For Europe, you can enable the REX once the charge is below 75%. Euro i3's also have sunroofs available as a option

Not sure what BMW NA is doing to train their 'Genius's" but it seems not much.

If I "have a question about what type of oil to put in your 3 Series? Or a question on how to pair your new phone to your BMW? How about fuel mileage on our new Diesel models? Kevin is your go-to expert who will be able to assist you on all of your "Ultimate Driving Machine" needs! "

With regards to the gas tank it is clear from information posted by BMW, i3 owners, and most in discussion on the web since June the USA version gets a 7 liter tank and everyone else gets a 9 liter tank. BMW caved in to deliver a vehicle with greater electric only range than gas assisted to qualify as a bevx vehicle.

BMW could have done a far better job of training their people on the i brand (all their cars really). With the new technology and differences in utility it is essential to have the consumers fully informed before they buy. The folks running the test drive I attended some months back didn't know much more than how to start it and engage drive. Hard to build momentum this way.
