Interesting you say that because I was told the i3 has a lower center of gravity than a 3-Series. I guess the M# is even lower than a regular 3-Series though. Where did you get the exact figures for the CoG to compare them if you don't mind?

I think many people expect it will not have a low CoG because it's a relatively tall, boxy car. But they don't realize the heaviest part of the car, the battery pack it at and even a little below the axle line. The top of the car is all CFRP and plastic.
