without at least one Mercedes for over 40 years and it took some mental readjustment to put myself behind a wheel with a stylised propellor rather than the three pointed star. But I soon got over it, it's the most fun car I have...

but enough people DO want a premium small EV, my neighbourhood is pretty upmarket, as sit is over 150 years old, nobody has a garage or driveway, apart from a very fortunate few - so everyone parks on the street. Almost everyone has a new car, lots of G Wagons and 911s and the only 4 to 6 year...

I think that BMW looked on the i3 as an experiment, and - in their eyes - the experiment failed. But, and I think that they looked at the data they obtained from the experiment wrongly. The i3 was never going to sell to 'Joe-average consumer'; it was a very tightly targeted vehicle. It was a...
