Price Slashed!
This car is garaged in San Francisco; call in advance to see it. This low-mile EV with a cult following is a two-owner with no accident history. The mileage has been primarily highway miles from San Francisco to Mountain View most week days. The Range Extender doubles the range to about 150-160 miles. Available at our wholesale cost is a 5 year/100,000 additional mile powertrain warranty for $1,900 - which is about half what others charge for the same coverage. The condition is excellent, with only these flaws: driver side front quarter panel minor scrape, and a small ding on the driver side mirror.
The i3 is one of the most innovative vehicles on the road, yet it still adheres to the fundamentals of the BMW brand: rear-wheel drive, responsive handling, a composed ride and energetic performance. What is beneath the surface is nothing short of extraordinary. The mechanical undercarriage and battery housing are constructed of lightweight aluminum, while the upper body structure is carbon fiber, which is of course the same ultra-lightweight and ultra-stiff stuff that racecars and other really expensive things are made out of. This keeps the i3's weight down by hundreds of pounds compared to other electric cars, which means a smaller battery is required, less energy is consumed and your electricity bill will be lower.
Acceleration is provided by a 170-horsepower electric motor that drives the rear wheels. The lightweight construction and innovative packaging also aids performance and interior space. Not only is the i3 the quickest pure electric vehicle tested other than the Tesla Model S, but its low center of gravity and ideal 50/50 weight balance means that, when combined with the car's wide stance and BMW-tuned suspension, this is one of the most fun-to-drive electric cars on the market.
The i3's battery has an estimated 15-year lifespan (longer than most people own a single car). For city dwellers interested in buying an electric vehicle, this BMW i3 should make a compelling and spirited choice. We offer it at $11,100 - enhanced by the optional extended warranty at about half what others charge for the same coverage.
