I'd be careful with some of the cheaper oil level sensors on ebay. They have a habit of not lasting too long or even leaking.
Yes, that is why I buy things like sensors from Audi.

Today 1...... Did something very stupid. I test drove an i3 at a BMW dealership!!!!
BIG mistake, I now want one even more!!!!
The acceleration was superb (0-60 matching an M3 apparently!!!)
The ride was great too, firm but comfortable.
I like the way that as you lift off the throttle it slows you down (due to the regenerative brake recovery, in other words the battery is being charged and that causes the slow down a bit like F1 one cars do with DRS).
It needs you to change your driving style slightly, but it has advantages. I did the whole test drive without needing to take my foot off the accelerator and brake (apart from when the guy in front decided to turn without indicating)
I parked it next to my car and they were almost identical in length and as we all know, they are quite similar in shape and proportions.
I WANT ONE !!!

I hear you on the one pedal driving. That's what really got me impressed when I test drove the M3, except the performance and the fact that it's an electric car. That's the way a car should be driven for commuting/transport. Perhaps not a race track, but that's not what the i3 is designed for.Today 1...... Did something very stupid.

I would never be in a situation where I do not own an A2. With my wife's 90 it is an ideal partner for an i3. Use the i3 for the short hops and around town and the 90 for everything else. (Plus the other 6 in the family means I am surrounded by them).Enough to leave A2 ownership? A scary thought!!
Steve after the initial newness had worn off you would be bored with it..Today 1...... Did something very stupid. I test drove an i3 at a BMW dealership!!!!

@Steve, try drilling two 10mm holes in the bottom of the drivers Headlight and one 8mm one at the side. Did mine in February I think and have had no condensation whatsoever since or problems with water ingress.

Can you make photo of the holes sometimes?

Today, I picked my car up after having some panels painted. The rear bumper, and both front doors have all been resprayed. I'll post some photographs on my 'Members Cars' thread when it's clean again - sadly its first outing post paint was in the rain.
Regards,
Matt.
Looks stunning Matt;
P.S. Is that the latest in DAB aerials in picture 2?
