They're also available on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/AutoSock-AS645-Winter-Traction-Device/dp/B001NCHVK6 Although, I'm not sure what size to use. The one linked above is for tires that seem to be closest to the 155/70 R19 stock i3 tires

Seems funny. Not even one on the West Coast, and that's where Tesla has the Mexico to Canada supercharged highway.

Booo on the no production version! So I guess we don't know for sure about the i3 sunroof yet then?

Hi Gary, welcome to the forum! We're mostly in holding mode here, waiting for more information such as pricing and release cities. Glad to have you with us!

That is a good question, but thanks for the answer Tom - you're right. We are still a good ways off from the BMW i3 being available so there is still time to build awareness. It's easy to think the date is closer considering the i3 is getting more press now.

AutoCar UK has a post with some spy photos of the BMW i3 hot weather testing, and apparently being jump started!?

The BMW i3 concept is being shown in Leipzig at a special trade fair to interested persons from police and other public authorities. (BMW says for the first time ever - does that mean it's the production version they will be seeing?) The BMW i3 would be well suited for deployment in localized...

BMW i ventures, which is the BMW sub brand that is developing the BWW i3, BMW i8 and some other yet-unknow electric vehicles, has announced it has made a strategic investment in Coloumb Technologies. Read the full post on the BMW i3 Forum
