Love my i3

[terry.94]

Bought a 2019 i3 in 2022. Love how it handles. Down side is 12v battery went out last April expensive because it died and had to tow to dealer. so yes will be more aware the signs of a battery failing. Anything else that others pay attention too? How many miles can you rack up before you have to have service? Has anyone found a place other than the dealership?? thanks guys for letting me in.

Brake fluid replacement every 2 years. In the SF Bay Area there are a number of i3 owners so a number of local independent shops have BMW electric-certified technicians. My local dealership often emails me service discount specials and has periodic service specials on their website, but their parts counter seems to be 2x(!) the price of even online BMW dealership parts operations.

Wisely in the UK has a series of useful i3-oriented videos on YouTube.
