Just assumed the lease of a Melbourne Red 2018 i3s Rex. Pics inside

So a few months ago I couldn't sleep and was browsing the member vehicle classified ads for an M3 lease assumption when I stumbled upon this beauty. It is a $55k + MSRP with only a $129 per month lease payment. I honestly couldn't pass up this opportunity. Took BMW FS 7 weeks to complete the assumption but when it was completed I shipped this car from LA --> NY and now it's mine. And I gotta say what a super fun car this is to drive. It is a perfect little commuter car with plenty of pep and great ride. It has all the features I would want (comfort access, carplay, LEDs) so I couldn't be more pleased! And now for the pics of course:

How’s the cabin noise in the i3? I’m somewhat sensitive to that.

Also, curious how your insurance is on the i3 vs your other cars. I have solar on my house in Vegas so an i3 makes sense for around town errands, saving the x3M40i for trips. The 330gt lease ends in 10 months so time to start looking for a replacement. I’m retiring in July so I won’t need two long distance cruisers.

Thanks! It is crazy. I would've been crazy NOT to assume it!

Haha! Sadly the lease is up this summer. I actually may extend it a couple of months since it is too fun to give up for the price!

No abnormal or annoying cabin noise to deal with. It's comically quiet actually. And my insurance is only about $200 less per year than my RS5. Not the best deal actually.

Thank you so much! Couldn't agree more!
