Love love love this car.
Handles beautifully, smooth, comfortable ride, cool interior, very quiet, amazing acceleration and so far, at 1,500 miles have put 1 gallon of gas. Best car ever. Beats much more expensive cars.

Luxury Car for a Steal
If you don't have access to a plug at home, logistics of charging could be a bit of a challenge. That being said, I have two because, for the price, there is no better electric car on the market. And by price, I mean a 2-3 year old CPO. I highly recommend purchasing a used one. I would not even consider buying a new one. The depreciation on this car is steep. So, after 2 years, a used one costs less than 1/2 the price of the original. But, you are essentially getting a new car since electric cars don't have all the mechanical and engine issues that a used ICE has. So, for $17,500, each, total $35,000, I have 2 essentially brand new cars for less than one moderately optioned new Tesla Model 3.

BMW i3 Rocks!
After reading and watching numerous reviews, I decided to take a test drive...sold! This car is very advanced and represents great concepts in engineering. Build quality is high and design is cutting edge. Fun to drive and practical to a point; long road trips (100+ miles) need some pre-planning for charging stops. We bought with the Rex option. Sitting height is higher than most cars and some small SUVs.

Super reliable with range extende, an amazing car!
My 2015 i3 rex has been wonderful. It's very fun to drive and is made of high quality exotic material. Even the 2015's 22kwh battery is larger than any other plug in hybrid on the market in 2019 (except the 2019 i3 ;) ) Also, the i3 can charge level 2 at 32amps while most other plug in hybrids are stuck at 16amps. Finally, it's the only plug in with gas engine that also has DC fast charge capacity. The narrow tires, rear engine and motor make for superb winter driving vehicle. I'm over 70,000 miles with zero problems. Much less maintenance than an ICE car. I love this car! I've put 40,000 miles per year. I still look forward to driving my i3 any chance I get.

Awesome ride!
BMW i3 is a great ride ... Feels and looks like an iPhone on wheels. It handles superbly and has the fit and finish found in a BMW. The acceleration is spectacular. 80 mile range is achievable in the Eco+ mode. Love the high tech and sustainable construction.
