I have been looking at i3s 2020 or 2021 and I like looking at service records and one thing I found often is dealers changing installing new car tires on the first or 2nd service. What caught my eye was at low 2000 to 3000 miles and often with a tire alignment. Some new i3s had multiple tire...

Would you have an alignment done by a garage recommended by a dealer named Discount Tire? What kind of tire company would not do alignment as part of new tires installed? I'd say a tire company that will say blame the alignment people

That's my point ... when I wanted to buy an i3s from a California BMW dealer, this particular dealer wouldn't sell to me saying they don't sell out of state, though car was listed on all the usual websites. BMW headquarters when I complained said they don't understand why they would not take my...

So I figured when I posted there would be some horrid stories of BMW dealer wanted to charge big $$$$ for described repairs - we are on to Rolex watches now?

I have been doing the same. This week there was a 2020 i3s red with 4000 miles on it in Ramsey NJ that was discounted from $28,000 to $19,900. I reached out and it was gone. There was another that went for $21,000 in Texas - a BEV Red i3s with 20k miles. Many dealers are too high and even the...

I've been wanting to buy an i3s recent model 20-21 for a bit now. In the US, my concern is for instance how knowledgable are mechanics these days on these expired cars, an 2nd, if dealers are charging $500 to replace a $100 12 volt battery, what crazy charges when it's something more...

saw this in a previous post This problem has been reported fairly often, unfortunately. A few i3 owners have replaced the LED's on the climate control circuit board (soldering required) which fixed the problem. BMW's fix is to replace the circuit board which is fairly expensive if not under...

Yeah … over inflated is the only way that happened … maybe a prank where someone attached a battery operated air pump and set it to 60 pounds

Why not call another BMW dealer - $38,000 you can buy a 2021 and have 10k in your pocket and trade in your current one

I call BMW customer service once because a California BMW refused to sell me an i3s because I was out of state and wouldn’t sell even if I went in person - the BMW Customer Service response was they are independently run so BMW can not tell them what to do.

Marty, Is there a YouTube video or instructions somewhere showing how to add a 2nd battery

Maybe take it to a different bmw dealer.

Maybe there is a towing cart mechanism that holds an additional 600 mile state of art battery that connects to the charging port

If a car is worth $3k to $5k in 2027, if he likes the car and it’s fun for him, he still has in his wants a great functional car so good for him if he’s happy improving the engineering. There may be an option for the i3 to hover and fly by 2030.

I watched today a great YouTube video on change the sensor, which requires dropping the gas tank as the sensor is inside. I bet it’s an expensive job.

Maybe it’s the exterior gas door is not closing properly???? Is there a message for that?

Most of the i3s 2020-2021 come with a REX. At first I wanted a REX, but got turned off after reading posts of owners complaints of REX related issues that require BMW dealer intervention and $1000s to fix. My thinking a BEV would eliminate this extra burden if using car for errands or small...

I have been flip flopping. As I search for the right i3s, I read forums where BMW dealers are charging $1000s of dollars when i3 owners run into REX problems. I get the anxiety range, but I am thinking many owners must hold their breath before turning on the REX and have a relief of anxiety when...

US BMW dealers are independently own so I learned when I complained to BMW because the San Luis Obispo BMW refused my online i3s purchase saying they don’t sell to my New England state. Paying cash, I’m arranging transport, I’m registering, insuring so what’s the problem? Been watching trying to...
