Late to the party. One feature I discovered is the emergency brake releases when the car is in gear and you step on the accelerator but only if your seatbelt is on.
Thanks for the continuing i3 videos! I drive a MINI Cooper SE but now that the market is finally accepting a flood of new EV models, the prices of i3s, Leafs and Bolts are finally beginning to drop, and we are considering looking for a normal-mileage fixer-upper, and your videos are helping guide us. Thanks!
The sponsor spot is a nice touch. "I found this phone holder. It's not mounted in the i3 I'm talking about, but I need the money". Other than that I really like the review!
The steering wheel sensor strip is for Traffic Jam Assist not ACC. Since TJA wasn't offered in the US, our wheels have the trim but not the internal components/wiring. That's why Quidzel offers the HOD emulator that tells the software hands are on the wheel.
Absolutely, I own both and the BEV handles so much better. Steering is crisper and lighter too. Rex to Bev is like going from wearing boots to sneakers. Bev is Best !!
Thanks for the info! I might have not made myself very clear, I meant BEV when referring to heat pumps. As far as turning off the main screen, it literally just turns off the display, but the head unit is still on.
Installed a 48amp EV Charging Station for my i3. Check it out here: th-cam.com/video/slvKYta-_sE/w-d-xo.html

I recently bought a 2015 BMW i3...maybe 35,000 miles... $17k and great shape! Best car I have ever owned...perfect for around the city. Love it!
Great insight into BMW's philosophy with the i3.
Nice video! I learned 2 new items: steering wheel induction and windscreen. Ps: I own a 2020 I3 (43kWh).
Glad there was something! Thanks for watching.

Great vid man love this car although Im still on the fence with trading my Lexus RX350 for a 2017 REX
Best ever EV handsdown! Nimble efficient and looks cool I think. Perfectly balance. Small boot but then what were you expecting?

10:12 Actually the REX negatively affects how the car drives, by adding nearly three hundred pounds (136 kg) to the vehicle mass.

No Rex ever had a heat pump. Push the option button behind the large I drive knob. To get the menu to turn off the main screen.

I love the size design just make it into a petrol / diesel car no electric for me until the charging gets easier
Hi! Do you know how to find the miles with the use of Rex? In the old version of the app i got this number...
Do you have a video about the tires?
I don't have one as I didn't think anyone would watch it. What would you like to know?
@@SimpleCarGuy people seem to have tire issues and then issues sourcing and affording new tires due to the size - I believe they are motorcycle tires?
@@cmpc724it’s not a motorcycle tire but in North America there’s only 1 choice which is Bridgestone. They are a premium tire so kind of expensive.
Are you still planning to remove the scratches on the outside?
Actually, yes! I have bought the paint to repaint the hood and a vinyl wrap to wrap it after it doesn’t match the rest of the car :)
@@SimpleCarGuy can’t wait for that video. 😊
Que are de filter ir Sir?
Air
Actually you can turn of the head unit using option menu
I believe that only turns off the display, not the actual head unit.
