The i3 has been in development for awhile. In reality, it should be much more reliable than most new cars - an electric motor and batteries is pretty straight-forward.
It is a special use vehicle. The 3-series is a much less focused use car. Depends really on what you expect out of it, but my bet is that the i3 won't have major generic hiccups. They've designed the CFRP frame with breakaway seams that can be repaired and given field personnel training on how to fix one. You probably will not be able to get one repaired outside of the BMW network in the near-term unless it's just a scratched panel.
