i3s, anyone get one?
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Decided to get a leftover 2017 REX late in the year when I heard that the new battery was not available for some time yet. I can say that the extra range in the 2017 REX over the 2015 REX that I turned in, has made a big difference for me. I live in the Northeast, and with one fast charge and a REX tank, I can go almost anywhere. In the warmer, I regularly charge to 120 to 140 miles overnight. Range with the REX in ecopro is 220 miles for me. That said, another 50% would be nice. I must admit, that when I get in my other car, an X3d with 625 miles of range, that also feels good. I am amazed that I can go down the hiway at 62 mph in cruze at 42-44 mpg. Bailyhill

I picked one up on Tuesday with everything but the blue seatbelts. I’m coming from a 2014 REx so I can give my assessment of the difference the S makes. Short answer is it makes a big difference. Bigger battery is great (I’m in Brooklyn) and Sport mode makes a huge difference in the driving characteristics. I actually prefer how it drives in Comfort best as it feels a little faster than my 2014 but more stable and planted. The motor also has a slightly “beefier” tone to its whine. Im really happy with the S upgrade, while incremental, makes the car drive much more like a BMW than previous non-S models.
