    Replacement Wiper Blades

    They should be included in the maintenance plan.

    i3 Milestones

    Interesting - in the US the 19" wheels always come with EP600, and 20" come with EP500s. Sourcing the 19" EP500s locally is also challenging here, so much so that I gave up and went with swapping to 20s instead.

    i3 Milestones

    Thanks! By 19" summer tires, do you mean EP500 or EP600s?

    Congrats! What tires do you have and how have they held up?

    Installing after market backup camera

    Someone on the Facebook group added a backup camera last year, but I'm unable to find the link to his post/details. BimmerTech is considering making a retrofit kit using the factory components as well - if you're interested please email them at [email protected] - they've made similar kits...

    Charging Light

    It's probably possible to code it, but I haven't heard of anyone finding the relevant settings for this yet.

    Your locked i3 really isn't....

    The signal from the key needs to make it back to the car - so depending on where the key is, if the key is transmitting at very low power, the signal would not make it back without amplification near the key as well. There are various ways they could protect against this - so it's not correct...

    every time I lock car door the alarm goes off now.

    Have you coded the car? If so, plug back in, reconnect with E-sys then disconnect. Do you have one of those insurance monitoring devices plugged into the OBD port? If so, unplug it.

    Test Drive

    Sounds like the right choice. Congrats on 39 years!

    Test Drive

    FWIW, aside from EVs I normally only drive manual cars as well, and I wasn't sold on the i3 after the first 3 "quick" test drives I did. Once I took one home for 3 days as part of the extended test drive, I decided that it might be worth it. I think the car doesn't really lend itself well to a...

    Engine mount broken

    Several people on the Facebook group have had this issue - it has been discussed there in detail. As stated above, it typically happens when the car quickly loses traction while under acceleration. I think the reason we haven't seen a solution/bulletin yet is because it's not going to be a...

    Tire pressures- what's best?

    I'm happy to swap with any 20" wheel owners who want the quieter/smoother ride of the 19s. Anyone interested please send me a PM.

    Tire pressures- what's best?

    That does seem to be the case, but there's no visible difference between the tread pattern on the 20" tires that make the noise and the newer ones that don't.

    Tire pressures- what's best?

    Based on several owner reports, and test drives, it seems that it can be resolved by replacing the tires with 20" EP500s with a later production date - we don't know exactly when they fixed them, though.

    Looking to lease - some basic i3 questions

    On another note, Owner's Choice is almost always a better deal than leasing, especially in Georgia. Feel free to post a thread to the FB group as well if you have questions about anything.

    DC Retro-fit

    A retrofit should be possible, but the cost would be likely be prohibitive vs trading your car and picking up another one. The new connector, plus the different KLE (different part for DCFC equipped cars), plus the other less costly parts would add up to a significant amount, especially with...

    Looking to lease - some basic i3 questions

    Sorry for the bad news - just wanted to make sure you have the right info. Many dealers are clueless when it comes to the government incentives.
