We've had one for 8 months now and I love it! I think Rebecca should have had the car a little longer to get a better feel for the ins and outs. A shame they didn't discuss leasing costs as it puts it not far above a Nissan Leaf in terms of monthly cost. 8 months in, 5000 miles covered and we haven't bought petrol/diesel since! If you're at all tempted - go and test drive one - they're fricking go karts! :)
What's with What Car's obsession with lumber support? almost no car has this as standard! Full electric i3 range 120 odd miles range extender 200 miles that is a huge difference contrary to what she says!
I had the opportunity of using one of these for a couple of days and I must say I was impressed from the get go. I drove 68 miles over 2 days to and from work and found it a dream to drive. I had a laugh when, at the traffic lights, about 4 cars of various huge sizes all went in the over taking lane and when the light changed to green I just 'went' thinking where did everyone go! It goes so fast if you are not careful LOL. I definitely a convert. I love my 1 serious so much that in a couple of years I will review the i3 again. ;-)
hmm range extender only 100 miles extra...yes but you can bring small petrol emergency tanks with you, I guess you can drive for 1000 miles if you want. That extender version would certainly be my choice.
As _new_ cars, the i3 was not a very good deal when comparing features to other EVs in the same price range. But on the _used_ car market they are actually a great deal. If possible try to go for the 94 or 120 Ah version rather than the older 60 Ah which has quite a bit less range. In my neck of the woods (the US), the 60 Ah version can be found (used) for around $15000-$16000 whereas the 94 Ah version is about $3000 - $4000 more. 120 Ah ones are harder to find, but if you can they usually are asking somewhere in the neighborhood of $23000 - $25000.
I am really surprised that you complain about how small the trunk (boot) space is but failed to show how large it becomes when the rear seats are folded down completely flat. You don't seem too impressed with the added range of the REX or petrol motor generator. It is not a hybrid, but a range extended EV. The range with the REX becomes unlimited, only that one needs to stop at a petrol station every 75 minutes to refill the 2 gal. tank. The only other car in the same category that can do this is the Chevy Volt. It is not a pure serial hybrid. But thank you for the nice review.
Don't get the Ford Fiesta comparison. Although the outside measures might come close. The i3 is more or at least feels more roomy! Also the i3 is way more fun to drive in my opinion. They just introduced an updated i3 with now 120ah battery pack.
This car is surprisingly the best value electric car in my local market currently, because if you got a similiarly specced BMW 1-Series instead, you would only save some 4000€, which considering they both cost way over 30.000€, isn't that much at the end of the day, especially considering all other electric cars currently sold here are over 14.000€ more expensive than a traditional counterpart.
it's 90 miles electric range when it's colder in the uk and the petrol is 70miles range (from an owner) We love our i3. Oh and you can get a mountain bike in the back with the front wheel off (just measure your bike).
You can’t charge it overnight on a 3 pin plug socket - it takes 19 hours to charge from empty to full unless you get the proper home charger installed..
Omds omds man! Her voice when she was trying to connect the phone to the car, was so soothing and beautiful! I wish I knew someone that spoke like that damn
oops I forgot you cannot re- fuel with Diesel you have to buy a new car when the fuel tank empties , well luckily with an i3 you can recharge the battery in approx 37 mins from near empty and can choose to miss stops and run on Rex for approx 100 mls should you choose long trips are relatively easy , a different mind set is all that's required , also done Mcr - John O Groats for a long weekend 1280mls , how far do most ICE drivers travel less than 50 mls , I was one of them , not any more 😂
Even without looking at the range, you could tell, this is not a long journey car. For long ranges you take a lower car, with bigger wheelbase. Real comfortable seats will have to offer tons a options for adjustment and will weigh a lot more. This is a city car, and fits for that purpose.
