I've had my i3 about a week now. So far so good. It took some getting used to, but I really like it. I went with the capparis white. I really would like to wrap the car in a matte white or matte/gloss grey. I've only done a small mod. I swapped out the two bulbs on the bottom. With some hella yellow xenons.

I didn't like the factory bulbs and prefer a more functional yellow bulb.

I look forward to seeing more i3's on here. Also I'm looking to get it coded remotely, don't know anyone here where I live to code it, and don't have a whole lot of time to do it myself.

Here's a couple of quick bad pics.

Welcome to the forum sir!

Love the color reminds me of mine

Also just noticed it looks like 2016 models have black mirrors instead of white.... Cool!

Welcome aboard.

I think you will enjoy the car.

All my friends are still scratching their heads on why I got this car as opposed to another M! I tell them it looks ugly as sin but I feel like I'm driving the future!

So far, it's been interesting to say the least.

I can't believe how much attention it gets. Good and bad.

The bad being people at my office (government building) are making complaints when they see me plugged up on the wall. There is only one charging station on all of this military base that houses 27,000 plus soldiers. I find it ridiculous that I don't have any charging options here at work.

This base is covered in solar panels. One charging station.

Did you just put yellow bulbs in your high beams?

Yes, I found the headlamps that come on automatically are sufficiently bright for night time driving. I don't find myself using the high beams on any car really.
