      It’s a gem! 💎 I didn’t appreciate the i3 when it first came out, but trying to make up for it now. Thanks for watching! 😄

    I like your Channel, i feel a bit the same…. The i3 and my poodle, but mostely my wife drives it… i use the i4 but the poodle prefers the i3

      I think the tall roof of the i3 makes the dogs feel more comfortable inside. ^_^
      I'm jealous of your i4, drove one as a loaner when the i3 was in for service and really liked it, even though it was a base RWD eDrive 35.

    Did you know Belle tires will store your winter tires for free!

      The local BMW dealer used to offer storage, but they stopped when they were bought out, so that’s why the snow tires are in the living room! 😫
      Thanks for the tip, there are some BT locations around here!

    During the week of the freeze 🥶 in Chicago i plugged in my car at work. I have a 2014, i barely made it home. Once the weather was at least 25 degrees F all was good

      A lot of cars struggled in the Chicago freeze, including Teslas! It was crazy seeing all the bricked cars at the Supercharger stations, and the Model Y was getting about half its normal range on the highway. Range anxiety is no fun!

    I ve driven my 2nd hand i3 one winter in Sweden and have to say it has worked out perfectly. Fyi we have 6 months of snow and ice where I live

      Do you see significantly reduced range in the winter as your i3 gets older, or is it manageable?
      On a 2016 with 60Ah battery, I get about 65 miles (105 km) in the summer and about 20-25% less range in the winter.
      Still useable, but I would be nervous without the REx! 😅

      @@thefleet yes I do. In summer (25C) I have 240km range with the 94Ah battery. At -25C there is merely 150 km left.
