They notice. They just try too hard to be cool to show any reaction. But behind their Ray-Bans, their eyes wander ...

This is the genius of BMWi there is nothing else on the market like in terms of pure visual appeal. It and the i3 are cars for the future but are in the present.
The next generation of BMWi models will continue to turn heads when everyone else relies on simple cost effective electrification.
No one is even close.

👍👍

Looking forward to it! My i3 catches a lot of attention in Memphis, not near as much as that though!

We need to replace our CRV, hope that if the i5 isn't very SAV like that an iSAV is in the pipeline.
