He told me that he has been talking with his BMW service rep but not gettin very far. BMW say they have not heard of this issue as of yet. Seems very strange that only one BMW store is having this issue. Is anyone else having the same issue?
If a wheel alignment and camber adjustment doesn't fix the problem, send me a PM and I will send you the name and phone number of the lawyer (in San Diego, CA) who successfully prosecuted a class action against Honda for the excessive tire wear on early Acura NSX models in the early 1990s.

If a lot of i3 owners are getting 3,000 on a set of tires, there's a class action lawsuit in there. That's way too few miles for modern tires.
