Starting to do the research for my next car and want to seriously look at the i3 and see if it's a good solution for me.
I live in Central Park and commute about 20000 miles to work a year.
Currently drive an E90 328 and get about 28 mpg.
Commute is around 66 miles so in winter realise this will be at the edge of battery use. I have 2 miles each end normal roads on my journey with the remainder being highway.
This drive would mean I'm exhausting my battery every day. Will this reduce the length of the life of my battery range.
I believe I would need a type 2 charger at home.
There aren't many chargers in the area but are just now starting to pop up.
Am I too early for this transition and am I asking too much if the i3.
My other choice is the 328d.
The i3 I am looking at is 2015 REX.
I know on paper this works. But any feedback greatly appreciated.
