Looks like the i3 discussion is over on this forum after BMW brings out a great i3s this year.

Today being Friday I picked up a white demo i3s for our weekend test drive. We've just come back from a very dark tight, hilly, twisty roads and what a car. This is everything the i3 should have been from the start. My complaints from my test drive 3 years ago where:- Sloppy steering now...

This has taken 3 years for BMW to come up with a great i3s driver’s car. I had the car for only 30 minutes but what a fantastic better car than the old i3. I’ve had over the years plenty to say on the poor driving ability of the i3 and this was the reason I purchased my BMW 225xe. I have booked...

I don't understand why people need to make their car make a noise when the vehicle locks. How about think of others who may be asleep when a vehicle horn goes off. America is bad for horns going off when they lock their cars.

Doesn't BMW USA have 5 years warranty which includes free recovery for flat batteries or keys locked in the car. It even allows the cost of accommodation if required.

What I've seen over the last few months there is still no new EV vehicle I would purchase other a i3s which I hope to test drive soon. It has been over 2 years since I've had a test drive of an i3 so I'm hoping the latest i3s is a good upgrade. I'm not sure on a rex as it needs servicing and we...

I have to agree. BMW should stop with there poor mapping and apps.

The only semsiable way to buy an i3 is using your company to be able have tax right offs. What I am seeing from BMW is the i3 will be the cheapest EV ever manutatured as the X3 will be a lot more dollars as well the next i cars. Trump is going to be the biggest factor as he has said he will...

The way BMW is going with its up coming new I cars the i3 may be cheap buying. I do think trump could turn the whole EV market on i's head if he lowers miles per gallon consumption .

The i3 price is not for the average consumer as its 3 times the price. You have to be earning good money to throw coin on purchasing an i3 and if your are earning good money then finding some more doesn't take forever.

Sport model hasn't arrived in New Zealand yet.

Once you get up into the i3 money it doesn't take much to throw another 50k into the pot. A black i3 was in town today and I still like the i3 design. I would never buy a Jaguar just throwing some discussions in. BMW is the only vehicles we purchase and we have 3 BMW Motor Sports in the garage.

480k battery is over the top for most. What is required is a 300k true range for trips to out of town favourite Sunday lunch stops Is EV batteries going to be larger versions of iPhone batteries which could degrade faster than we believe. Our fuel savings maybe eaten up with having to replace...

With the amount of long range battery Ev's being launched with great designs like the new Jaguar I Pace with a range of 480k who would pay the large dollars BMW requires for a very out of date BMW i3

M5 sound would be great at times but I do enjoy quite as well. When I do put my foot down the engine sound is better than BMW's 2lt.

Purchasing a Model 3 is going against the trend of sedans which are almost dead for new car buyers. What I'm waiting to appear is Jeeps Wrangler JL plug in next year. If it's any good their good be a spot in my garage replacing our 2 series convertible.

This is the same conclusion I came to after owing my 225xe for 20 months. There is no logic in buying a BEV as the extra purchase cost and charging hassles are more than solved by my 225xe. I can travel a distance non stop of 500k on a minimum of 50% battery (250k) and never have to stop to...

Tesla reveals 2017 financial results, records near $2B loss Good luck selling or servicing a Tesla if the company goes out of business. You would have to be finically illiterate to buy into Tesla cult hype.

Being able to accelerate fast and the wife doesn't realise as their's hardly no engine noise. :D I had a BMW loaner car for a couple of days last week and couldn't wait to take it back due to EV's have instant acceleration.

I like the way the driver or front passenger has to get out and open the rear doors as they can check if its safe for the children to get out before you open there doors.
