#BMW #BMWi3 #EV
That BMW dealer truly does know what customer service is all about, if they give you a brand new, albeit uncomfortable, loaner car for as long as they did, and you didn’t even buy the i3 from them!
There's a million other TH-camrs out there Randy but there's only one like you! I enjoyed finding out about the i3 and I'm glad that your car survived and was fixed that dealership is great to turn it around that quickly.
I am a Car guy. I love my gas engines but I had a Chevy Volt I bought new. Had to trade it for a bigger family car recently....i still miss my Volt, I loved it.
Waiting for Randy to take the i3 to the muffler shop to have a set of Flowmasters installed.
Man, you been pumping these videos out. That end of the month gonna be nice to you!!
Oh oh whats he going to buy next? LOL
Just an FYI, the i3’s do that power steering thing pretty frequently. I’ve had it happen 3 times in a year. Usually booting the car off and back on again it resolves this. I’ve heard a software update resolves this.
Hey Randy thanks for the update on your i3 because of you I bought one and with no regrets one of the best cars I have had or driven
I have a 2014 i3 REx. I traded I. A 2012 Jeep Wrangler Sahara with 107k on the clock. I bought the i3 with 25.5k for $14.5. I absolutely love it! Like you, very rare I. The mid Atlantic region. Glad you resisted the urge to put a Cummins logo on the BMW!
As long as Santa is here, the I3 is safe.
Glad You got the I3 back good video Randy stay safe and be aware about the Tornadoes here in Dallas it's been a nightmare with all these storm's right now where under a Tornado Outbreak Warning hope it's Just a Warning
I’ve been waiting for this video! Keep up the great work and enjoy your weekend Randy!
A couple of things about the 330Xi,
1. There is a setting to make all the doors and trunk unlock when you use the fob.
2. There is a control to adjust the bolsters. They are basically airbags that can be made tighter/weaker.
I get that this is a loaner and there isn't rally much sense in fiddling around with it for the short time you had it but I thought I'd point it out in case you get another loaner lol.
Randy: I'm never buying a new GM product again after all the C7 reliability issues
Also Randy: *Buys a 2018 BMW*
Have to appreciate it that people still buy cars from questionable brands. Life is too short to drive boring cars.
C7, not C8
Good video Randy Glad you got your B M W back good to see your keeping busy looking forward to the next video
Early finally, am watching now, Always enjoy the content,quick question, what happened with the mg and that other gold colored four door car you had? I watch pretty much all your vids, and have been wondering for awhile about them two cars
The AMC? Both of those cars have sold already
I sold the MG to a dealer in OKC, and the AMC was shipped off to another state.
I am 6ft 2, and one of my cars is a 330i E90. When I got the car the first day, getting in and out was a real mission, till I found the comfort spot.
Was hoping the little BMW was ok. I personally love it. I did subscribe to Santa's Workshop. Love his new project. Can't wait to see more from him and you and from you two together. :)
Just a wee bit of click bait here huh?
Hopefully the next video to drop is the road trip to WatchJRGo in the Plymouth? Can't wait to see how it did.
You should get your dealer license just so you can make some money on these care man that hard body would bring 4k easy if you were able to sell to the public 1,900 for the tempo prob 1250 for the colt 2500 for the tib just saying man im a big fan and know you could do it best of luck and love what your doing either way 👍❤
The Ford Tempo looks great MAACO did a good job
I've been enjoying watching I'm New as a subscriber and I hope you have a good day
Love your videos man
Like that you and Mike have become such good friends.
This gonna be a lit video!!!! And now randy has an i3 again.
I3 is such an outdated processor!
@@ryanravencaller Intel still make them, besides he was talking about the white BMW
@@TaffPlays don't know why he got i3 processor. Video is about a white i3 BMW. I commented about i3. Lol. You got what I was talking about
Michael is a legend!!!
I really like the i3 EV, love to have one!!
I'm glad to see the Tempo finally go. Somebody is going to get a good daily driver. Hopefully you make a profit on them
For a certain period of time I was convinced the BMW i was an iBBQ. Randy went full Alfred Hitchcock on this one 😄 Greetings from Europe 🇪🇺
Hey Randy, good to see the I3 back again. And you’ll make some 💵💵💵 on most of the cars I’m sure.
