Thanks! I will consider buying a scanner in future. The scan will not cost a huge amount because there are some reliable independent professionals who attend to BMW work. The authorized BMW dealer/agent only sells the REX in my country due to some issues with the regulations. Therefore all BEVs...

Hi everyone, I’m planning to buy a BMW i3 BEV, and had been reading on about the models and things to look out for in a used car. The manufacturer warranty is not available for 2014 or 2015 BEVs where I live as these models are used vehicles brought down from UK and Japan by individual vehicle...
