A Revelation if this is your first EV

I found the car by chance as my wife has always liked the I3 when saw one in London when they first came out.
I remember peering through the windows and was amazed by the interior space and its freaky design but dismissed as a bit of a freak, which it was at the time, roll forward 10yrs and it blows me away how relevant it still is which is a testament to the BMW design team.
Spec,
Suite Interior (leather with the dark oak)
Large screen with lifetime connected services
Comfort Access
Harmon Cardon upgraded sound system
CCS Charging,
20" diamond cut alloys
I have managed a 140mile trip in it with 1% left, but my normal commute is 50 miles max.a week approx. cost £2.20 a week with free road tax.

Off the mark its like a scolded cat only negative is firm ride "drive before you buy" as this could be a deal breaker but on smooth services it whisper quiet.
I hope to keep this car for many years its that good!
