What customers are saying

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.

Regret

PROS
Seat Comfort

it is very comfortable but not heated which is crazy

CONS
Braking

feels like it doesn’t want to stop. as if the car is too heavy

Interior Space

traded a Mazda CX 5 which had much more room even though this one looks bigger

Technology and Entertainment

There’s a short somewhere in the wires which causes the lights to randomly turn on and off unless the car is locked

Zippy daily driver!

PROS
Ride and Handling

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.

Braking

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.

Styling

Looks interesting, nothing like it on the road even today.

CONS
Fuel Economy

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.

Seat Comfort

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.

Cost to Maintain

Repairs are not common on this model of BMW, but if/ when something does go wrong, it can be pricy!

Interior Space

very spacious

Fuel Economy

CONS
Power

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 ..

Reliability

again takes a lil work and planning to keep or to get charged, some stations might be far and few

Weather Versatility

first time in rain, tires aren’t that wide, so have to be mindful of the road, and reduce your speed, handles different
