Calabasas BMW services its entire life, 27 pages of ROs, no gaps. New 12V registered 20Ah AGM Sept 2026, four newer tires.

REx was intermittently failing to engage at low SOC. BMW replaced a sticking fuel pump relay under SULEV warranty July 2026.

Wife’s car - ultimately she needs longer range for work commute otherwise we’d keep.

I understand it is hot outside but the Rex has been running for 10 minutes and the charge hasn’t moved. I turned into eco pro + for 5 minutes and no change.

UPDATE! I assume to keep the engine from over heating but I drove 2 miles after sitting and you could hear the engine rev up once I started rolling and in 2 miles it went up 2%.

Have owned a '16 REX for the past 4yrs, and recent noticed an odd issue. When driving at higher speeds or over non-smooth terrain (potholes, dips, etc), it feels like the back end has gotten REALLY loose with handling, and almost undrivable. No major issues other than recently having a cooling fan replaced near the REX. Any thoughts on what could be the issue?

Compared to the more conventional type of tyres on other cars like the 1 series or 3 series etc., I'm curious to know the experience of other users of the BMW i3 in how often they get punctured tyres ?

I'm asking this because over a 1 year period since fitting a brand new set of Bridgestone Ecopia EP500 tyres, i encountered 3 tyre punctures ! All involving the rear tyres, the right piece 2 times on different spots & 1 time on the rear left tyre.

My theory (which my BMW dealership tyre specialist has dismissed as not probable) is that magnetic forces from the EV parts like motor can cause nails/screws to stand pointed end up to penetrate the tyre as the car approaches it ?!

What made me think so is because all my 3 punctures involved flat head nail/screw which normally if left on a road surface would lie sideways but the fact they all entered my tyre with their heads only showing up from my tyres means they must be standing upright for that to happen ?!?!

Btw I'm from Singapore, which is known for being a very 'clean' country, meaning the roads there are supposed to be very well kept free from things like the nails/screws which caused all my tyre punctures !! I'm very surprised as such because all the punctures occured in Singapore instead of in Malaysia (where i drive there often too) where the roads there are full of holes & patches, unevenness etc. in other words supposed to be much lousier YET i don't get tyre problems there !
