Reverse Engineering I3 Video

[Rickb]

The BMW i3 & i8 brings quite a lot to the EV auto market..........just not everbody's preferance in vehicles and or price point. I appreciate the design and engineering none the less and am going to test drive one soon.

i like the i8 of the two having the bank id get the i8. I think overall I would still buy a Tesla over either.

I would not buy an I3 simply because of the "cool" factor. It looks like any other car on the road regardless how it is built.

But, on the other hand, consider the Elio. Nothing on the road looks like an Elio.

It has a high cool index.

I'm in agreement regarding the i-8. I may prefer the BMW over the Tesla simply because of BMW's more expansive sales and servicing network. I'm eager to see the production 2017 Tesla Gen3 for comparison.

The i3's dash is cooler than the Elio's in my opinion and there is no gas cap issue to stress over. LOL

you can buy a used i3 for 33k now, and a used spark ev for 16500.
