Sometimes, my car thinks its trunk is open when it is closed! This can happen even when when I restart the car after it has been parked and the trunk was not opened since it was last used. I guess this is a sensor problem. What can I do to fix it?

I have a rather bizarre suggestion for you: The Rex engine on the I3 is a BMW motorcycle engine. If you do some research, you just might find a place that works on MOTORCYCLES and deals with BMW engines. Maybe, just maybe they will be able to fix it and no motorcycle engine is anywhere near...

This has now happened twice on my 2021 120 REX. I wake up in the morning to find that the windows and sunroof have spontaneously opened during the night or early in the morning. The two times it happened the conditions were identical. It was sitting in my driveway with the charger plugged in...

Did I buy a boat anchor?? I bought a BMW i3 key fob on Ebay. My dealer says that they cannot program it. Any suggestions?

When the car is home I leave it on a level 1 charger. I am wondering if that is the best policy? My battery is rarely below 50%. So far, I have not seen any degradation of the battery. I was told that given the driving I do it is best. Is this true?

I am probably going to upgrade the audio system. Probably to the Harman Kardon system. The amp and speakers are available on ebay. I know that I will need additional parts like the a pillar trims and wiring harnesses. any suggestions as to installation methods and parts needed?

I believe that the high voltage batteries are modular. As years go by I believe there will be more shops like the Electrified Garage in Massachusetts.( Rich Rebuilds). They will be doing aftermarket battery recycling. They posted a video wherein they did a repair that Tesla was going to...

I would STRONGLY suggest that you obtain a battery health report before agreeing to the purchase! When I bought my used 2020 I3, BMW of Barrington IL provided me with one without asking. If the dealer does not know about this, they may have allowed it to set for a long time with a depleted...

Just to be certain, I would recommend that you take it o your local BMW dealer. Have them inspect it and get a battery health report. This will reveal any hidden problems before they become significant. Then you will KNOW what you have. I would also recommend, if it is an American car. Contact...

I3 REX problems. When I bought my I3, I was advised by Basney BMW to contact Bimmer Tech and have my REX modified to get a hold charge at 75% option. That was great advice. This allows me to use the REX when the battery goes down to 75%. This feature has been deleted on ALL American cars in...

I recommend that you check out some of the videos on Youtube. It is amazing what some owners have done to them. I am certain that you will find some of them both interesting and informative

In Mid October 2023, I bought a 2020 BMW I3 REX. Part of why I bought it is because I am a wheelchair user and the back doors open forward. It is easy to roll it in back while I am sitting in the front seat. It had 14,000 miles when I bought it. Now it has 16,442. I spent $73.46 om my electric...
