BMW i3 advice please

[jedi-knight83]

My father in law has just put a deposit on a 1yr old 34 mile.. yes just 34 miles! i3. No range extender. £19k

I know nothing about these cars!

Its a private purchase.. not through a business.

Is it a really bad idea?

Dont see why? What sort of trips,does he do?

Wifeys getting one later on this year

 

[jedi-knight83]

Mainly for my mother in law around town, school run etc. They will hire a bigger car for weekends away to Cotswolds etc.

I see a new one is coming out this year but I guess at £19k it's not a bad deal for basically a new car.

Labrit had one and said categorically it was the worst car he ever experienced ?

Ask Maxine over on the other channel. She has, or had, an i3

Think that was i8 mate.

PM Shimmy....he just picked one up

I've got a 2014 REX and love it. The non REX would not work for us but they are a brilliant little car.
I bought mine when it was a year old and it had shat 50% of it's value - An intelligence test if you ask me.
Push for them to give you the 5 year service pack if it's not got it already but we're up to 7k miles in ours and totally faultless.
If you're trapping on it's a little under sprung and under damped but I am being picky here

Oh dear , you are correct . It's the Supercar looking one he hated

How is that possible, you'd be in the sea well before you could run out of battery power....?
