Used BMW i3 for sale near Barrow-in-Furness

The BMW i3 is an appealing, upmarket and beautifully finished electric car that’s engaging and easy to drive. It’s also an interesting piece of design and engineering, and it’s packed full of modern and useful technology, all of which bolsters its desirability further.

It has its flaws, however, ranging from those annoying rear doors to its occasionally stiff and unsettled ride. What’s most problematic, however, is the fact that the i3 often costs far more than comparable rivals with a much longer range. When new, a BMW i3 with a WLTP range of up to 188 miles, for example, cost almost £10,000 more than a more practical Renault Zoe with a 245-mile range.

These issues will probably prove moot to those who just love the BMW’s distinctive looks and design, however, and even though the car is not without fault, they’ll still be getting a bold and enjoyable premium electric car. Otherwise, if you just want a small electric car, there are plenty of other alternatives that could save you a hefty stack of cash.
