Hi all,
Just thought I'd say hello and introduce myself. I'm the editor of What Car? and we've just taken delivery of our i3 range-extender long-term test vehicle. We're going to run the REX for six months, then switch over to a pure electric version for at least another couple of months, just to compare the experience.
I may post a link to our coverage of the car (if that's allowed here?) - the 'Hello', including full specs and first impressions, will appear on our website later in the week. But just to summarise, we're running a Laurus Grey REX with turbine style 428 19in wheels and Interior World Loft. We've gone with BMW's suggested options, which are pretty extensive!
19" BMW i bicolour light alloy wheels turbine styling 428 with mixed tyres - £680.00
Adaptive LED headlights - £710.00
BMW Professional Navigation - No cost
Comfort Access - £330.00
DC Rapid Charge preparation - £560.00
Driving Assistant Plus - £790.00
Electric Glass Sunroof - £780.00
Enhanced Bluetooth telephone with USB - £430.00
Information Plus - £215.00
Laurus Grey metallic - £530.00
Loudspeaker System - Harman Kardon - £640.00
Traffic Jam Assist - No cost
Interior World Loft comprising - £1,000.00
Multi-function steering wheel, Pearl with contrast white accent
Interior Trim: Grained foil finish
Velour floor mats, Carum Grey
Park Assist Package comprising - £790.00
Reversing Assist Camera
Park Distance Control
Park Assist
Winter Package comprising - £260.00
Seat heating for front driver and passenger seats
Pre-heating of HV battery with Active air flap control
Total list price of our car, including delivery/registration fees, is £41,545.
Interested to hear what any other owners, particularly UK-based people, have gone for on their car? We may even look at doing a 'meet-up' that we could make a story out of, comparing experiences, if people were interested?
Kind regards to all,
John
