A Brief History | BMW i3 

The i3 was launched with only one battery size, which was later upgraded

The I3 is still adored by its owners! I own a 2020 I3s and this car is the best driving experience ever! Use it for city and around city use, perfect. And with the free chargers station, I drive for......free!

Fantastic video,very interesting. I love the I3 for it's looks. Even in 2019 it still turns heads.

I love my i3... I have had it for many years, and it now has 30k miles on it, and it is still working flawlessly.

This is my 2nd time watching this....thank you for such a well done job with this! Very interesting all the different EVs that BMW has tried throughout the years...I just wish the concept made it to the showrooms! Thanks!

Thank you for this informative video - I love my 2017 BMW i3!

Just helped my grandparents buy a second hand 2017 94ah one, they seem very pleased with it. Very interesting video 👍🏼

Great video. You are getting really good at this :-)

Another terrific video Ryan. Well done. I think this is a Marmite car that people either love or hate. I think it's a brilliant car. You added a lot of interest by looking at its development. After 3,500 miles our REX version still has approx half a tank of petrol, almost the same as it had in January. We have not added any petrol in that time, but having the REX does allay range anxiety. Really appreciate your videos, keep up the good work.

Brilliant and very informative video...Thank you.

Great historic video. Keep them coming!

Really good watch, thanks Ryan.

Fascinating history, I didn’t known of the history of BMWs electric cars before the e-Mini and the i3.

Great vid 👌🏻

We love our i3. Ready for our 2nd one!

Great video!

Great video, one of your best.

Well, is an old video and it was a little optimistic in certain things. I am in my 2nd i3 now, and love it to bits! Best cars I have ever owned. It has come to that time where bmw has decided to stop production of the i3. Sadly as not mentioned in this video, bmw’s view of electric cars changed sometime after this car was launch with the change of management, and it derailed pretty hard. There is no replacement to the i3 in site, and the new bmw i models, being good as they are, are pretty far of a departure from the i3 technological advances. It more like a step back in regards to manufacturing. Yes they have better technology but they are ice cars converted to electric. And the ix suv, well is a great car but it’s not designed for the same people that bought the i3’s, not a city car, it’s an expensive vehicle. Anyways, I think this car will eventually become a classic. For us owners it’s a good thing. Will always be a unique, far ahead of its time vehicle designed and created to be as out of the box thinking as possible. And that’s why it will always be loved by its owners.

Great video of a great little car. It will be a sad day when production comes to an end as it does seem that it’s replacement is likely to be a EV variant of a mainstream BMW model. Just too iconic and probably too unusual and expensive to produce for the BMW bean counters.

In 2013 only the 22kWh model was available. The 34kWh model did not arrive until 2016. Other than that I enjoyed you video!
