@serichards I want links to the propitious vehicle! Only then can I share my worthless opinion of the pros and cons. I still think any i3 counts as car porn. 🤪
@BitchinRob Wisely Automotive on YouTube and FB is an excellent resource IMHO.
Arthur (owner) and Martin are very knowledgeable and communicate openly about pricing, frequent issues, etc.
They also recently posted the cost of their service interventions.
Martin has also driven various i3 models across country, and reported on the ease of doing that as well.

Would I buy a #BMWi4 after this?
No.
Very competent. Doesn’t feel like a BMW IMH(fbw)O*. Too heavy.
The #BMWi3 feels much more like a BMW. Nimble and sprightly.
Once inside, the rear view is like a cave for cave trolls. I’m not a cave troll. Very dark, and huge rear pillars. One has to rely on the cameras a lot, but for overtaking or lane changing, glancing over one’s shoulder is insufficient for carefree maneuvers.
* fbw = free but worthless
Well there are the final results! 🥳
Thank you all for voting. Fun experience with some interesting discussions.
I’m not entirely surprised the #BMWi3 won the poll.
I am somewhat surprised that the #BMWi8 Roadster didn’t get more votes, as it’s the more unusual car, so maybe a future classic, as @ukuku has suggested before. 🤔
This is the i3, CPO, with 11 months of the new car warranty remaining. CPO adds another year + unlimited miles after that.
It is a 3Y lease return.
@SteveInVentura I’ve watched a few videos from #WiselyAutomotive of London Town 🇬🇧. They specialize in #BMWi3 and other EV’s. I normally hate YouTube but Martin of W.A. is a joy to listen to.
Anyway, some of his explanations involve road trips to drive purchased i3’s back to London, and he never discharges the battery completely, or charges above 90% because it wastes time on a long trip.
It’s an extreme example, but it demonstrates the logic perfectly.
"Alexa, cool the car" - while getting ready to go out, and then straight into a nice cold car 👍
remote aircon is one of my faves of owning an EV #bmwi3 #alexa #ev
Current mood:
♥️: I really want to buy a #BMWi3. They’re much cheaper than they were a year ago when I first considered one.
🧠: shut up! Not again! 😑 It didn’t make financial sense the first time. It still doesn’t. Stop-it already! 😠
♥️: I also really want to buy a #BMWi8 for about $50K (pre tax & registration etc.).
🧠: Wut?! Are you off your meds?! 😳 😱
♥️: I don’t take any meds.
🧠: I think you should start. Pronto! 🤦♂️
Did a 160 mile round trip drive with my EV, a 2018 BMW i3 with REX. It worked out well, I turned the range extender on and used it as soon as I was able and used gasoline first. Had to fill up on the way back (1.3 gallons!) but made it home with 60% of a charge.
"Range anxiety" has been an issue, I had a Prius that could go 480 miles on a tank. Not so worried now.
@serichards voted for the i3 brain car, because I just loved that thing when I tried it last year. 🥰
I didn’t find the cloth seats objectionable, but I did find the leather seats (and interior) very dark.
If I were you, I’d try for one with the technology package, which gets the larger center screen which looks much more up to date.
Charging was a breeze, and the acceleration felt faster than either of our Mercedes-Benz V6 petrol cars.
