Why do you still come to this website and even post anymore? You never say anything good other than to say how bad it is?
I guess some people get off on trolling.
Unfortunately, trolls are the cost of hanging out on these forums.

I find it kinda amusing that the dude is bragging about his 225xe, the front-wheel drive abortion of BMWs.


Even BMW is too ashamed to call it a car.
In all BMW literature, 225xe is referred to as an "MPV". Otherwise knows a mini-mini-VAN, or a rebadged and crumpled MINI Countryman.

So in total with dealer discounts and government discounts and the discount from the customers choice option, I will have bought my 2014 i3 NEW! For around $22k dollars.
That's a steal (aka Honda Civic money).

Frankly, BMW's aggressive pricing is how I found myself in an i3.

I was looking at EVs, but had no particular allegiance or preference for an i3. In fact, I was close to getting an e-Golf, until I ran the #s, and the monthly lease payments on an i3 were ~1/2 of that for an e-Golf.

Totally ! I feel bad as the investment they made is not fully holding up as the sales are not all that strong but for me it worked out well getting an amazing car for an amazing price.


Plus at least for me anyway it's kind of nice as when I see another i3 it's kind of Special as you don't see them every day, tesla on the other hand are like Honda civics around here you see them everywhere so it's just another car and looses some of its magic when you see them all the time.
