Very comfortable ride and beautiful.
I have had no issues aside from having trouble finding a car seat that fit for my daughter. It is great on gas, very comfortable even for long periods of time, and the dial to operate the screen is very user friendly. My favorite part is the CarPlay that connects to my iPhone.

Love the amazing seat warmers!
I love my BMW i3. It runs super smooth on the road, and you can conserve energy very well. Inside, there are many radio options. My favorite part is the seat warmers. After a long, cold day I love putting my seat warmer at full heat and warming up my tush. As a passenger I definitely recommend this car.

BMW is nice, I would definitely get it again I love the way it drives.
The BMW is a great vehicle. It is a known and trusted prestigious brand made with quality parts. It is a little bit more expensive to get fixed but you rarely have as many problems. I would definitely buy BMW again it is all around good for everything I have the SUV.

A wonderful driving experience!
My vehicle is reliable, sporty, and a joy to drive. It gets very good gas mileage and handles beautifully. I am especially pleased with how my vehicle handles in the snow. My vehicle has strong pick-up which allows it to accelerate smoothly and consistently.

The best car brand is BMW. Do not think twice when car shopping.
My car is the best investment I ever made. I love it so much. I bought it for my 24th birthday. It runs smoothly and has not given me any issues. The engine is great. The mileage on my car is great. I would not trade my car for anything in this world.

Vehicle review: an amazing sound designed vehicle.
It is okay, has good wheels and steering, good speed. I really enjoy taking my vehicle on long drives as the sound functions are amazing. However, the sound does not determine how great of a vehicle it is as it is not a great one. I would recommend this to someone who is on a small(ish) budget.

It is good car. I loved it. I also tell all of my friend for buy this car.
It is good. I love this car and my wife also.BMW i3 is one of the most compelling electric vehicles you can buy, primarily used. Over the years, the BMW i3 has earned above-average reliability ratings and good safety scores too. The 2017 i3 is one of the better model years to buy used because of its performance and practicality.

The best luxury car I have used ever.
My vehicle is a BMW which is made in 2018. It is a prestigious or luxury car. I spend more time on online search before I have bought it. The car is relate to me and I obviously love the car. The car fulfill my demands and its reliability is awesome at one word. If anyone wants to buy a prestigious or a luxury car I think it would be best option for then.

The 2020 BMW i3 boasts quick acceleration, roomy front seats, and intuitive tech.
The 2020 BMW i3 boasts quick acceleration, roomy front seats, and intuitive tech. That said, it has a short driving range for an electric vehicle, and its tight rear seats and awkward rear doors limit its practicality. The i3 places in the bottom of our luxury hybrid and electric car rankings. For pros: quick acceleration. Spacious front row of seats. User-friendly technology. For cons. Below-average driving range. Rivals feel more composed on the highway. Not much rear-seat legroom. Awkward rear doors.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Yangchen D.

It is very comfortable to drive. It looks very good. The reverse camera is very good. BMW comes with great service package like free oil change for few years. It drives very smoothly and is fast at the same time.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Yangchen D.

There are not many cons for the vehicle. I usually like touch screen but BMW has a circular knob for the control panel which I do not like as much. You can get radio but no internet radio like tesla's. The tires are run flat and hard to find in many tire stores.
