The 19" wheels offer a quieter and more comfortable ride. If that is important to you, make the decision on function as opposed to looks.

Well, I didn't think it was possible with the composite material, but yesterday I noticed a small door ding in the drivers door. It's not a defect in the finish. It has the classic small crease in a small dish shape. Funny, no paint damage. I wonder if existing dent repair processes work on...

Worthless.

Keep the Prius for another year. They're good cars, I had two. BMW has already hinted to an increased range in 2016. Buy the i3 2.0, it will be a better car benefitting from much learning from the first.

Given the quick steering and jittery feeling at 75, I can't imagine wanting to test stability at 100!

Mine is eligible, but I love the car. I only had one incident which took just shy of 30 days to repair. If I get another big issue, I may ask them to buy it back and wait for i3 2.0. Btw, I had 4500 miles and 6 months on the clock before the first and only problem cropped up. When I broached...

Just a guess, but from my own experience having owned many BMW's, I think the repair expense for the i3 is astronomical compared to the ICE cars. It's due to the fact that every part seems to plow new ground for the repair techs and most parts have to come from Germany. In my case, I estimated...

1. Go into settings and make sure you select maximum charge rate. Default from the dealer is low. 2. I think there is a setting for enabling HD radio reception, might be confusing my cars. 3.. Even if you don't use the Rex, every 6 weeks or so, it will fire up in maintenance mode for a few...

Why were you there?

Mine failed on the street and had to be towed directly to BMW.

Same thing happened to me Jeff. My parts arrived in one week. They may be changing the design of the EME and that's why there are so few parts. That's just a guess.

I sweated bullets when my car was in the shop.

I don't think it's possible, but read the manual anyway. The i3 has a very small 12v motorcycle battery embedded in the frunk. It only powers the ready electronics, and can't be charged through power outlets. I'd forget about helping others with this car.

Do me a favor, next time you're in your car and the Giants are on 680, tell us if t sounds ok while accelerating.

Has anyone had any issues with BMW over coding their i3 for REX hold?

I had the odor right after my EME and batteries were replaced. Lots of different coolant lines were removed and replaced. Took about a week for the smell to go away while AC was on.

I feel the same way as you Bill. In fact, BMW Concierge and my dealer were more than willing to start buy back proceedings with my car (recent posts about EME failure). But I love the car and understand this is i3 V1.0 and will have untested issues. I'm hoping that I can go a few years now...

My EME was just replaced, it had to be shipped from Germany!

Severe draught here, no car care required :D
