The i3 has been a loyal daily driver to compliment my F80 M3 for quite some time now. I've sat in a Volt, a Bolt, an eGolf... they aren't bad, but they don't treat the driver to the same experience as an i3 with the Giga World interior. Is it a rocket like my F80? No, but the instant torque makes it quicker to 30, and in the city that's where it counts. Let me make this clear: I was a doubter too, but the i3 is an absolute pleasure to drive.
Keep in mind that the lease in question is for a 2017 model. Those are all but gone, but when the 2018's showed up, deals were to be had. I'm an opportunist, I got a killer deal on a $50k i3 last year, and if you were lucky enough to get this low a payment on the only consumer level car with a carbon fiber chassis then let me shake your hand. If, however, you are one of these who scoff at this kind of deal on a very pleasurable driving experience, then salute! Ignorance is bliss! Forget the environment: I'm not paying for gas, I drive in the carpool, my monthly is the price of a nice dinner, and my 40 mile commute is an absolute pleasure. Clueless.

For me the linear acceleration and the one pedal driving is the most pleasing aspect. It provides an extremely relaxed driving comfort that no conventional car can offer. It is the perfect futuristic counterpart to my old school Z3 3.0. Both are pure and reduced but so much fun to drive |

Bloomberg is turning into a tabloid... Deals can be had on i3's in mid-$2xx range, a little highers for REX's. The car is a great commuter ride, and gas savings pay for the cost of lease payment (in my case). How do you say "no" to a "free" car? YMMV, a

The deal had $13,000 in incentives after negotiated MSRP which was already down to $43,200. Here's my calculation, which comes out to $52/mo http://leasehackr.com/calculator?mak...es=12000&msd=0

1). Sales price, magically, is below Invoice, by about $3K. Good luck with that, or add $+125/month. 2). Zero (0) dealer profit. Good luck with that. 3). Need to add doc, title, and finance fees, which the source sited as $1,731. It's actually $1,753 if you sum up all the times listed, so add another +$73/month. 4). $13K in incentives is includes a super-set of MY'17-only and MY'18-only credits: $7.5K Federal pass-through (legit, all years)Any monthly payment can be made sufficiently close to $0.00, when you start prepaying for something upfront. Generally, that is an undesirable approach, as getting the car written off as an insurance loss, will also write-off the non-refundable down-payment. YYMV, a

You're not going to find anything for that cheap right now. There are no deals on the 2018s currently.
