BMW i3 Acceleration 0-60mph

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Here is a video of a 0-60mph run. (2nd part of video). You can see from the time the power bar moves, till you see 59mph flash, it seems to be 7 seconds flat, or quicker.

Should have turned the darn radio off, because the electric motor is kind of cool sounding.





Also, here is a better picture of what it looks like inside of the battery pack:

It's a really smooth power delivery. With a single forward gear and flat torque, it's just so linear. I only got up to about 63 mph on a test drive, but it's more than ample performance for a city car.

Yes, I really enjoyed driving the car. Came back to test drive it on 2 seperate days.

I wish the back end was a little less choppy looking.
Is there some one here that could photo shop the rear end with a smoother black insert in the license plate valance area?

Here's my simple attempt. I think there is some simple way to improve on the factory color scheme.
