Two years later we now have the 300km range i3.
2 more years into the future a i3 LCI with the range of the Bolt (Ampera in EU) comes along. I'd say i3 have done what it's supposed to, it's a city car, not a full blown sized car, meant to drive long distances.
Been driving the i3 myself, and i've tested alot of cars, non have suprised me more so than the i3 itself. going back to diesel/petrol after testing it, feels going back 20 years, i is the future of BMW.
And yes, i'm going to buy one for myself as well.
