The BMW i3 comes with a fully-electric powertrain. But as it’s been on the market for almost a decade, there are numerous options to choose from.
Early models had a 22.6 kWh battery pack and an 80-mile range. The bigger 33 kWh pack came in 2017, offering a range of up to 100 miles on a full charge and in 2018, the BMW i3 was launched with a range of up to 190 miles.
The battery can be charged to 80% within 42 minutes at a fast charging station. Models from 2019 deliver a speedy acceleration, reaching 0-62 mph in just 7.3 seconds, which is impressive for such a small everyday model.
A range-extender version of the i3 was also available from launch but discontinued in 2017 when the larger battery was introduced. This had a two-cylinder petrol engine that acted as a generator when the battery was depleted, allowing for better range.
As a small, agile city car with plenty of get-up-and-go, a used BMW i3 is perfect for popping to the shops or darting around town. It can weave in and out of traffic with ease and if charged using off-peak electricity charges, running costs will be considerably lowered.
The higher-powered i3s also has an impressive range of around 112 miles. It’s a relatively cheap car to insure too, with the most i3 models falling into group 21 out of 50. Larger battery options can raise the insurance group to around 27.
Its cabin is remarkably spacious with plenty of head and legroom for all. The i3 is also a strict four-seater, with no seatbelt in the middle, so the two rear passengers won’t feel too close to one another. There are plenty of storage areas and cubby holes throughout the cabin and the boot offers 260 litres of space with the seats up. The rear seats also split in half allowing you to extend the boot while carrying two passengers. With the rear seats folded, the boot space expands to a more impressive 1,100 litres.
The electric i3 offers drivers a futuristic driving experience that was particularly revolutionary when it first launched. While some BMW features are familiar, the i3 gets i3-unique instrumentation.
This includes a tablet-like screen which takes the place of instruments behind the leather steering wheel. The drive selector is also extremely intuitive and easy to reach. Standard i3 features include satellite navigation, heated front seats, rear parking sensors, climate control, a digital radio, a USB socket, Bluetooth and automatic lights and wipers.
As for safety, BMW never skips a beat. The i3 is loaded with an impressive safety kit and driver-assist systems for your peace of mind. All i3 models come with six airbags, Electronic Stability Control and a seatbelt reminder. Driver Assistant Plus also adds Cruise Control, a Forward Collision Warning, Preventative Pedestrian Protection, a Lane Departure Warning, Speed Limit Information, Traffic Jam Assist and a Route Ahead Assistant.
The BMW i3 was first introduced in 2013 and was a flagship model for many reasons. Firstly, it was the first BMW with an electric motor. It was also the first mass-produced vehicle ever to have a carbon fibre-reinforced plastic passenger cabin. While launched with a range of just 80 miles, this was soon extended thanks to new and improved battery packs. The 2017 model, for example, came with a new 33kWh battery. The battery pack capacity was increased by more than 50% without changes in exterior dimensions.
The exterior of the i3 was refreshed in 2018. It received a new front bumper, horizontal turn-signal light openings and standard LED headlights. The i3s was also added to the 2018 model year. This sporty model featured increased power and torque, lowered sports suspension, double-spoke wheels and tyres, a wider stance, faster acceleration and a SPORT drive mode. The i3 remains a popular electric city car today.
There are many i3 models on the market. Here’s a rundown of each:
When buying an electric city car from Group 1 BMW, it’s our job to put your mind at ease. All our Approved Used i3 models come with a full MOT, history check, breakdown cover and one-year unlimited mileage BMW warranty. We only source the best electric cars on the market. Nevertheless, here are some things to look out for.
Always take the i3 of your choice for a spin. Make sure the steering is not heavy or noisy. Banging noises could indicate a problem with the power steering rack. Driving should feel smooth and easy.
Inspect all general controls. From keyless locking to electric windows and infotainment systems, be sure that everything works as it should before driving away.
Not all tyres are the same. When buying a BMW, look for Run Flats. These will guide you to safety if you get a puncture and are the top choice for most drivers. Tyres should also be legal and in good condition with a minimum tread depth of 1.6mm.
Accidental damage can and does happen. So, check your chosen BMW i3 carefully to make sure it’s in tip-top condition. This is particularly important for lease arrangements. Wear and tear is accounted for, but it’s important to document any damage from the start.
Our Approved Used benefits are plentiful. Firstly, you’ll get a car that’s been fully safety, history and performance checked. We’ll also throw in one year’s BMW warranty and plenty of other extras for your peace of mind.
If you want to get behind the wheel of a nifty little city runner with a zero-emissions powertrain, you can, thanks to our bespoke finance packages. Enjoy affordable monthly payments and transparent terms and conditions from the start.