There is doubling up of info about rear passenger space and mileage range? Also it would have been worth saying about the extra money for quick charging which that car had, quite a bit extra!! Saying all that, I would still like one if I had the money.
Really like the i3 - but the price stops it being a sensible buy - the low running costs don't make up for this unfortunately. Perhaps it will make more sense as a used buy?
I bought a 2016(66) model in Nov 2018 that cost £41k new for £24k so costs £0 for road tax. I live in Scotland so get free charging so costs nothing to run apart from insurance. Love this little car.
Absolutely! I'm 6'2" and I have a lot of room in my i3. The car is very tall like an SUV and there is not an engine hump or for that much an engine in front. The car is very roomy! You'd have to get into at least a BMW X3 to have similar interior room for the driver.
I'm 6'3" and fit comfortably in the front and the back. This small car has enough space inside for 4 adults easy, with plenty leg room. Had mine for 6 months and love it.
my guess is £4£ the i3 is pretty much the same monthly running cost as a fiesta (mid range one) if you do 25000 miles a year on PCP plus fuel vs electric cost
"Only 100 miles" more sounds like a ridiculous thing to say, but you have to consider Australia's geography. ~95% of the people live in cities and large towns that are fairly closely spaced along the east, west, and north coasts. If you are one of those people, and if you're Australian chances are very good that you are, there's no need for anything more than the standard 124 miles. If you're taking a trip longer than that, which you might once or twice per year for holiday or visiting rural family, you probably already take a train or fly instead of using your current petrol-powered car's 300 mile range. However, in the parts of Australia that are further apart, the vast, empty outback, 224 miles is nothing, you might as well not have the extra 100 miles because you're still not getting anywhere. Sure, there are small mining camps that are much closer together, but they'll never have charging stations. If you live in the Northern Territory, or South Australia outside of Adelaide, just don't get an i3. But relatively few people live there, so I doubt BMW is concerned.
No, 200 is a good minimum because it's more than most people need in their busiest travel days, excluding long road trips. It's not just about range though. How many are built and how they are marketed are just as important. If you make a car with 1,000 miles of range but you only build 15,000 per year and sell them in California, you're selling a compliance car! Note that BMW sold 7625 of the i3 in 2016: www.bmwblog.com/2017/04/07/heres-last-years-bmw-i3-sales-compared-competition/ That's pathetic, but by design. It is after all, it is just a compliance car, so they don't advertise it, or stock it on dealer lots like the cars they actually want to sell. The leaf will likely not be a compliance car, but we'll have to see if it's got the range *AND* if it's produced in volume and sold as aggressively as they sell their other cars.
"more than most people need in their busiest travel days, excluding long road trips" which is still arbitrary. google average miles and you will see why 120 is great for most people. it is roughly two hours of driving. go ahead and call all non-Tesla cars compliance, while they continue to win awards and provide the foundation for further innovation. was the Tela Roadster a compliance car? i guess so based on your definition.
What a silly thing for Rebecca to say ‘you only get 100 miles extra’.... yes; but then you can fill it up in a few minutes and repeat the process 🤦🏻♂️
Electric cars are getting faster and cost of running the car is getting cheaper. For environment lover's it is the solution but cost of the product need to be reduced. You look good in that outfit and anything looks good on you.
Yup, weather took a tun for the worst in June. It's like winter... cold, wet and windy with loads of gray clouds. Like Rebecca's coat though, wonder where it came from?
But you don't know when this was recorded... the car has a '16' registration, which means it was first registered between March and September 2016. I'm sure if this was more recently recorded, they would have used a newer car ie. '66' registration (Sept 16 to Feb 17), or a '17' (March 17 to now).
too bad about the high price, id rather pollute the world than paid all this extra money for electric, bring the prices down to £15k NEW and more people would get one also getting just the electric version of the car is not so great say if I want to go too leeds which is 40 miles there and 40 back id be pushing it with out a charge before I come home
