i3 - Will you buy one?

[BMWM3]

Bros and Sisters,

As we are aware soon i3 will be making its way into our shores......you will buy trade in your car for electric?

Learned from internet, i3 is a short distance car and BMW will load you (FOC?) for long distance travel. Will this apply in Singapore?

Any comments?

BMW i3 (Are you born electric?)

I think i3 is for tree hugging environmental idealist.
confirm cannot go Malaysia.
the moment you start the car you will feel stressed because you have to keep worrying about range and recharging.

IMHO 2-cyl engine = 2-wheelers.
'REAL' 4-wheelers must have at least 4-cyl n....preferably force-fed.

If you stay in landed property, no issue.

If you stay in HDB/Condo, forget about.

In order to charge quickly, high current charging port is required. Only possible to install in landed property unless office next to City Sq or Ikea.

Definitely "no". Most of new cars from BMW are crap!
