    Tire Repair kit is optional on i3?

    I was always told to never use slime unless it is a REAL emergency. Very hard to get off the TPMS. Your better off just going to local tire shop. No need to go to dealership.

    I replaced my spark plugs, fuel cleaner from BMW,and replaced the fuel relay. Now mine works. I keep an extra fuel relay fuse in the glove box. $20, easy fix, it's under the dash

    Drivetrain Error Code: CB9517.

    I replaced my relay fuse and it now works but I also changed the spark plugs and put a BMW gas cleaner in the tank. Threw everything at it to make sure I tried everything to do with the fuel. All options are cheap and can be done yourself. Videos on YouTube are extremely helpful with the spark...

    Wrapping Roof with Vinyl Film

    I'm good with that. There's a guy at work who does this as a hobby. I looked over his car, opened the doors and looked at the edges. He did a good job.

    Wrapping Roof with Vinyl Film

    I was thinking about doing the roof in white and sides in ice blue. I haven't been able to come up with the funds. This economy is brutal. I found someone who said he'd do it for free.

    Rust Warranty, has anyone used it?

    I was going through my owners manual and came across the page that displayed warranty information I have a 2014 Rex and I am over 77k miles.

    Anyone over 100k miles on their car?

    Worst case scenario I can still use the car on mostly gas, but rust is the enemy here in North West Indiana

    2017 REX package dead for several months. Now car has started losing power while driving.

    They assured me that I could drive the car and it would just try to run the REX maintenance and would give up when it couldn't. You need to replace the pump relay. It's a $25 part and can be accessed under the dashboard. I'm 55 and watched a video and did it myself. It took about 45 minutes...

    Using Tesla Destination Chargers with an adapter for your i3?

    When they open they're going to be on a different strength and will have an adapter built in. I would return. I don't see a need for it

    Also, changing the battery is super easy. Search YouTube there's some great channels that show in detail what to do

    Anyone over 100k miles on their car?

    I'm at 77k on a 2014 Rex. I have 77 miles of range on a warm day. Cold weather is my enemy. Any temperature below 50 and I m using Rex daily.

    2015 BMW i3 REX issue - drivetrain inoperable

    I fixed this with a fuel pump relay. OEM part $25. Take out glove box for easy viewing. 30 minute fix. I keep a spare relay in the car.

    Looking to come back to i3!

    This is so odd that a car that's more popular in Europe is hard to get tires. I made my appointment and they were there the next day. I added the precautionary tire warranty because they are so expensive.