I wish somebody producing and directing would talk to Rebecca about her presentation. Mostly great but she does get a bit screechy on the uplift and it sounds almost like she's putting too much emphasis on what she is saying.
Call me what you will... but I truly prefer European locals reviewing BMW products in general. I'm from the US... and some of the reviewers here are just insufferable...
She says the range extender only adds about 100 miles. For a car with about 100 mile range, that's quite a lot! If this is the future for cars, it's quite sad. Poor driving dynamics and little horsepower with emphasis on battery regeneration. Might as well walk or ride a bike if CO2 is the over riding factor in car design.
What a dreadful review. Shows she has no idea what people need to know from an EV. Heating for start? Does it have a heat pump? Rear camera? Fast DC charging? List goes on and on. Goes to show people who do car reviews follow one another like sheep and have no idea what they are doing.
This is good EV car, for city driving and with the range extender it is reasonable for occasional long journeys as well. Tesla is total shit as EV... and overall as car!
In my opinion Matt has developed more as a car reviewer since moving away from Car Buyer. The same can't be said of Rebecca, she has gone back the way. Matt is way better than Rebecca now, more character and personality, with a fluid performance. Rebecca is not doing enough videos to maintain her previous level. Very poor and repeating the rear seat section twice is just pathetic!!
Josh A The problem is that Rebecca has gone back in the sense of delivery. Her videos for car buyer were far better, but she was also making regular videos. Now she seems very stale. A shame, as she has shown she has talent and she can do it. Now she reminds me of Edward Woodward in the Equaliser, very wooden!
She dont need to say anything to me. I can watch the most informative car videos, or the most lifestyle brand driven car videos, the douchiest car videos, but a beautiful woman driving a car with a right & proper British accent. Sign me up.
"It's easy to get in the back once you get used to these hinged doors..."? Do they have any other type? Seriously, though, that's fine while you sit on your own, but try doing that in your average supermarket car park with thoughtless drivers either side. You get yourself in a right tangled squeeze trying to open both doors at the same time. It has to be the worst design ever, just because the stylists were trying to be clever!
I still do not understand this car. Why should I pay so much money on a bucket with wheels? I can get huge, premium cars with less money and if I want an electric car I can go for a tesla.
I don't mean to speak for everyone else out there, but I suspect most people aren't interested in all the stupid gadgets and phone sync blah blah blah, everything does that these days it's nothing special. We care about RANGE RANGE RANGE, until you've gotten that upto 250 miles stop wasting our time.
There is no way i care enough about the environment to pay double the price of a normal car for this. It would take about 30 years to get your money back on fuel saving.
Mcr , sevenoaks in Kent and return as a day trip 540mls , done the same trip in my VW tdi some months before , main difference is cost £58 in Diesel car , total cost including Rex use £8 , think I know which I prefer , journey time not really that different and more relaxed and comfortable in the Rex EV , there is so much crap spouted about this car , so respectfully I'll retract the insult " Peace " 😀
Patrick Van Reusel , not so it's called re- fuelling , look in Autocar 50-70 mph times the fun factor is plain to see , that coupled with the FACT the car starts paying for itself after purchase the more you drive it 🤔
It is small enough for to infants on the backseat, two adults in the front and a child buggy in the trunk. If she is as big as her nose then i understand when she says it is small in the back.
3.05 and 5.50
The rear seats part is repeated twice
That's a major cock up
Devis Bétrisey I was so confused!
Yeah noticed ,thought I had knocked the rewind button lol
Devis Bétrisey she was tripping
Looks like she loves it in the rear. So much so she did it twice!
We've had one for 8 months now and I love it! I think Rebecca should have had the car a little longer to get a better feel for the ins and outs.