At least you had a better service than the Chevy dealership. Props to them 👌
My guess is that the regeneration brake system on the LHS or left hand side was a bit wonky and that's why it was pulling
You and your family be safe great content ❤️💯
I've been super busy and hadn't been able to watch your videos. Great one to pick back up on
Always great content, I do like the i3, looks like a great little car
Imagine a year like 2026 where a guy can't update his car anymore lol, gonna be fun in the future to find issues on those
Imagine a year like 1908 when the Model T was available to masses that were still using cart and buggies. I'm sure everyone that bought a car that year could easily work on it. Welcome to change. It happens whether you like it or not. People adapt. Thats why humans are amazing.
@@antidef You didn't need a software engineer to work on a Model T, they were built with the same tools people used on their buggies.
@@antidef Did you purposely misunderstand what @Jimmy JimJIms said in his comment? His point, in case you didn't get it, is that in a few years the cars will not be able to be fixed. An unnecessary accessory failed making the car undrivable. That is not progress or a positive thing in any way. What has the Model T have to do with that point? We can still, in 2021, repair a Model T with no problem more than 100 years later.
glad you got your car back sorry for the f150 ramble man i really do like that truck though !
Garage is full of great opportunities to buy a good car or truck. Not surprised the people are fighting over the Colt. Very nice car with lots of seating and where do you find a good, low mileage, station wagon any more? Between Macco, the Auto Spa, Mike adding the Colts trim paint and you adding all the right tires and wheels I hope your underestimating their worth by a lot.
Great to see the BMW made it through the fire. Electric is the future and your one of the trend setters.
Those small car's are great they have plenty of room it's the hood that makes the 320 look big
Love the tempo and the old f150 and the colt
No love for the Hardbody?
@@11094DEREK the only reason why I said I like the old F-150 and the tempo it was my uncle's first car he ever bought brand new and the pick up my grandfather had one exactly like that except for it was in white
I hope that you will find an old 4 door or a truck and throw in one of thos electrical Chevy motors in it. That would be great! Have fun Randy.
Sorry about the bmw buddy good luck hope you are doing good good luck with cars see you soon
I love what you do keep it pushing don’t let haters slow you down I love older cars and that’s awesome that you still have love for them too Stacy awesome.
When I lived in Oklahoma, I remember seeing Brian Bozworth and other star OU players driving around in their Jackie Cooper auto loaners. That's partly why OU had great teams during the Switzer era with such perks. The Boz drove a Corvette btw.
I bought an i3s around the same time you did. I don’t have the Rex, and didn’t want it. Super fun car…
My local BMW Service Dept. tends to replace quite a lot of items unnecessarily. Usually, it's on warranty repairs, they've replaced my instrument cluster "to clear the check engine light".
Just so you know, comprehensive coverage (fire, theft, wind) is not that expensive. It’s the collision coverage that cost the most. Not sure why insurance agents don’t tell you that.
was thinking what happend to it. thanks for telling us.
How is that 3 series so small inside those side's of those seats are just to big
Something to consider for parking. When entering you rear gate, what if you moved your fence on the right back 6 feet are so? This would give you a bunch of horizontal parking inside your gate. Then add a metal roof over this area for sun and hail protection for your vehicles. It's like weather insurance protection.
This would even give you a place to work outside under a cover when needed.
Just a though man.
The wrath of scotty kilmer curses that car.
those open center wheelcovers for the F150 are for a 4x4, cut out to clear the locking front hubs.
SANTA!
But I’m glad you got the i3 back
I'm the same way and it would definitely be my daily cool little car
Yeah you gotta take care of the oldies to buy more. 😎👍🇨🇦
Cool I like the little electric Beamer.
My Bro just got a 21 M 340i, I can say it is small af! If it were my money I’d get a Q60 Red Sport for the equivalent price.
Morning My Good Little Bro Randy Lee Shear Of Auto Auction Rebuilds
You sat in the 3 series and was not impressed either it ?? Amazing I'm going to take a look at the I 3 BMW seems like a nice car ...
We like what we like. Don't apologize for it.
Great video you should trade the Jeep and the ram for a higher trim ram
Glad to know it didnt burn up.
Can't believe you stuck that Harley patch on your shirt. LOL new RUB's.
Got my popcorn ready for this episode
*So basically you click baited the title? UNBELIEVABLE! why? you don't need to, you're better than that man c`mon*
Beautiful Daily Driver! Period! Love It's Design! I'd Have One In A Second!💖
Like the i3! Glad it survived!
randy that 330xi is not the 1 to get for comfort ,its the one to have fun , 320d is smooth comfortable option :)
Randy's sounding like Uncle Rich, with his electric car, diesel truck, 4x4 Sherp, and a Cyberquad for fun driving.
