    Difference between BimmerCODE & BimmerLINK and ODB2 dongle suggestions

    I have seen BimmerCODE here and there on this forum the last 2 years and recently saw BimmerLINK. My factory warranty just expired and I want to purchase software (APP) and a ODB2 dongle to get familiar with troubleshooting and repairing my I3 as much as possible on my own. I would appreciate...

    Paint roof white ?

    Honestly not sure painting the roof white would make much of a difference with all the solar heat gain through the windows

    Why BMW Dealers so greedy?

    I agree with this comment and must add that I took my used 2021 to a dealer and overpaid for new tires (even more than they quoted me). Two months later I had a flat in the morning and threw some air in it and waited in line as the same dealer opened. I explained the situation and they asked...

    Using range extender only for electric charge

    If you are in the US I suggest you look on Amazon for a UL listed charger and stay away from EBAY.

    Using range extender only for electric charge

    I doubt it is reasonably possible or cost effective. Why not look at selling your I3 and purchasing an I3 with REX?

    Why BMW Dealers so greedy?

    My I3 is the first and last BMW all because of the dealer network. 3 different dealers have been servicing my I3. One of them replacing the windshield for $1,950 and damaged the roof and a pillar and forgot to mention it to me when I picked my car up. Outright lies telling me I can't purchase...

    What would happen if I keep driving on GAS(REX) w/o chargng?

    When my 2021 I3s with 31,000 miles Rex actually works without shutting off and throwing a drive train error and check engine light it works well. I have been told the REX is not designed for primary propulsion and will likely die an early death if used too much. I agree with many people...

    Any suggestions for extended warranty?

    Thanks for your input and you are correct with the warranty term. I decided to call a BMW dealer in the middle of nowhere yesterday and surprise surprise they gave me prices on an extended warranty and told me my base warranty is 4 years / 50,000 miles. $4,700 for 5 year (total of 5 years)...
