To follow up on this topic, I made a video which explains all the pitfalls of the 120Ah upgrade. Thanks again to Havrla!
BMW i3 battery upgrade (60-120AH)
Hi all,
Did a battery upgrade on a BMW i3 REX, it went from 60AH to 120AH (42.2kWh). I still have to do some coding to get it out of power restricted mode, but really nice to see that these upgrades are possible, and almost plug'n'play!
I'll make a longer video with more details once I get the coding done!

Many are those who wish to make such a modification on their bmw i3 in the more or less long term.
Many people are also interested in the prototype made by LION Smart.
great video and modification. I think for many it can be an impetus on the way to improving their car.
