What Car? long-term test: i3 REX
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Just thought I'd say hello and introduce myself. I'm the editor of What Car? and for the bulk of this year we're going to be running an i3 range-extender on our fleet of long-term test vehicles. And it's going to end up spending the bulk of its time on my driveway, I suspect. Our car is one of the original BMW UK launch vehicles, which means that a) it already has around 2500 miles on the clock and b) it's loaded with quite a few more options than we might have gone for if we'd been speccing it ourselves. It's Laurus Grey with 19in 428 Turbine alloys and Loft Interior: Here are the other options: 19" BMW i bicolour light alloy wheels turbine styling 428 with mixed tyres - £680.00 Adaptive LED headlights - £710.00 BMW Professional Navigation - No cost Comfort Access - £330.00 DC Rapid Charge preparation - £560.00 Driving Assistant Plus - £790.00 Electric Glass Sunroof - £780.00 Enhanced Bluetooth telephone with USB - £430.00 Information Plus - £215.00 Laurus Grey metallic - £530.00 Loudspeaker System - Harman Kardon - £640.00 Traffic Jam Assist - No cost Interior World Loft comprising - £1,000.00 Multi-function steering wheel, Pearl with contrast white accent Interior Trim: Grained foil finish Velour floor mats, Carum Grey Park Assist Package comprising - £790.00 Reversing Assist Camera Park Distance Control Park Assist Winter Package comprising - £260.00 Seat heating for front driver and passenger seats Pre-heating of HV battery with Active air flap control Total list price of our car, including delivery/registration fees, is £41,545. Interested to hear from other owners, including what you thought of the dealer handover and how you're getting on with public charging points (does anyone actually use these?!). And if it's allowed here (?!), I may post the occasional link to our updates; we'll have them on a weekly basis at our site, starting from this Friday. Interested to hear your thoughts, Kind regards to all, John |

Excellent, looking forward to your updates. That's similar to my order (Laurus REx with every option) except I have the 20" Sport wheels and the Suite interior (Called Tera World in the US). I should be taking delivery in about 7 weeks.

Please keep us updated John! I love watching Whatcar review videos even though they always recommend diesel spec models we don't get across the pond.
