BMW i3 (I01)

Production Years: 2013 - 2022

The i3 was a radical departure for BMW, featuring a carbon-fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) cell and an aluminium chassis. In the UK, it has a dedicated following. Buyers should choose between the pure BEV or the REx (Range Extender) model, which adds a small petrol engine for peace of mind but also more maintenance requirements.
