Will it get M-sport paket, like everyone else Bmw models? |
No M-Sport will be available for the i3 but it will be offered in specific lines.
The i3 is RWD biased and indeed the car is fun to drive and what is really interesting is you can feel the agility which brings in the fun factor its not a performance car but it is a BMW. I have one just now , a more advanced final prototype but it is certainly fulfilling its expectations.
Whilst it takes its looks form the concept it has to perform in the real world , so emphasis is put on packaging and crash safety.
With the i3 many aspects of the concept are very much interpreted for production, including frameless windows , rear hinged doors and the razor thin CFRP seats. Interior options can also mimic the concepts in the same blue and white sci-fi finish.
That question people have always asked about the BMWi cars is " Can electric mobility offer Sheer Driving Pleasure? That answer is yes.

looks like the design allows for large wheels 20 inch?? Rex version looks clever with 200 + mile range?? Some of the technology looks good with standard advanced nav and nice integration with iphone? seem to recall reading charging will be far faster than a Leaf for example? I drove an Active E recently and hardly needed to use the brakes as soon as you take foot off accelerator the regeneration effect for battery acts as brake. Soon got the hang of it. Low centre of gravity seemed to ensure good handling and it was quick.
Some of early motoring press reviews seem very encouraging that BMW values have been retained.
