I'm new to this forum, even though I had read a lot of posts before purchasing our 2015 BEV. We bought at the end of December and received delivery by flatbed truck in January. Have been driving for 3 months now and put on just under 3000 km (urban only). Can't get enough of driving it and it's hard going back to driving our other gas vehicle. We had a real concern about purchasing given our location (interior BC) with the nearest service centre about 350 km away in Vancouver. I think we could drive there given the spacing of charging stations along the way, but it might take a couple days (and some nervous times because of the elevation changes). Despite this, we wanted the BEV model. I'm sure we have the only i3 in our city, which is about 90,000 population. Maybe it's folly, but it feels so good driving it, that I'm prepared to take the risk. A flatbed is always an option and I understand that BMW Assist would probably come to the rescue if we ran out of charge. Only problem so far was a minor mishap in a parking lot when someone backed into us. Bumper scratches only, but we were upset to see our new car with damage. Look forward to being part of this forum.
