Maybe a problem, missing a part I think

[nji3guy]

New owner here. I was looking under the hood of my 2016 i3 ReX and I saw a styrofoam block with:

Air compressor
Fix-a-flat type of canister that hooks to compressor
There is a heavy duty eye bolt for towing
There is a adapter for unbolting the security lug nut on each wheel

Then there is and empty cavity where something is missing

Definitely not loose in the compartment

Was wondering what I don't have and if I need to see my dealer to get it, if it's important

You should also have your EVSE (charging adapter).

 

[nji3guy]

Yes. The level 1 charger is there

In the styrofoam block is a molded indentation with nothing in it
It's in the lower right most position

Right next to the security lug nut indentation but slightly larger

I think I had the same question a while back.

I ended up putting a wheel pin in the hole for swapping the winter tires.

In some markets, BMW includes a first aid kit, as it is required equipment in the car (like Germany). Might fit their kit.

It would be a very small first aid kit. The hole I believe the OP is referring to is less than 1" in diameter! I have the same empty hole, my i3 bought new, so nothing to worry about.

My first aid kit is in my boot.

Websterize,
I looked at your link for the fiche diagram http://www.etk.cc/bmw/EN/search/selectCar/I01/MCV/BMW+i3/USA/71/71_0782/

It's a nice pic and shows the indentation in question in the bottom


Thanks for the link and reply
