Perfect Car for My Daily Needs

The BMW i3 has character, style, and class. It’s most certainly never boring. You’d think with its small stature that my 6’2” frame would feel cramped inside, but not so. This is true even in the back seat, which is easy to access via the suicide doors. Upon delivery there was a fit and finish issue that the dealer quickly corrected. (A wire got caught in front of the speaker in the door and was vibrating.) I also experienced a puncture in my flat tire at fewer than 200 miles. Thankfully the dealership went above and beyond and replaced it at no cost. As an added bonus for those who have range anxiety, BMW has provided two years of free charging at ChargePoint’s network of fast charging stations. (Most in my area seem to be found at Whole Foods Market.) My local dealership also has a program where you can drop off your i3 when you’re going on a longer trip and they’ll give you a loaner running on gasoline. I highly recommend getting the Technology & Driving Assistant Package. The updated iDrive display is definitely worth it, as the base display looks sad. The package also comes with convenient features like adaptive cruise control. Love this car and do not regret my purchase one iota.

Don’t assume you’ll need to install L2 charging equipment. Have been driving this car for almost 3 years plus a Soul EV, both used for commuting in a two person household, charging on a single 120v receptacle has been working fine.

Not much more to say than the title. The care feels spacious on the inside. Drives so snappy and with a little practice the break pedal is hardly touched. My advice to BMW: Come out with an i4 by just stretching the i3 a bit wider and longer....

I have had my i3 for a little over a year now. For the most part, I do like it. However, I will be on the lookout for a different car soon. PROS Fun to drive, nice stereo, comfortable seats, no stopping at gas stations, and storage is great! CONS Limits how far I can travel due to limited range. Back seat is challenging to get in and out of and it gets HOT due to no air vents back there. Any maintenance is EXPENSIVE! (4 new tires cost me $1400) In one year, I have had to take my car into the shop three times for repairs. If you are looking for a fun electric 2nd car, this is a nice choice. If you are looking for a new single car, you may want to look somewhere else. You may be disappointed once you have it a while.
