I took apart this BMW i8 so we can wrap it to another color. Chrome Red is the color we are doing.

Yeah, I had a few Bmw techs asked me to take down the video due to “uncertified removal of their vehicle” lol. So I will just leave the video as is, I’m sure it has helped many people already.

Great job. Do you know how the shark fin antenna comes off, is there a screw or just tape? Thanks

Hey Kevin, we are scheduling an i8 for a blind spot detection system and I am wondering if we need to take the rear fender wells out in order to get the inner rear panel off or not? (the one with the BMW logo). Thanks

Awesome video. The part that comes from the top of the roof and down across the back, on top of the tail light, can I remove only that part or do I need to remove bumper or any other to remove it? Also for the tail lights, can I just remove them or also I would need to remove the top part of the bumper? Thanks man

You need to remove the rear bumper so you can remove the bolt thats holding it down. Theres about 6 bolts and 1 snap pin thats holding it (driver side has the antenna that you need to remove the trunk interior to disconnect)

Struggling getting that mirror wiring harness to feed out of the door. It looks like the 4 connections are secured by a clip inside the door. How did you get it to release to feed the connections up and out? I'm working on a 2018 i8. I didn't have this issue on the past '15 and '16 i8 I worked on.

I'm doing one now, are you able to give me some pointers on the rear quarter panel wing? Does the rear bumper have to come off to pull that off?

@CSOCSO 3 жыл бұрын

I wish this was answered. It kinda looks like you need to remove the tail lights to get to same bolts from underneath that holds those wings. I might be wrong... but thats what it looked like

I have an i3 that needs a Quarter Panel replaced. Found one that is in great condition from a car scrap yard. Any experience with replacing those?

Haven't tried on a bmw i3 yet, seems like it could be something simple as the i8.

So is that back piece that holds the camera and plate. Just clipped on? If I wanted to replace its just the screw behind the plate?

And all the wiring behind it.

@@Kevin4Hire thanks, so no need to remember be the whole bumper just for that part. Great thanks

@Kevin4Hire 5 жыл бұрын

Yeah, its just two 10mm behind the license plate. If I remember correctly and all the wires behind the piece before you can take off the whole thing. There are enough room for you to put your hand in there and unplug everything. The plugs may be hard at first but im sure once you remove the first plug, the other will be easy. Also, the bottom clip on that piece thats clipped in the bumper, use a pick or something thin to lift the clip out of the hole so you wont risk ripping the bumper.

@Kevin4Hire 5 жыл бұрын

the whole bumper after the camera piece, it'll be fun, just remember the two screws on each bottom corner, its a torx i believe. (been so long, i kinda forgot.)
