Arranging the work for the i3
The 2017 BMW i3 and an emissions test: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. Rules on emissions testing differ by province and state.
About your i3
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 0.6L 2-cylinder hybrid. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. It uses the 0.6L 2-cylinder hybrid and rear-wheel drive.
Who does what
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
Stay on the road
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. We collect the rental when your car is back. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Small things that help
Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for.
Talking to the shop
Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
When you know your dates
One request: the job, the car, and whether you need a rental meanwhile.
Request emissions test
Tell us when suits you. A person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one; the shop sets its own price and time.
