It is color. I have a orange vehicle.

Great performance handling, only problem is the low profile tire are notorious for deflating and getting flat when hitting street bumps other than that it is great. It runs well, spacious. Great on battery and gas. Only thing I would change is to allow sheets to adjust back further.

BMW i3's are very affordable ... If you buy them used.

The BMW i3 is awesome. It's an electric car with style and drives like, well, a BMW. People said to me 'Why didn't you get a Chevy Bolt?" I said 'Because then I'd be driving a Chevy.'

My family also likes it quite a bit. The service of the car is very good.

I have received very good service since I bought the car. In fact, there were no major problems other than small problems such as tire leakage, change of mobile. That is why I like the car very much. My family also likes it quite a bit. The service of the car is very good. But I am modern all the time. That is why we can buy a new car at any time.

Exceptional performance!!

I enjoy everything about the car with the exception of not having cooling seats. The cars performance is exceptional. The leather seats are very comfortable and the ability to drop down the rear seats helps when you have large things that will not fit in the trunk otherwise.

Lovely, unique stylish, great performance.

It is performing very well. It is comfortable and look beautiful, quick acceleration and intuitive tech. Has roomy front seat. It is fun to drive, handle well and stylish. I think it is the heart of luxury cars. It is looks unique inside and outside.I love it and enjoy it.

The amazing experience that I had with the car BMW.

The performance of the vehicle is really outstanding and great. Personally from my experience,I love how smooth the ride is. As for comfort and the features of the car is the best that I have ever seen and the features are so cool and I love relying on the GPS to get me to my locations.

Save about 15 or 20 minutes a week buy an electric car.

Not enough range. I live 20 miles from town and going home means going up a mountain so sometimes it is close! I need a backup gas engine for those times. The charging stations just aren't there. Sometimes if they are the Tesla plugs don't fit my car. I love the fact that I don't have to waste 15 to 20 minutes in gas stations twice a week. The anxiety of dealing makes it not worth the purchase.
