- A full tour and showcase of the fantastic vehicle from BMW that is the BMW i3. This is also the sport model with the largest battery. To think that this car is based on a 10 year old design is fantastic to think about. This design looks modern and fresh, even though there are som significant stuff missing, like electric seats and heated steering wheel (not optionable).

LOL. The blinker ... "the least used function on a BMW."
much fun with it... i bought an I3s in 2020 ... also used... perfect car... indeed
🤩Wow. Your car is fully loaded! Those are hard to find in California now. 😕
Thank you!
Wow, yours is the fully decked out one!
Thank you for showing precondition. This a function we have not used yet. Nice video.
Glad to hear it’s useful!
You mention 155 winter tyres. Can you specify the exact tyres please so I can purchase a set. Thanks and great video content 👍
thanks so much for the thorough tour! i’m looking at a certified used 2020 i3s to buy, and this was very helpful! 😊
Thanks! Hope you get a good deal!
The eletric motor is under metal plate in the back, and the car RWD. There is little frunk under the boonet 😊
Thank`s for a very thoroughly video! I’d love to hear your opinion on the sound system; can it handle a usb drive or a memory card containing music files? Best regards to you and your better half 🌞
I’ll try to get to this soon. Sound system is good, I think H&K is quite an important option.
i agree i have an i3 it's ok , sad bmw have stopped making proper ground up evs
I bought a used i3S this week which is almost identical to yours! Thanks for this video, really looking forward to discovering all of the settings and options :) Did you know the rear seats have a 90° cargo-position? The seat backs can lock in vertical position which makes it easier to carry bulky items in the boot.
Yes! It’s awesome. Congratulations on the car, can’t wait to discover more as well.
@@RoamingNorway Thanks! Mine has no sunroof, but it´s got blue seat belts 😍
Wow, I would have gone for the blue seatbelts too, if I got the chance. @@TheBanOneA
I have a 2022 unique i3s one of 2000 unfortunately it is not as well equipped as yours but I’m really impressed with it
My wife used it and passed it onto me as you wanted a x1 with better range
Won’t be selling anytime soon as it has depreciated in value massively
Thanks for the video I learnt a few things
Thanks for watching!
Think the silver details in the front was only at the 2019 model, means you have a heating pump ect.. right or wrong??
Hello... I have a BMW I3S 2021 with 28000 km with the same equipment as the one you are traveling in. Mine has hosted the first long trip with it from Herning, Denmark and Rome, Italian via Switzerland and Austria home 4650 km. I have a question for the heat pump, about somehow getting it to run for longer than the 30 min run now, I would like to think that it could heat the car for a longer time when it is winter and when the trip later goes to northern Norway trip ❄️❄️
Awesome! Don’t know about the climate options but I’ll look into it.
Hi. Just bought my self a 2019 whit the sport package similar color. But it’s whit the sport package but not whit the S and 14 more horse power. 💪
But anyway.,. You can put the preheating on easily when you set the timer in when you want to charge and leave.
Also if you push the door opening on app (I think) or you use the remote fob (key)
Every time you open and close the car it will start preheating in 30 minutes
Nice overview - I bought one of the last i3S made for U.K. market in May 22 with similar spec to yours. A few comments:
1. Great car, my only big concern going forward
is cost and availability of tyres for i3S where owners appear to have only Bridgestone Ecopia as a choice. You seemed to name other makes but you also seem to use smaller size on rear which I read was inadvisable ?
2. No mention of app which is pretty good and can do the pre warming/cooling of vehicle, find where you parked etc
3. I had to accept small screen due to chip shortages whereas i3S was meant to have larger screen as standard.
4. Mine only has one standard USB and no wireless phone charger but did come with Apple CarPlay.
5. This is a very efficient EV vs the bloated SUV types. 5 miles per kWh is standard summer driving, around 4 in winter.
6. Useful tip on traction control off for snow/ice. We only get a handful of snow days in London but when we did in 2022, I had a very hairy drive home on summer tyres (again not really justifiable in London).
7. I have made a small number of medium to long haul trips without incident. Selecting older rapid chargers en route means I have never had to queue as the 50 kWh max rate is too slow for the big SUV brigade.
Thanks for the comment. There are plenty of tyres available here in Norway. Bridgestone is the go to for summer, but winter tyres have multple options.
Michelin has front tires for the I3S, in the original size. (E-Primary) . For winter your can use Noikian.
I would never mix all season/summer and winter tires.@@pilotandthecity8527
I also will never do that. it's dangerous, I also didn't write that above, The Michelin front tires are summer tires, Sadly, only available in the right size, for the front tires. In summer I have the original recommended tires at the back wheels for the summer, the Bridgestone,@@RoamingNorway
Good Video! love my I3s , best decision ever
Thank you for the comment!
Just for extra information: preconditioning the battery only works for
Preheating the battery if you activate the preheating 3hours + before leaving. Otherwise it only heats the cabin.
Nice car. I switched back from a ID4 to this car because... it's just a great car in many perspectives. Not perfect but nice, with a touch of character 🤙
Do you have a source on this for future videos? Thanks for information.
It's stated in the I3 manual.
You can see it happen when using an app that can read out the battery data, like Electrified. There you can see the battery temp , and for you interesting also the actual battery capacity and SOH.@@RoamingNorway
You forgot about the third 12v supply under the middle of the dashboard
Thanks for letting me know!
Hej! Bruger du en Tesla Wall conector hjemme eller har du en anden lader-udbyder?
En gammel Garo-lader men har snart en Tesla Wall Connector i tillegg.
@@RoamingNorway vi har også en Tesla i forvejen og skal hente en i3 i dag, jeg har dog glemt at undersøge om Tesla Wall conector er kompatibel med i3’en?!🫣
Jepp, det er den.
I use to have a BMW i3 2019 I loved it. But unfortunately someone crashed into it and it was a write off.
That’s sad to hear, good cars🙌
@@RoamingNorway yep, I’ve had a few cars since then I had the new Fiat 500e 42kwh. Excellent car just not very big. I now have a 2023 Renault Megane EV 60kwh.
Nice walk around. Hope you don’t mind some stream of conscious comments I jotted down while watching.
• I find it easier to use the rear seat back releases in the cargo area.
• Front seat backs tilt forward to make rear seat access easier. Release lever is the large panel on the back of the head rest.
• Never seen front fog lights. Then again the rears weren’t offered in the US because most Americans have no clue how to properly use them so don’t take my word.
• The panels on either side of the frunk box are just cosmetic. They hide bits like the hydraulic brake reservoir. There are finger indents at the front so you can lift them off. Held in place by velcro.
Thanks for the comment, always love some input! I never saw those releases, awesome. I’ve seen the front fogs on some models.
