Looking good in Europe for August! http://cleantechnica.com/2016/10/02/bmw-i3-rockets-1-europe-electric-car-sales-august-sales-report/ Looking like the EU is a larger market for EV's than the US:

The Leaf was the top dog for quite a while, but it looks like it's falling away... Still more consistent than the i3 over the year but the competition mainly from Tesla is eating away at the core Leaf market. http://insideevs.com/monthly-plug-in-sales-scorecard/

Interestingly, according to the Verge, the Chief designer of the Faraday was involved in the design of the i3 and i8. http://www.theverge.com/2015/11/19/9761852/faraday-future-car-company-interview-tour-electric-tesla-competitor http://www.faradayfuture.com/...

Some spammer has filled the new and active topics list with advertising for stuff no relevance to the i3 while the mods are asleep.

There have been a few reports of tyre damage on the i3. I guess it's not a surprise that a car with narrow tyres and minimal sidewalls is up for a bit of tyre damage. My interest is to see if those with 20" wheels have more tyre damage incidents than those with 19's. Please respond with: 1...

http://greenercars.org/greenest-meanest/greenest What's with this site? greenercars.org is supposed to be is part of the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE), and the i3 has been on sale in America since May 2014, there are over 6000 i3's trundling around on the roads of the...

While waiting for a passenger today, I had a browse through some of the iDrive menus and found some interesting stuff: Looks like the i3 is running a version of my favorite Operating System! Can anyone verify? I heard recently that it is highly likely that the Tesla is running Linux as well.

Wheels mag is a hard core petrolhead magazine dominated by the local manufacturers and performance cars from all makes. That makes them handing out COTY to the i3 surprising and significant. http://www.wheelsmag.com.au/car-of-the-year/1501/bmw-i3-wheels-car-of-the-year-2014/ Video mini...

Hi. I took my i3 into a tint workshop today regarding tinting the windows. The tint shop is an experienced establishment that has done plenty of BMW and other euro models but they have never seen an i3 before. Normally, they loosen the door trim to allow the window tint to reach past the...

A little advertising blurb arrived in the mail today, interestingly it was addresses to me on the envelope, but to someone else on the enclosed letter... Anyway, inside the blurb was a pic of some very nice and complementary wheels on the i3: I'd have gone for those in a heartbeat over any...

Hi all. The coding topic has been polluted with discussion of the pros and cons of FB. Rather than continue wrecking the coding topic I have moved the last post here in the hope that we can talk about the pros and cons of FB and let the coding guys continue in peace. Please discuss FB issues...

For August. http://insideevs.com/monthly-plug-in-sales-scorecard/ Pity they don't split out the BEV and REX numbers.

Tinkering with one of Tom's images: (Tom, if you're unhappy with this, let me know and I'll remove it)

One of the options on offer here in Australia is the Alarm. I've not had a BMW before and this may be a silly question, but does the standard car without alarm include basic theft protection like an immobiliser? What benefit does the i3 alarm offer other than a lot of noise if someone tries to...

Well, I don't have an i3 yet, but I just bought some plates for it! EV's haven't taken off in Australia yet, and especially here in South Australia. I was surprised to find that the 'EV' number plate is available, so I bought them. They will have to live on my petrol weekend car until I manage...

I've seen a few posters say they have trouble posting images and wrote a little howto on one of the threads. Think it would be a good idea to repeat it here for anyone who has not done it before. Might be worth making this post a sticky or putting it into a 'site matters' subforum... If you...

Delivery second half of 2014. BEV Can't wait!

Hi, can anyone shine some light on the wheel options on offer? I don't think I'm up for the 20" but I'm not really taken with the other options. I think this is my preference: But what does 'EffDyn' mean? The other options say 'mixed tyres' Does that mean 'mixed tyres' comes with different...

There are a few comparison tests popping up in Germany between the i3 and it's competitors. So far it seems to be sitting on top of the pile: AutoBild (translated by Google) i3, Zoe and Leaf. AUTO Zeitung i3, e-Up, Focus electric and Leaf. Here in Australia, the only direct competition is the...
