2015 BMW i3 with REx

[JupiterBMW]

Wow Marcus, just wow! I just read the entire thread as I too am trying to catch up with the Mafia. The car is awesome, not something I'd buy (I need sound) but I do love the car, the idea, and I do smile every time I see one on the roads down here in Florida...

I love the fact that you're modding it too. Good luck with it and definitely fix the pics!

Looking good with the drop!

These are great photos, the car looks mean!

Thanks! I partly chose the color, Laurel Grey (now discontinued for Mineral Gray 2016+) because it minimizes the obnoxiousness of the two-tone color scheme. Also partly because my better half said this color or no i3, lol.

Thanks, your opinion means a lot! A Mustang with some loud exhaust was behind me a week or so ago and I do have to admit I do miss the noise a little bit. I'm just now getting a chance to get on here tonight (at work again) and I leave at midnight (CST) so I'll try again tomorrow. Not sure why they stopped working (annoying).

Thanks! I have been so busy with the holidays since installing it that I haven't gotten a chance to re-measure to see if she's settled down any more or not. Its only been a few weeks and I've put nearly 500 miles on it! I need to get it in to get aligned (hopefully Monday/Tuesday) and then I need to clean her up for some new pic's. We're about to experience some flooding here in Memphis and I work (and live) on the river, one of our neighbors (sewage plant) is hauling dirt trying to keep a project of theirs from flooding. The road into and out of work is covered in dirt, its nearly a dirt road now, so washing the car would just be a waste of time. Ugh. Hopefully it will be over with soon. I don't know what they are going to do about all the dirt on the road, hopefully not just wait (forever) for the rain to wash it away.

Yea they're about to open the spillways here in Louisiana..so hopefully that helps y'all out. We're above flood stage almost everywhere now

Mud ride'n, January 2016



TPI spacers installed along with extended lug bolts, 15mm front, 20mm rear.

After a bath on leap day, 2016

Recently took a 1500 mile round trip back to my home state of Oklahoma, what an adventure! Didn't charge at all, just ran the REx the whole way there and back (well, I did charge once I got there and while I was there, but not while traveling), filling up every hour sounds awful but its really not. You can be as quick or as slow about it as you want and I don't think it added more than an hour to my travel time. On the way home I made a little better time because I didn't care if I got home with 0% battery. The trip caught me up on my lease miles, I was way behind, now I'm back on track for my 10k/year, year one end coming up in another month.

Your i3 looks awesome Marcus!

Your i3 looks awesome Marcus!

Thanks!

I love the car and the driving experience, but I find the community to be very tiresome. For a "green" car there sure a lot of ego's and know-it-all's, I miss my ZHP crew. As for mods this is probably it for now, the car is leased for 24 months and I'm nearly 1/2 way through it. BMW has already announced a longer range i3 coming for MY2017, my lease is up in April of 2017. It will be interesting times, if they do not offer incentives (money off) to keep the car then I will most likely switch to a 2017 without REx (aka BEV). If they offer an incentive to keep my 2015 it will depend on how much they are willing to offer off. I'm hoping about $10k. Other rumors for 2017 also include an i3s (sport) model and the possibility of the sunroof coming over. It might be hard to turn down a MY2017 longer range i3s BEV with sunroof if the monthly payment is the same as keeping the 2015 REx.

1. You have the best looking i3 I've seen
2. Your comment reminds me of the South Park smug episode:

Curious about car and your impressions. Pics still not working.
