Surprisingly enough, you can get that from the BMW i3.

- The monitor is necessary but it is not a touch screen and it comes with a nice clicky knob to control it. Plus you can make shortcuts to go to certain screens with the radio station buttons.

- 2014 - 2017? all shipped with a 3g module that is now unsupported and not working.

- You can get access to munros teardown report for $10(1), and if you know where to look ;) you can find the service tech training manuals and their repair instructions for free which are all very detailed.

- realoem.com has exploded parts diagrams with part numbers for everything.

The only negatives really is:

- buying OEM parts comes with that BMW price premium and the dealer will 100% rip you off if you ever take it to them for repairs.

- The OEM tires, the only kind that fit on the OEM wheels, have terrible tread life.
