I too go to Bob Smith BMW in Calabasas. I wonder if this is now their M.O. or BMW's M.O. to blame the customer now if the Check Engine light comes on with REX? I wonder how common and serious this issue really is with REX equipped i3? I love, love my 2020 i3S Rex, but the Check Engine light...

Congratulations and Welcome Back. The S version of the i3 for sure drives and handles better than the non-S version. I had a 2019 i3S and now a 2020 i3S, and the difference when I have driven a non-S i3 is huge; handling and steadiness is very noticeable. The BMW Connected app should be free...

Thanks for the update. I feel very bad for those with earlier i3 models and will soon be losing connected services. The ability to pre-cool is honestly one of the main reasons I have an EV! Sure, it's great not having to refuel at a dirty petrol station, instant torque and little brake...

100% eNate. Just think how amazing the great in 2014 i3 was could be if BMW continued to make big changes up until 2021. Yes, we all appreciate the battery jump from 60 to 94 to 120...but almost everything else is unchanged. The i3 could have actually been a Tesla competitor instead of a...

I am on i3S #2 and no power seats is maybe my biggest gripe. I would take a minuscule range hit, to have power motors in the seats. I think it is embarrassing in a $60,000 BMW to have manual seats. A power tailgate would be amazing too.

THIS was me with the problem. 4 times with my 2019 i3S Rex. After 4 times fixing the check engine light and a saturated charcoal canister...BMWNA bought my car back. I have had my 2020 i3S Rex now for 7 months and zero problems. The second time they accused me of overfilling the tank, I...

Great video! Thanks for sharing. I am getting read to take my first ever long trip in my i3S. Although this is i3 #2 for me, I have never traveled more than 50 miles one way anywhere. I am planning a 6-7 hour, 420 mile drive from Calabasas, CA to Scottsdale, AZ. I'm planning on using...

Looks great. My first i3 had Deka silver trim. I liked it, but never loved it. My current has the dark oak wood and I LOVE it. Great job! Congrats!

Amazing job. Honestly powered seats are the ONLY thing that bothers me about my i3S. $60k car! Insane with our cheap seats!

I was under factory warranty, and this P0440 code came up 3 days after taking delivery and then persisted for 3-4 months and 4 repairs. I do not know the cost. Sorry.

My 2019 i3S Rex that BWM bought back from me got this code over and over again, even after the dealer replaced valves, charcoal canister and something pressurized with the fuel tank. After the 4th repair for the same thing as the problem you experienced, BMWNA semi easily bought my car back...

I sure hope not, since I lease my 2020 i3S REX :D The consensus is that most dealers do not even know that REX Hold State of Charge has been activated, since it is active by default in all other markets. On the other hand, there apparently have been a few posts saying their BMW dealer tried to...

My 2020 i3S was $60k, so while not super expensive...expensive enough that it should have power seats and a heated steering wheel (I'd like a power steering wheel too). I miss lane departure warning, as my last 4-5 cars before the i3 had it, and I really liked it!

My 2019 i3S was Deka...and while I liked it a lot, I LOVE my Terra with leather, wood and all the LED lighting upgrades inside and the exterior handles. Our dealers say REX is most popular, but of course if you want all electric, REX is a turn off.

I think so. During the last 12 months our local BMW dealers had essentially NO i3 in stock, and in the last month now...they all have 2-4 in stock, including i3S and even a few BEV (although most are REX). Our closest BMW dealer has an incredible 2021 i3S BEV in stock, fully loaded. If my...

While I despise living in California, we have a great network for EVs and our dealerships are super prepared to handle service, parts, warranty and repairs. Once the ix models hit Canada and the US..your dealer and area will be better prepared. Thanks for the sad $150 article link, LOL!

Has you car been officially added to Connected? FYI, supposedly BMW Connected app is shutting down in June, so to play it safe I got the MY BMW app (same log in used). You can use and run both on your iOs or Android phones. My past 4 BMWs with Connected became active right away at the dealer...

I am on i3S #2 and the FIRST thing I did on both was 3M Ceramic window tinting on E V E R Y window including the sunroof! The i3 is a hot box without ceramic tinting. Also, the car will look even better and super cool when tinted. It makes a huge difference. MUST tint windows!! My first i3S...

YES...sad they removed eDrive, but my eDrive app info oddly did not match my car's eDrive. My app would show very low mi/kWh, whereas my car would show better and higher. Funny, I think the BMW Connected app looks more modern and clean. The new app you have to oddly keep swiping to see info...

My BMW is available for iOS too. I got it yesterday. I greatly prefer the look, layout and performance of BMW Connected. Connected is set to die in June :(