Would that BMW be a good car for Turo, Randy?
Great video
Great video!
Sure enjoy your videos! I do have a question. In this video your talked about getting an extended warranty ($2,200), for your 2018 BMW I3. Could you tell me what that warranty covers (i.e. how long/How many miles it covers the I3, what kind of deductable you have), and who is the company that is covering your I3?
Finally, how does it work with the factory original warranty, plus the BMW Certified Used Car one year coverage? Thank you so much, I am looking to purchase either a 2018 or a 2019 I3 and I can't get any straight answers from dealership that I have checked with!?!
Please keep us posted on how things go over the time that you have the I3. Your trip to L. A. and back to OKC was awesome!!
Did I miss when you took the Rubicon wheels off the Jeep?
Is there a silver passenger rear door on the Ram pickup?
Good eye! When I bought it it had been in a tornado, there was a 2x4 through the door!!
We had the Plymouth Colt in Australia but was sold as a Mitsubishi Nimbus.
It's not a car I care for but if you like it, you like it. I mean I'm daily-ing a 94 Chevy van because I like those, I'm comfortable in them, and I like working on them. Parts are cheap, too. I guess you can't say that about the I3, but with a warranty you don't have to work on it. I get enough crap for driving it I'm half tempted to put a mural on the side that says "free candy".
Imagine though needing to be a software engineer to work on the car. That's wild.
Hope everything was ok for you Randy! Gotta keep your babies out of the hail! I'm looking forward to your next bike video!
$8,000 in cars, man, I'm a techy kind of person, so, for that kind of money, I could have,
iMac 24 inch, 1TB and 16GB RAM with Magic Keyboard with Touch ID, Silver
MacBook Air, 2TB, 16GB RAM, Silver,
It'd cost me $5,300, but I'd have like $2,700 left over to buy more tech stuff.
No, Randy, not bragging or anything, I don't have $8,000 to spend on tech stuff.
Thanks for the video, Randy.
Great video😃
Just wondering, if you were to sell the bmw I3, would you also consider swapping the Wrangler for the new 4xe Wrangler to have the best of both worlds? I watched a review on one of those and they seemed pretty quick
I'd consider it for sure!
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds Don't forget how bad the Jeep drives. I don't think an electric motor will help that.
@@mexicanspec I don't see him complaining on how bad the Jeep drives
@@TaffPlays He has talked about that in other videos.
@@mexicanspec Yeah, that was with shitty tyres and that rough country lift kit
Randy, where did you buy an extended warranty for an EV? I found one for $3600 but trying to find yours at $2200. Thanks for any help.
Randy i really enjoy your videos but im starting to get a little confused with what video your showing cause they are not organized from filming to release and your placing others before others but that clearly shows (example) a car you previously showed us on youtube and then week later you show different car that you started working on then in background you see that car you previously did a video on but not finished... sorry just confused on why you do this... but i still enjoy watching them
Santa looks to be more like a sailor than a Santa.
I gotta contrast the treatment you received from BMW on a 2 year old USED BMW with the treatment you received on you BRAND NEW Corvette. That tells you all you need to know about the directions that the two car companies are going.
100%
Do you have any non-Harley shirts anymore, Randy? 🤣
I wish you would hold on to that Tempo... :(
Imagine having one of these POS’s and not being under warranty $$$. Really enjoy. SANTA
Hey as you get older things change
i lvoe the tempo.. i wud buy it in an instant.. except im in canada :(
Does the I 3 supercharge like Tesla, and if not, how long does it take to charge when it has no battery time left???
Yes it does.
The chemistry in the battery is different than the chemistry in a Tesla battery.. Also, the battery in the i3 in this video is a 33kwh battery and the battery in a Tesla is anywhere from 60kwh to 100kwh.
The i3 battery can go from 0% to 80% in 20 minutes on CCS charging at a maximum rate of 50kw, after the battery reaches 90% the charging rate will drop to 10kw to 7kw max charge.
Teslas will charge at over 100kw up to 80% and the speed will slow down considerably. It will take about 30 to 40 minutes to charge a Tesla to 80% at a Super Charger.
Hi Randy sad 😢 almost new car catching fire 🔥
I like the concept of the I3. The car is pretty old and it was forward thinking by bmw.
2018 isn't old..the tech in the car is still being used in cars today.
Yayyy Mike!
The i3 would look awsome all black 🤔😎
Straight piped bmw i3
love the video and ya i3 Randy
When the i3 goes into regent braking do the brake lights illuminate?
Yes.
I knew she survived
