In a BEV, no, in a REx, of course. I believe that commenter is saying "bigger battery" than his 2014-2016, if he has a 2017, his lease likely wouldn't be ending in October of 2017, crazy how math works.

My 2015 Coded US REx often shows more than 170 miles of total range. I rarely use a 1/4 of that in a day.

For wider tires.

Speak for yourself.

Springs, spacers, tint, tinted wheel arch reflectors, done.

A lot of these comments remind me of why I don't get on this site much anymore. Can you imagine the flack someone would get, or multiple people would get if they went into an M3/M4/M5/M6 forum and posted about how AWFUL they think those respective cars look? To each and every nay-sayer I say DRIVE IT, I was hooked instantly. It is a crazy fun car to drive, we now have two of them.

Luckily the i3 has an AMAZING Facebook Group, its one of the best features of the car, so I don't have to check their forum very frequently. Its just a glaring reminder of how some BMW owners are. "My BMW is better than your BMW because of XYZLMNOP" GTFOver yourselves.
