The BMW i3 is praised for its impressive fuel efficiency, responsive handling, and stylish design. While the compact EV delivers a quiet ride and robust acceleration, concerns arise over limited cargo space, high maintenance costs typical of luxury vehicles, and some technology shortfalls. It shines as a commuter car with a luxury feel, particularly for city driving.
Aluminum underbody, carbon fiber roof, carbon fiber modular chassis. 90% aluminum suspension components, small brake disks, forged wheels from factory, and plastic body panels. This car is light in today’s modern car scene. It being RWD, weight bias in the back with the Range Extender platform, this is a zippy car, but also comfy. Kind of squirly* at higher speeds or windy conditions, recommend custom Bilstien shocks from Evolve Automotive to fix it, and to improve handling and ride quality greatly.
1-Pedal like driving means you don’t need to use the brakes in non-emergency situations. Saving you money on Brake disks, and Brake Pads. Keeping your shiny wheels free of brown brake dust contaminants. You only need to change the Brake-Fluid annually since Brake Fluid tends to welcome moisture overtime.
Looks interesting, nothing like it on the road even today.
Down on range, especially pre-LCI models. 94ah and 120ah much better, especially any model equipped with the range extender 2cyl engine. Having a charger at home or at work is the make or break for this kind of car. I wouldn’t recommended this car if you cannot charge at work or when parked at home.
The comfort is okay, Deka Dark cloth seats are fine, Lodge trim leather seats are nice! Downsides are the seats aren’t designed to support side-to-side motions, missing a lot of bolster support that usual BMW seats get in other models at that time and before.
Repairs are not common on this model of BMW, but if/ when something does go wrong, it can be pricy!
has great pick up really fun car to drive
very spacious
the extender only takes 6-7 to fill up
well, takes a lil work if I drive a lil further to LA, finding a EV station to charge, some takes a lil work, too keep charged, but once you get use to it and get to know the car, gets better ..
again takes a lil work and planning to keep or to get charged, some stations might be far and few
first time in rain, tires aren’t that wide, so have to be mindful of the road, and reduce your speed, handles different
I drove a friend the other day and until we moved, they did not even realize the car was on.
Honestly, this is one of the best parts of the car. I get to charge it for free at work for the electric engine and then I spend around 6 dollars to fill the tank, which then converts the gas to electricity if I run out of regular electricity.
It has so many buttons, I don't even know what half of them do.
