Still a BMW, but in disguise!

The i3 is a very economical vehicle and has lots of features. You can buy used i3’s for $10,000-$15,000 now as they have heavily depreciated. The car is very inexpensive to drive and is very fun to drive as well. The turning radius is excellent as it is a city car, but it still drives like a BMW.

It is good for the environment, and a smart choice

It handles great, is fun to drive. I get compliments on it from time to time. It looks great, is comfortable

BMW i3: it is a great electric car, but it has some bumpy problems.

The BMW i3 is a great car that you can charge. It is eco-friendly. If you car ever runs out of electricity, it automatically switches to using gas for your to finish your drive. It is also very quick to accelerate speed with. However, the mileage is quite low and also opening/closing the door may be quite awkward.

The vehicle can switch between eco, standard or sport modes.

The performance is awesome. Great handling with fast acceleration and braking. The x drive also offers comfort and touchless station changes. The specs offer great details about the cars performance also. The car has built in security system with a sunroof. The seats can remember up to 3 drivers by a touch of the button.

2015 bmw i3 range extender range with 150 total mile range.

Great performance, comfort and style. For its price and category, this is the electric vehicle to buy, and I would buy the BMW i3 again.

While it is an electric car there is a gas tank that holds 2 gallons of gas. This will help prolong trips that are longer than the electric charge will take you.

I love that it is quiet. There is more room inside then you expect and I can stretch my legs out. I also love that it is electric so we very rarely have to put any gas into it. I wish that it would charger faster and it was easier to find charging stations.

Interesting word of my car its amazing and design awesome driving so fast.

My car model is BMW i3 series. I love my car and it is super. When I drive feel so relax and it go so past. This car speed is awesome. Overall performance good. Breaking system is cool and hard work past. This car sound is good and design also better than my previous car. So I think is best choice.

Extremely low cost to drive

It's a perfect city car. Very low cost to drive low on emissions. I just wish that the range was more than 80 miles. Noise on the highway at times is unbearable

The car has a lot of space.

The vehicle is fine, and very reliable. The car is very comfortable. And the features are great. The only thing I would change is the color of the car. The brakes do not work as well. The car drives very well though. I would recommend it to the next buyer.

BMW 2015 i3 - great small car.

My car provides everything I need during the time being. It is not the best looking car, but it is reliable and has never given me problems so far. It is a small car but it is perfect for myself and one other person. It is comfortable and easy to maneuver, control, and park. Its interior is also very luxurious and comfortable.

My car is a classic black and white BMW.

It's very comfortable and I love driving it all over the place. I have a great range extender that helps charge the battery, and it is a great addition to the car. It has great range as well, up to a charge of 70 miles. There are multiple modes for the car and you can use a more ecologically friendly mode.

Brooke E on June 1, 2021

Surprisingly spacious inside.

The car is great overall, very spacious for what looks to be a small car on the outside. The visibility on all sides from the inside is impressive and a great safety feature. The only complaint is the short range, it makes it difficult to use for more than short intercity trips.
