Has anyone been contacted by their CA directly or dealer regarding trading in their i3?
Mine called today, I wonder if this would prevent the i3 from being traded in. I know early on with the takata debacle it didn't allow any trade Ins with defective airbags. |

You could trade a car with Takata recall, and you can trade an i3, the problem is that if the dealer can't resell it right away - it affects the trade-in value.

I think more should be done on BMWNA's part for the consumer, to not let the trade be affected. I know the dealer was compensated for the cars they couldn't sell during the takata recall. |

(1). You will get destroyed on trade-in value, as the market value of used i3s is significantly (read $10+K) below lease return values. (2). Dealer will not be able to resell the car to anyone else, due to the pending recall that still does NOT have an engineering fix from BMW. In other words, you will get your face ripped off even if some dealer decided to take your i3 back. Under all circumstances, other than lease-return. But especially now. a

I was planning on a new i3 this month or next. Guess that will have to wait. I don't mind too much, it just means I keep my current one longer. The extra range would have been nice. Hopefully this will also lower the price of new ones later.

A motorcycle helmet doesn't help prevent concussions above 35 MPH. A person has a right to do with his body what he wants.

Not when others have to pick you up or should they check you can pay your bill before they do help you.

Is this for real: 'there is a possibility of injury to a small person in front seat in a front collision without a seatbelt'
Surely there is a possibility of injury or even DEATH to ANYONE travelling in the front seat without a seatbelt FFS!!! |

A possible scenario I suppose is sitting in a parked vehicle without engaging the seat belt and experiencing a full frontal crash by another vehicle in motion.

Couldn't the quick fix be an I-drive notification to wear your seatbelt? If not accepted then the car can't be put into drive?
It's about as useless as the other notifications to not text while driving or use the navigation while driving, but somehow releases the MFG from legal issues.

took my '17 i3Rex in for RTTI software update last week. Clerk mentioned to me about the open Service Bulletins (recalls) for the Frontal Crash and Programming issues.. Programming will be done, but she wasn't sure what/if there is a fix in store yet for the Frontal Crash issue..
should get car back today/tomorrow. |