The i3 doesn't use your phone connection to search the Internet. It has its own sim.
Strange sense of deja vu watching this . . . .
I just bought a used 2017 looking forward to driving it. Sad the US does not have as many charging stations as Europe.
What's with What Car's obsession with lumber support? almost no car has this as standard! Full electric i3 range 120 odd miles range extender 200 miles that is a huge difference contrary to what she says!
Totally agree. It’s bs
Rebecca.... you could review a tuna fish sandwich and I would love it.
The rear seat footage was shot on Groundhog Day.
I had the opportunity of using one of these for a couple of days and I must say I was impressed from the get go. I drove 68 miles over 2 days to and from work and found it a dream to drive. I had a laugh when, at the traffic lights, about 4 cars of various huge sizes all went in the over taking lane and when the light changed to green I just 'went' thinking where did everyone go!

For the love of god, don't carry around petrol canisters in your car.

It's a huge advantage to have no gears to change and no engine running in traffic.
Well it depends on if you like manuels and driving skill which some people do. And some like petrol engines.

"Not much difference in range between electric-only and range extender version". It bloody doubles the range!
Top up the petrol and the range is not limited as long as you drive carefully to allow the Rex generator to keep the battery with enough energy.
By the look of the lights this is a pre-2017 model
Or just look at the number plate 😂
@@Theyhaveacavetroll94 us foreigners won't read much from it
BMW didn't plan to make the seats comfortable for a long journey. They knew the range is so small you won't drive long enough to feel uncomfortable!
the seat comfort is fine tbh. I have no problems with it.
I find the i3 more comfortable than a Lexus rx and x1 and 3 series we have had.
Even without looking at the range, you could tell, this is not a long journey car. For long ranges you take a lower car, with bigger wheelbase. Real comfortable seats will have to offer tons a options for adjustment and will weigh a lot more. This is a city car, and fits for that purpose.
Rebecca is back in the air! Glad to see her really
There is doubling up of info about rear passenger space and mileage range? Also it would have been worth saying about the extra money for quick charging which that car had, quite a bit extra!! Saying all that, I would still like one if I had the money.
Mark Denovan DC Rapid charge is standard on the i3
So many errors in this video. The material on the interior is not carbon fibre, its kenaf
You do not mention that rear doors glasses do not open, which it is fustrating.
All of its power the moment you press the accelerator?
No, you get all the torque, not all the power.
Really like the i3 - but the price stops it being a sensible buy - the low running costs don't make up for this unfortunately. Perhaps it will make more sense as a used buy?
I bought a 2016(66) model in Nov 2018 that cost £41k new for £24k so costs £0 for road tax. I live in Scotland so get free charging so costs nothing to run apart from insurance. Love this little car.
Definitely a buyer's market. I may pull the trigger myself.
How much head room for someone 5 foot 4?
You demonstrated the rear seats twice.
Wouldnt smaller wheels help a bit with range and comfort? Thats the point right?!
smaller wheels make potholes more jarring. But they're great for manoeuvrability.
@@Hirotoro4692 he meant smaller wheels but higher profile tyres so the same actual diameter but more tyre cushioning.
I can't tell if it's really big and spacious or if she's really tiny.
210 miles???
Try 90 at best in winter and 140 in the summer, as I have found
Is it still that chilly in the UK?
How long would it take to charge it to full on the service station chargers
It's supposed to be summer!!
interesting thx fr sharing :)
Was there a car in this video?
can a 6 foot person fit ?
Absolutely! I'm 6'2" and I have a lot of room in my i3. The car is very tall like an SUV and there is not an engine hump or for that much an engine in front. The car is very roomy! You'd have to get into at least a BMW X3 to have similar interior room for the driver.

in the front easily can a 6 foot person stay
my guess is £4£ the i3 is pretty much the same monthly running cost as a fiesta (mid range one) if you do 25000 miles a year on PCP plus fuel vs electric cost
I wish What Car would bin the awful "music " at the start of their videos, it's ear--splitting
Great video
What are the service cost rates?
electric cars need very little maintenance. mostly HVAC, brakes, and tires, which are equal or less than normal ICE.
Calvin Grier
Did that guarantee a lower service cost? I doubt it.
2:57 what do you mean "long journeys"?
"Only 100 miles" more sounds like a ridiculous thing to say, but you have to consider Australia's geography. ~95% of the people live in cities and large towns that are fairly closely spaced along the east, west, and north coasts.

