FAQQuestions about the i3s manual

Which i3s years does this manual cover?

Every year from 2018 to 2022 — 5 separate manuals, one per model year. Pick your year in the selector; the manual you receive is matched to that exact year, engine and trim.

Is this the OEM BMW i3s manual or an aftermarket guide?

The OEM version. It carries the procedures, specifications, torque values and wiring diagrams BMW published for the i3s, organized by system — not a condensed aftermarket summary.

Does it include i3s wiring diagrams?

Yes. Full wiring diagrams are part of every i3s manual, alongside repair procedures, specifications and diagnostic information.

Does the manual cover i3s recalls?

2 recalls are on federal record across the 2018–2022 i3s, listed by year below. The manual carries the manufacturer's diagnostic and repair procedures behind the systems involved; the recall repairs themselves are performed free by BMW dealers.

Why do some i3s years cost more?

Every i3s year is $40.99.

Is this a subscription?

No. One payment, and the manual is yours to keep — unlike per-vehicle subscriptions that renew every year.

How do I get the manual after purchase?

It is a digital manual — nothing ships. Access details arrive by email right after checkout, and you can use it on any device.
