2018 BMW i3 Electric 170 BHP from Germany
Summary:
Small city wonder - not for families with big kids
Faults:
Nothing.
General Comments:
We have a charger in our parking spot under the building and mostly drive in the city so this car is perfect. This is the latest model with the extended range which can get you up to 250km of range (when it's not below 8 degrees Celsius).
We have young teenagers and it's not that great in the back and the funky doors are sometimes tricky to get out of and close.
Driving is much fun and everything works great; love the BMW functionality and quality. Will write updates as she ages with us.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

This weird design is a good example of the issues with big heavily bureaucratic companies. Either they don't want to take chances, or they take too many chances. They thought they should make something completely out of ordinary just because it's an EV. And the sales failed compared to the competition. Not saying unusual cars cannot be successful, but the I3 is just too unusual and un-user friendly. Lots of money thrown into research, overly complex design, rare ($$$) tire size... range is not everything.
