Good city car with a reasonable amount of room for the price Jun 13, 2023

This car as a used vehicle is perhaps the best deal out there. Fit and finish like a luxury car, amazing handling and comfortable ride. Additionally, the BMW i3 is surprisingly large inside for how compact it is. Range could be better, but with the REx option the car is totally usable, even for the occasional road trip. We have owned three of them so far, and I know multiple people who have also owned more than one. That says it all…May 09, 2023

33kwh seems like the sweet spot for range. The vehicle is a technological marvel. Grab one while you canJul 30, 2022
