2014 BMW i3 consumer reviews

I bought this 15K miles base model (Electric engine only) for 10K. A steal. Pros: 3 Driving modes for different conditions. Free public ev charging stations, usually charges 26 miles per hour or more, and that means free rides. Easy connectivity Stylish look (people actually have that what heck is that look) Nice cargo space once back seats are down. Cons: Inconsistent mile range readings. Range anxiety. Original Charger is a joke. 40 miles highway travel takes 12+ to recharge. 2-3 miles per hour recovery. Bmw either thinks people will bleed 50k (originally) for a substitute car, or people will always have 12-16 hours time to move between errands. Doors design is unusual. Still not as ridiculous as a coupe door design. Cargo space is so tiny with backseats up. Carseats for infants are difficult to place without sacrificing significant space for either the driver or the front passenger. My final verdict. If you purchase a 24amp or a more capable charger than you can manage. If you're soccer mom, or switch your hats often, this base model may not be for you. Still, if you really really a planner it may work out beautifully. If you're purchasing this as second car for the family, then you can save tons in cost. If you spot a free ev charging station you can literally run your range to close to empty then leave it at the charging station and picked it up after couple of hours.

It was everything I expected. We love the styling and comfort. It's our everyday car now for around town. No gas usage. The car has entered of zip when needed. No maintenance needed. I bought a 6 year, 100k miles extended warranty with this car.

Great car. Handles like nothing I have ever driven. A lot of space inside..quiet and comfortable...quick...and no more paying for gas tinted windows are a plus

The car is an older version, so it doesn't have all of the new bells and whistles, but for a commuter car, it is perfect!

Love it. Love it. Love it. I'm selling this car and buying a newer longer-range model. I highly recommend buying one if you have a daily commute. This car will make it fun.

Bought used 2014 i3 REx for 14k with 50k miles in it. Meets all our daily needs. Battery operated - quiet operation. Built-in generator with 1.5 gallon gas tank - so never get stranded. 140 mile range (70 battery +70 gas generator) - never needed more for daily needs (for out of town travel we have an suv). Surprising leg room in front (car looks small). Maintenance is half the cost of a regular car.

This car exceeds my expectations! Its a great everyday car becasue of all the gas you save. Very comfartable and the stability you get is amazing.

Love the design, the technology, the materials used, the handling, the great pick-up, this little car move and it move fast. It's also very nimble with all the weight of the battery under the vehicle.

retail price is pretty bad however aftermarket prices are very very good for what the car is getting a 50k car for 15 is perfect

Great electric car has ample room beautiful inside and out very pleased with the handling and the speed has all the Tech equipment and the computer screen is large and easy to operate
