ok...i'm not sure how to respond to this...what little interest i had in this car has been washed away.

i sincerely wish BMW fail with i3 and figure out how to provide electronic seat controls that can do less damage to the mileage in a "luxury", "premium" and "contemporary" car.
I don't know. I mean, how often does one change their seat once they have found their desired position? And I don't think this car will be one that is constantly shared. Seems to me that it will be driven by one person most of the time (a hunch). My last BMW had electronic seats, and although it was a nice convenience, it didn't mean much to me cause I set it and forget it. I doubt this will be a deal breaker for the sub 40k electric Bimmer.
