Description

This low mileage, 2 owner 2018 BMW i3 125kW 33kWh stands as a testament to how early BMW grasped the future of electric mobility, and delivered it with typical Bavarian flair. Where many EVs at the time felt like modified versions of combustion cars, the i3 was engineered from the ground up as a pure electric vehicle, and it shows in every detail. Powered by a lively 125kW electric motor (equivalent to around 170bhp), the i3 is genuinely quick off the mark, helped by its lightweight carbon-fibre reinforced plastic structure. Around town, it feels effortlessly nimble, darting through traffic with a cheeky sense of urgency, yet it settles down beautifully on open roads thanks to its beautifully balanced chassis and instant torque delivery. The 33kWh battery might seem modest by today's standards, but it delivers a real-world range that's still perfectly usable for most daily drives, and does so with a level of refinement many newer EVs still struggle to match. Inside, the i3 is just as forward-thinking, with a minimalist yet premium cabin crafted from sustainable materials like eucalyptus wood and recycled plastics. It feels airy and spacious, with a typically German attention to detail and quality. The iDrive system remains one of the most intuitive on the market, and the driving position, combined with the expansive glasshouse, makes every journey feel relaxed and confident. The i3 isn't just a car, it?s a statement. A bold piece of engineering that remains distinctive, desirable, and ahead of its time even years after launch. It's no wonder it still holds a special place in the hearts of electric car enthusiasts.
