Just bought a used 2016 i3 through CarMax.

I was able to log into the MyBMW website and create an account with the vehicle in my 'Garage', but the site hangs when I try to set my preferred local dealer.

I downloaded the app, logged in using the same credentials, but it shows I have no vehicles in my 'garage' and throws an error when I try to add the VIN of the car. Is this just me or is the system experiencing a lot of weirdness right now?

We toured Hermann, Missouri this weekend for a wine tasting event, and I found this gorgeous piece on display in the history museum there. For scale, the display card is about 3"x4". The thread was so fine that I don't think any of my hooks would enable me to do this, even if I had the skill/time/patience to take it on!

We have an opportunity to buy a 2016 i3 Mega World REx with about 35K miles on it. The price is good, but this would be our first all-electric car, and I am still sorting out what to look for in a car, especially one ten years old.

My understanding is that the 2016 i3 had a range of 70-80 miles electric before it had to rely on the range extender to help it go another 70-80 miles.

We test drove this one tonight, and the battery showed about 78% charge. The blue distance bar at the bottom showed only 35 miles, though. Does this suggest the battery is badly degraded, or does the regenerative braking extend those 35 miles into closer to 70?

This is probably nothing major, but it is weird.

We have a car in transport right now. The window for when it's predicted to be available at our local store starts tomorrow, so I checked the website just to see how the transport is going. I know it probably won't be ready tomorrow, but last I heard, the transport WAS in my city, so who knows?

Anyway, my CarMax website dashboard has a big blank space where the car usually appears. My cart shows a '1', but clicking it doesn't change anything. I can see the car listed in my Favorites, but when I click on it, I get taken to a 404 page.

I tried searching for the car and it doesn't come up. I tried emptying my cache and opening the link in an incognito window. I still get a 404 error.

I did reach out to support, and they confirmed that the car is in their system, on hold and reserved for me, and that it is in my city waiting to be brought to the lot... so everything is probably (?) fine? But it's still weird and I wondered if it has happened to anyone else.
