Selling my brilliant litte BMW i3. I bought this car from BMW in Worcester with a full service history. This car has been flawless, amazing to drive and cheap to run. I'm on Octopus Intelligent Energy and I charge it for 7p/KwH overnight so it costs 2.80 for a full charge. I'm changing it for a camper van and I will be sad to see it go. The car is in very good condition, I've just had new tyres put on it all round.
It's extremely maneuverable round town with an amazing turning circle. It gets lots of looks from people and is in a striking colour with 20 inch wheels. The paint is excellent all round. The only blemishes are a tiny scratch on the bonnet and some where you load stuff into the boot.
It comes with a normal 3 pin charger. The range is about 180 miles in the warmer months and around 140 when it's cold. The regen breaking is amazing and I hardly ever use the brakes as you get used to judging stopping distances at lights etc. It has a Harmon Kardon sound system which is top notch, built in SatNav and the the Pro Package (wider screen etc.)
The car has climate control and the air con is nice and cold, heated seats, folding electric door mirrors, parking sensors and voice activated commands (I can say "navigation to Birmingham" and it will plan a route on the SatNav without touching anything).
BMW provide an 8 year manufacturers' warranty on the battery for peace of mind but there are 2010 i3s knocking around on the same battery so they are pretty bullet proof. The car has cruise control, auto lights and wipers and sits nicely at 70 MPH but I use it mainly round town and for short trips.
This was my first electric car and as soon as I drove it I was sold. As long as you plan journeys and take advantage of the charging apps (I use Octopus's Electroverse) which gives you discounted rates on most major charging providers, my journeys are pretty stress free. The car is located in Coventry, any questions, please feel free to contact me.
