    Hi! Anybody has a spare 155/70-19 Bridgestone Ecopia Ep600 tire with about half it its life left? If so, I want to buy it :) One of my front tires seems to have small leak that can't be fixed.

    How to disable the orange side markers from the US spec cars?

    Hello! As I am looking into shipping my i3 to Europe (about $7K cheaper than buying the same car there), it seems that the main hurdle is the front LED side markers. For some reason, Spain is obsessed with lights, and in order to register the car there, those markers would have to either be...

    US to EU charging adaptors

    We will most likely be moving our i3 REX to Europe. The cost difference between selling it in the US and purchasing the exact same car in the EU would be around $12K. Focusing on changing only, I found these two adapters that seem to promise to be able to allow for charging in Europe without...

    Curb rash on the 429 style rims

    Hello! I got a rather nasty scratch on the front wheel. With other cars, I know it would be a somewhat easy fix with corrective paint. But the i3 seems to have a brushed steel coat, rather than regular paint. Has anybody been able to refinish the 429 style rims? Could a regular rim shop take...

    Coding for backup camera while driving?

    Hello! Anybody knows the coding option to allow the backup camera while driving? I saw a YouTube video about coding options for the i3. In passing, they mention that there is the way to do it. But they don’t say how… Thanks!

    EKR Custom Fit Leatherette seat covers

    Hello! Sharing this in case somebody is looking for seat cover options for the i3. After some digging trying to find affordable, custom-fit leatherette seat covers, I found an option on Amazon by a company called EKR. I was a bit reluctant at first because I could not find any pictures of what...

    Tire pressure sticker missing?

    I got the low tire pressure warning a couple of days ago. Nonchalantly, I went to the gas station to put some air and, to my surprise, the sticker with the recommended tire pressure that my old '15 i3 (and almost every other car) had on the side of the driver's door, is nowhere to be found on my...

    Used 2014 i3 showing 14 kWh battery capacity, 50 mile max range.

    Hi there! We were about to purchase a used 2014 i3 with 50k miles. The car looks great, but when the dealer charged the battery in preparation for us taking the car, we realized that the maximum range was 50 miles. We checked kapa and got 14 kWh. Luckily we had not signed anything yet. I had...
