    i3 purchase 94rex or 120 bev

    Rex or BEV? BEV suits people who are organized and have predictable schedule. Rex is not fool proof though, given that people with ICE car run out of gas!

    ha ha...I will check it today! Costco is awesome, they offer free nitrogen, tire repair and best of all, they replace(prorate the price) the tires if they wear out too soon!!

    No Low Tire Pressure Warning?

    I am surprised you say 33F/41R. Costco replaced the tires and filled all four to 44PSI, I will double check if tires are rated for that. I do carry a tire inflator in the frunk but Costco fills Nitrogen :)

    Battery issue

    That is great. This only becomes a deal-breaker for those who need full 72 miles range everyday and dont realize that before buying. Pretty sure in AZs' summer and few quick charges would land you a replacement. Who knows, there might be an option to pay $ to get an larger one. I will...

    Battery issue

    City mileage is definitely higher for me too, lack of wind resistance play a huge role in that as well. But IMO if your battery is pumping enough electrons to deliver range above 50 miles at 75mph speed then its likely healthy! It also looks like battery is doing well given the mileage and...

    No Low Tire Pressure Warning?

    Great! thanks. I will have Costco inflate them again! Also found a video that tells that the warning light comes on only if pressure drop below 30% the normal level. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GYIT1hiRKA So that warning light should show at 31PSI. 44 -(44 * .3)

    Battery issue

    To determine the range, its best to drive the car at constant speed and then compare the range with what EPA has set, which is 72 miles for mixed city and freeway driving. I have a 2015 Rex, with about 20K miles, driving it on freeway(95% of the time) at speeds between 65-75 mph, I get about...

    How does BMW perform the Battery Capacity Test?

    Following! I thought I read somewhere dealership works with folks in Germany for that but only after someone really complains about the battery. And Dealership might just do for i3s with Battery Kappa thing drop below certain level.

    No Low Tire Pressure Warning?

    Is initialize different as "reset TPMS' on i3s iDrive menu?(Under settings > Vehicle Information) I had reset a few times because i was really shocked to see 44PSI and thought it was too high and something was off with TPMS sensors. Can someone please let know how TPMS can be re-initialized?

    No Low Tire Pressure Warning?

    Just about 3 months ago i had replaced all 4 tires at costco, iDrive showed 44PSI. Yesterday[80F hot day] the front were down to 29PSI and rear were around 36PSI. Does anyone know why i3 is not showing a low tire pressure warning?

    REX Acoustic sound dampening

    Its not noticeable at all at freeway speeds; only at low speeds when no other cars/noises are around you can hear it.

    Bad quality OEM portable charger...???

    I did not like the portable charger at all, even at 110V it became quite warm to touch. I was little worried that portable charger might junk the car if something goes wrong.(Even today, i am not sure if my auto insurance will cover should that happen).

    6 Months And I’m Going to Sell it

    The original battery capacity works just fine for me, last about two days on weekdays and 95% of the trips on weekends. I feel that the same way that larger battery packs that will not be used more than a few times in a year is just dead weight inside the car, lowering the efficiency...

    6 Months And I’m Going to Sell it

    I was specifically talking about ones with smallest battery packs. :)
