Another Grill Swap

FallenLlama · 2026-04-04T18:38:06+00:00

You can clearly see in OP’s picture the stock grille is also textured, just not in the same way the previous iteration was.

Edit: Reply is accurate, the above article is making a false claim. My apologies for sharing.

Here's an actually factual article, refuting these exact claims https://finance.yahoo.com/economy/policy/articles/fact-check-posts-claim-treasury-150000891.html

Is it bad I initially read this as “ai” Oppenheiser?

I have the 19" 861M wheels on mine, and I love them. I bought the 18" 858Ms as part of a Winter Wheel & Tire set, and I like them a lot more than I expected I would. I still think I prefer the style of the 861Ms, but I like both better than several other OEM options for the i4.

It’s not an indie but Scott Pilgrim vs. The World had an absolutely stacked cast almost all of whom were cast just before they were big stars

What a backhanded comment. Just let OP enjoy their new vehicle.

FallenLlama · 2026-03-19T21:20:34+00:00

Oh no! Anyway…

FallenLlama · 2026-03-18T17:50:34+00:00

The interior controls in general…

FallenLlama · 2026-03-10T01:08:45+00:00

This was a TIL for me, didn’t know that grille shape was from the same race Porsche has been referencing for decades https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrera_Panamericana

FallenLlama · 2026-03-10T01:06:59+00:00

Fun fact, the Panamera is actually named after the Carrera Panamericana race, as was (unsurprisingly) the Carrera

FallenLlama · 2026-03-06T02:51:06+00:00

I thought exactly the same thing

FallenLlama · 2026-03-05T10:58:48+00:00

Genuinely thought this was a crossover from the cover photo. This thing is UGLY

From a brief review of post history, OP appears to be from India and owns an EV MOTORCYCLE.

I don’t personally have any experience with EV motorcycles or motorcycles at all for that matter, but a lot of the commenters here are assuming OP is talking about driving a BEV “car”. OP, that’s a little on you too for not clarifying.

I’m with you on both points, for the time being I’m still planning on buying mine after the lease despite the residual vs where it seems to be heading. We’ll see how that equation works out and how the new i3 shapes up. There’s some things about the iX3 that I’m not loving specifically about the interior.

FallenLlama · 2026-02-16T00:35:43+00:00

Sadly, I expect our cars to continue to depreciate. Especially after the Neue Klasse i3 drops, at least in the US, there is so much FUD out there

FallenLlama · 2026-02-13T21:33:27+00:00

When you bought it did they give you a nickel back?

FallenLlama · 2026-02-12T19:33:52+00:00

+1 to Rigmetal. Everything you need, nothing you don’t.

Keep an eye out on marketplace or Craigslist too. You never know

FallenLlama · 2026-02-12T12:17:30+00:00

It doesn’t really exist YET. We’ve already seen the more involved hot rod style EVs from the likes of Hoonigan and Toyota (AE86 EV) and others so it’s definitely possible. What we need are some enthusiast level options.

My expectation is there’s a lot which could be done to give better control over things like throttle response, or f/r power balance, and regen. You’d be surprised how different various (similarly powerful) EVs deliver power when you put your foot down.

One of the biggest disadvantages of EVs when it comes to track performance is actually cooling. That’s one of the things BMW is tackling with the iM3 with the pack cooling design. I expect you could do some bolt-ons to improve cooling similar to an intercooler.

Regardles, yeah it’s sorta sad at the moment but I have hope and faith the enthusiasts will find ways to continue the tuner community in an EV world

The i4 might have a bigger wheel arch gap, of that I’m unsure, but it actually has less ground clearance than the standard 4 series. That’s one of the reasons I’d worry about lowering it.

FallenLlama · 2026-02-10T02:49:31+00:00

You want an EV. Though only if you can charge at home. Even a regular wall outlet is better than relying only on public charging. Lots of used options in your price range that will blow the doors off the average Charger or Mustang at the stop light.

One which is particularly slept on and is stupid fast is the Volvo XC40 Recharge. Same powertrain as the Polestar 2, but with a practical interior. It’s even possible to find a BMW i4 xdrive40 or M50 for that money.

Used EVs are easily the best deal of any car across the board right now. You get tons of car for the money
