About how era of environmental friendly cars. Honestly nothing beats a gas guzzling engine. Like ones found in some of those high end exotics.
But it cant go on forever. Lucky to be part of the experiment. And my kids will be the generation that grows up with electric. |

Not to sound rude, but I don't like it when detailed and amazing photography is done for changes that only amount to a few painted reflectors, lowering springs, and wheels.
If you are going to showcase something, you have to put some more custom touches that really show there was some serious craftsmanship and mechanical work done. That being said, I have seen a lot of other cars by IND that were aaammmaaaazziinnngggg! For example the green e92 M3! Once you have that level of work done to a car, then its worth showing |

Second link was to lighten up the discussion pertaining to the underlying issues resulting from this thread. Pardon my recalcitrance, narrow mindedness and inability to convey these subtle ideas effectively. I should have taken a more linear minded approach towards this thread as you called for. |

i3 haters need to call your local dealers and schedule an extended test drive, the car just GROWS on you. I picked one up 24 days ago and probably day 6 or 7 I decided its electric for me from here on out.
I don't much care for the wheels offered on the i3 but I hope people buy them and more options are made available. Just to note, those are not fog-lights on the i3, those are the high-beam headlamps. IND's description says "Gloss black foglight surrounds."

Love the aftermarket wheels for the i3 and i8. I'm personally not a huge fan of the looks of either car but for those who are it's nice to know that there are wheel options since OEM wheels are pretty limited and imho, ugly across the entire brand.

Saw this i3 at bimmerfest, I think it looks pretty good, it really shows off the electric blue.

Putting mods on an i car is like going to a kosher restaurant and ordering a ham and cheese. It goes against the entire point.

Saw these today at bimmerfest. The i8 looks awesome and in person I could walk around it and see the blue in the wheels.
The i3 looks dope too. I love to personalize my cars and it I had an I i3 - I would mod it. I wouldn't try and turn it into a performance vehicle but I wouldn't cry if my personalization cost me a few mpg. |

BMW understood much better what to do on wheels with this model range. they are aerodynamic, contribute to less fuel consumption etc. Some very awesome interpretation to 80s dustbin cover style rims would have been a lot nicer for this car IMHO, not your boilerplate BBS/Racing style rims that work alright on standard BMWs.
The car has a great reception. It is only natural anyone in the business wants its success rub off on its own business.

I'm surprised, then, that the modified and lowered i8 you drive hard has not had any front end problems. Thank you for setting me straight.
