Good Evening i3 owners.

I am now the proud owner of a 2014 BMW i3 REX with 20,000km (12k miles)
Mine was the fist in the country and was used my BMW SA to showcase the car here. As you can imagine it has a lot of the tech options. Such as

20" wheels - no worries about winter tires as we don't get snow
LED Headlights
Ionic Silver pain
Comfort access
Sunroof
Design lodge interior with Velour mats
Seat heaters
DC rapid charging
Driving assist plus (traffic jam assist+Active cruise control)
Park assist package(reverse cam+PDC+park assist)
Navigation system Professional
Connected drive services

As far as I can tell it has every option except the HK sound system

I came from driving a 2006 Toyota Land Cruiser 4.2TDI now with almost 200,000 miles on it. This car has been a big mind shift, but it is absolutely the best car I have ever owned. Coming from owning Audi S3, S4, Golf GTIs blah blah. This car (car doesn't seem like the right word) changing the way you see cars.

I will post some pictures in the morning
 
Beware the 20" tyres/tires. Just about any puncture on the (very skimpy) sidewall will render them unrepairable, so you might want to check that your dealer has replacements in stock. However, you live in South Africa (I'm guessing either Cape Town of Joburg) which, in my experience, have better roads than here in San Francisco—where even the potholes have potholes—so maybe you will be all right. Enjoy!
