Facelift is fine, a marginal improvement in looks.
The "s" model is also a good idea, though I will have to wait to drive it to evaluate its value proposition.
The trouble for i3 is that that the EV market has zoomed past the $45+K i3.
We now live in the world of fully functional $35K EVs with 200+ mile ranges. Bolt and Model 3 are here, Leaf v2 is coming the next month.
Nissan dropped the price on Leaf v2 to $30K, and increased the range to 150+ miles.
BMW raised the price on the i3 every time it made an improvement!
What used to be daring and cool, is fast becoming stale and over-priced.
A minor face-lift is not enough to change the above conclusion.
