  Great update for 2017 - 2017 BMW i3
  By CK - June 16 - 6:24 pm

  While I think some more tweaks are needed to set the car apart, overall this is a great car. Its my second electric (previously had a Leaf) and the Bimmer is an exceptional commuter. No range anxiety with this especially with the new battery. Ive driven over 100 miles and still had 37% percent battery charge left. The new color option of protonic blue is a great step forward. Pick-up 0 to 30 is outstanding though you will feel the road and bumps a little much. Previous reviews on ride comfort hold true for the battery refreshed 2017. Overall a great car for suburbanites and urban dwellers. Getting 5 miles per kW hour.

  Love the quiet - 2017 BMW i3
  By David Vener - December 7 - 4:27 pm

  Its been a great first month. The car has had no issues. Acceleration is amazing and the quiet is just sublime. Good sound insulation also protects the interior from external noise as well as the lack of engine noise. Weve had no problems; range is as advertised. Installed a 220 v 40 amp charger in the garage that is very convenient. Havent had to use the Range extender yet, though my wife told me she got a notification that the engine was cycling, presumably just to keep the fluids from settling too much. Enormous headroom; Im 64 and have another 2" beyond the top of my head. Visibility is excellent. The rear seats are quite usable but wouldnt buy it if we anticipated using them a lot. Lots of trunk space. Only gripe is that the BMW technology integration is a bit wonky and takes some getting used to. Would have loved to have electric seats, but I suspect that would have added significant weight. Carbon fiber body is really nice as is the interior wood. Seats are very comfortable.

  Almost perfect electric vehicle - 2017 BMW i3
  By SEAN MARTIN - May 12 - 11:59 pm

  Fun too drive. Supet quiet. Zero emissions. After this great experience with first electric car, I dont think I could go back to another internal combustion vehicle. Electric range of 200+ miles and a 5th seat would make it perfect.
