Nice review! Just purchased an '18 CPO i3s REx as perfect antidote for previous 328i. Personality changes from highly efficient EV to sporty character evocative of BMW heritage with flicks of mode switch. Clear but worthy demerits to range with sport mode when choosing to let off a bit of enthusiast steam!

The headline with the i3 Sport is how much better it handles on the highway than a non-Sport i3. Its revised suspension and wider tires yield a less flighty feel at higher speeds or in windy conditions. This is a significant improvement that many reviewers miss.

Good points, many reviews suggest base i3 has darty freeway handling. Was handed keys for solo test drive and made beeline for nearest highway! Pleasantly surprised with sport composure and focused balance of joyride on city streets. Dealer had standard i3 in stock but felt no reason for comparison drive.
