StuBeeDoo Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Washed it. That's twice in the last two-and-a-bit weeks. Found another couple of car park dings, and another rust bubble on the n/s/r arch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerFish Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 This i3 parks itself too! Massively cool, but totally not needed. Still need to try bay parking, but it can do parallel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjn Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Slippery slope, that. Drivers will just become more lazy, less skilful. Yes yes, i know cars have been able to park themselves for about 10 years. My point still valid though.

TriggerFish Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Agreed. Auto lights are proving this. I jumped in my e30, drove out of the car park i was in, and didn't notice my lights weren't on until someone flashed me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're just terrible. Not even fitted with doors I dunno, I think the Twizzy is quite cool. I prefer the look of it to the i3. In any case, if I were to go for an electric it would only be to commute in so the Twizzy would suit me fine (with the optional doors).

Stonesie Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) Cleaned out the idle valve, it was not too bad really but the boot was split so ive put some self amalgamating tape round the split to get it to work and back today, new boots should be in tomorrow morning. It shouldnt take long tomorrow as I flipped the hose clamps so they can be accessed from above. Edited October 20, 2015 by Stonesie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichS Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 I dropped the 330 at my trusted indie for an auto box flush with new ATF and filters, engine oil change and coolant flush and replace with antifreeze.

TriggerFish Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Remastered the art of efficient acceleration! I did have 4* anticipation, until I had to stop quickly as some lights changed, and it wiped it all out Maxtek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feva Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Been catching up trigger, please tell me it's not the i3?

TriggerFish Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 It is! Reception has been universally positive to the car (looks aside) from all who have been in it. Awesome performace, and so quiet inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine they are good inside but God they ugly, you compare that to the i8 and you just think "what we're bmw thinking?" it could of been so so much better looking.

Remastered the art of efficient acceleration!
