We didn't spec the car, it was an ex-bmw car so it came as it did.... with hindsight I would choose to be driving around in a car that could have that much of a liability of cost of replacement. £4,500 is an excessive amount of money for any car, let alone a small'ish i3 As posted above...

coming in late on this, my wife and I got stranded in MK until we found the manual release, car had to go back in and had some kind of release actuator replaced as it has failed hence locking the cable in place...
