    BMW Fully Electric 3 series

    Anyone planning to get this? If it's truly $35k before incentives and get a range of 200 miles it might sell just as well as the Tesla model 3 since the BMW will have plenty of Federal/State rebates remaining.

    Just got a flat tire

    I have a 2016 and am able to remotely lock and unlock the car. The dealer replaced it with the same OEM tire which came out to a little over $150 after tax/labor. Also, came with the usual car wash/multi-point inspection/car charging. Pricing was in line . Tire Rack sells the same exact tire...

    Just got a flat tire

    I used the built in telematics to contact roadside assistance. Tow truck flatbed arrived in 45 minutes and I just signed a form. They towed it to the dealership no charge. They also provided an Uber ride home. Also no charge. I'll just have to pay for a new tire replacement. Overall pretty...

    Help! My car won't go into reverse (just moves forward)...

    This happens if you do not firmly hold down the brake when you hit the start button. If you hit the start button without firmly hitting the brake, you can move the gear into reverse and the car can roll forward. This happened to me in a Passat I was loaned. For some reason the brake pedal was...

    Infotainment problems. Screen turned white.

    Hey guys. I turned my car on and didn't see my backup camera view on the screen. I then proceeded to drive and my screen turned white. It didn't just turn white, but it acted like it was melting from black to white. I turned off and on the car and it did the same thing. I took it to the...

    Regenerative Braking Drive Modes Gimmicky?

    I feel the Regenerative Braking Drive Modes are gimmicky. I understand it is supposed to charge your battery more, but it comes at the price of losing the ability to coast. Putting in B mode is similar to driving a stick car in 1st gear only. When you let your foot off the gas, the car will...

    Anyone got a great deal this week?

    Based on the Sales Figures from VW, they sold 609 last month vs 237 in Dec 2014. http://media.vw.com/release/1121/ The leasehackr posting on this car probably helped sales as well. http://leasehackr.com/blog/2015/12/24/californians-e-golf-117-month-0-down Stevens Creek also lowered the...

    When considering the 2015 SEL vs the 2016 SE...

    I corrected my post. From my online checking, it appears the 2015 SEL is made in both Germany and Mexico. The 2016 SE appears to be made only in Germany for now.
