    Any suggestions for extended warranty?

    Thanks for the tip! I found this but I3 is not on the list of supported vehicles. Would you happen to have a link? https://www.bimmerdiagnostics.com/#xl_HeadingAnchor:58AHNEc

    Any suggestions for extended warranty?

    I did find this however all the dealers I talk to stated that they only offer extended warranty on a used BMW via a CPO and they would have to charge me to "run it thru" a CPO check. https://www.bmwusa.com/financial-services/protection-program.html

    Any suggestions for extended warranty?

It had 2,000 miles on it when I purchased it March 2022 and I currently have 20,000 miles on it. I called a few BMW dealers asking about purchasing an extended...

    Dealer performed B840922 programming TCU for 3G sunset, what does this mean?

    I agree why bother. Not sure what service BMW uses. The snippet below is from.FCC website. 3G might be working for some things until the end of this year. When is it happening? Some mobile providers have already completed the shutdown of their 3G networks, while others are scheduled to occur...

    Dealer performed B840922 programming TCU for 3G sunset, what does this mean?

    I took my I3 in for a check engine light on the REX unit and they performed the B840922 programming TCU for 3G sunset, what does this mean? I Googled it and couldn't find anything. I am aware of 3G going away and that is what it is. Not sure what the dealer did when they performed the B840922...

    2021 BMW I3S REX with 11,000 miles. Dealer told me today needs new tires. Doesn't sound right to me

    Thanks for the additional info. Honestly, I wouldn't know the difference between driving an I3 and my I3S however many people have told me that the S model handles better at higher speeds. I pretty much one choice when I purchased my I3S as the war started and gas prices when up. I am glad I...

    2021 BMW I3S REX with 11,000 miles. Dealer told me today needs new tires. Doesn't sound right to me

    I called Mavis, Costco, and Tire Rack.com and they both said all they can get are Bridgestone all season tires and the rear tires are $353 each plus mounting and balancing so they will be pretty close to what the BMW dealer wants for the OEM tires.

    2021 BMW I3S REX with 11,000 miles. Dealer told me today needs new tires. Doesn't sound right to me

    The dealer just said the rear tires need to be replaced soon and they were very close to the wear line. My I3 is still at the dealer (5 days now) as they are waiting for parts to repair the check engine light that is always on when the REX runs more than the 10-minute exercise. I will look at...

    2021 BMW I3S REX with 11,000 miles. Dealer told me today needs new tires. Doesn't sound right to me

    Thanks for your reply! Much more information than the dealer provided and very helpful to someone that is new to EVs. I just did a quick search at local Costco and it appears they do not sell tires for my I3. I will keep looking. We found 0 results that fit your vehicle. Try Another...

    2021 BMW I3S REX with 11,000 miles. Dealer told me today needs new tires. Doesn't sound right to me

    I purchased my I3 with REX used with 2,000 miles on it 7 months ago. I took it into a local dealer yesterday for a check engine light and the dealer told me the rear tires need to be replaced as the tread is near the wear line. $881 for two tires which I assume are the same as the tires I have...

    Test drove 2016 I3 and battery level went down to 2 miles and REX did not start, is this normal?

    Update, I called Carmax and they got the REX working so I plan to get an Uber there Friday to purchase it. I would have purchased tonight but I asked them where the charger was and they couldn't find it so it is ordered, and ETA is Thursday. The Maxcare warranty pricing is below. I am not...

    Test drove 2016 I3 and battery level went down to 2 miles and REX did not start, is this normal?

    I appreciate that information! I was a little taken back in that they told me over the phone the extended warranty would be approximately $900 ~ $1600 all depending on what deductible I picked and when I drove the two-hour round trip to get there, they told me it is actually $2600 ~ $3700. The...

    Test drove 2016 I3 and battery level went down to 2 miles and REX did not start, is this normal?

    I do not recall seeing a caret and the battery level was completely blank when there was 2 miles left. Thank God I didn't run out of battery on the highway in 14 Degree weather and wind chills down to -1. Lesson learned

    Thanks for all your help! I do not own the I3 we are talking about yet and I don't think I will purchase it from Carmax.

    Test drove 2016 I3 and battery level went down to 2 miles and REX did not start, is this normal?

    "Did your electric gauge-range drop past the caret?" I didn't notice a caret, but I can say there were 5 horizontal blue bars on the right-hand side and three out of the five were full when I started the test drive. All bars were gone when I got back to the dealer and the blue range on the...

    Test drove 2016 I3 and battery level went down to 2 miles and REX did not start, is this normal?

    Thanks for your reply! I was only in the I3 for 30 minutes and didn't know to look for some of the things you asked. There was a blue "battery" range on the right side of the dash / screen directly in front of me and that was at 47 miles when I started the test drive. There was a white range...

    Test drove 2016 I3 and battery level went down to 2 miles and REX did not start, is this normal?

    I am not familiar with BMW I3 but Googled a bunch of stuff before and during the test drive at a non BMW dealer so they had no idea how the extender should work. Based on my searches I expected the extender to start when the battery fell below 6% if the settings were factory. Can anyone help...