that short limited range may work in the UK/Europe, but is impractical for Canada or the USA, outside of cities only.
good thing the overwhelming majority of people live and work in cities, eh? :)
rex mean no range anxiety ever and no trip plan needed ....
It's a compliance car with pitiful range. "Decent" range starts at 200 miles. Not 124.
that's an arbitrary number. when leaf has 200 you'll say 250. ;-)
No, 200 is a good minimum because it's more than most people need in their busiest travel days, excluding long road trips. It's not just about range though. How many are built and how they are marketed are just as important. If you make a car with 1,000 miles of range but you only build 15,000 per year and sell them in California, you're selling a compliance car! Note that BMW sold 7625 of the i3 in 2016:

The Bolt blows past 200 mile range. Unlike Tesla you can buy one right now, while waiting for your pre-ordered Tesla to arrive someday hence.
What a silly thing for Rebecca to say ‘you only get 100 miles extra’.... yes; but then you can fill it up in a few minutes and repeat the process 🤦🏻♂️
Electric cars are getting faster and cost of running the car is getting cheaper. For environment lover's it is the solution but cost of the product need to be reduced. You look good in that outfit and anything looks good on you.
So the petrol extender doesn’t add much range..... only almost double. 😂🤷🏻♂️
and you could carry a couple of gallons in the front boot
I thought rebecca went to to the do reviews for telegraph?
Me too, she changed it again as it seems... Theres no one left anymore hahaha Carwow maybe haha
looked like plenty of head and leg room to me
smart body kit + roll royce door = bmw i3
Ok ok, we got it! There not much room in the back.
Summer looks like fall in the UK
Yup, weather took a tun for the worst in June. It's like winter... cold, wet and windy with loads of gray clouds. Like Rebecca's coat though, wonder where it came from?

MrTrull1 good point mate.
Mobile phone paring and storytelling style make Rebecca very obsolete in 2017. She was better before, especially while she was with carbuyer.

Rebecca, never drive wearing a thick coat.
The steering wheel is on the wrong side.
theres always one.
It is on the right side
you look comfortable to me looks like loads of leg room in the back😁
I bet she's the better ride than that BMW.

she's not engaged anymore? don't see the massive ring she had in her last videos
**STALKER ALERT**
Vincent de Guard Just a fan. (Was a fan)
haha ...me too!
my brother bought this car and his moustache caused the range to drop by 100 miles...
Oh rebecca, I love you, from the epiglottis.

Nothing about driving refinement (road and wind noise intrusion)! I find this an inadequate review.
When she was connecting the phone, i got wood.......
The only wood she wants in that car is the eucalyptus on the dashboard.
boring and what's the news? same 'old' story as a couple year back...
Her incredibly sultry accent makes watching this video fun for me.
She isnt sultry in the slightest - if anything she has a rather chirpy tone
Now that you've called it out, perhaps sultry isn't accurate. Chirpy, eh? Ok, let's roll with chirpy. I like it. I like it a lot.
Damn she's fine and a good dresser--most women, let alone people do not know how to dress these days.

if a thoughtless drive blocks he door, pull out first, then let the rear seat passengers in. or slide in from the other side. :-)
I only came on here to read the thirsty comments. The car is a bit toilet really.
Where is That Beautiful Rebecca!
I still do not understand this car.
Why should I pay so much money on a bucket with wheels?
I can get huge, premium cars with less money and if I want an electric car I can go for a tesla.
J Lord not only that, for the same money as one of these, you can get a nicely spec-ed 3 Series.
Too small
Cat costa
Did she mention how bloody ugly it Is??
I don't mean to speak for everyone else out there, but I suspect most people aren't interested in all the stupid gadgets and phone sync blah blah blah, everything does that these days it's nothing special. We care about RANGE RANGE RANGE, until you've gotten that upto 250 miles stop wasting our time.
Common voice.
yuk !
Rebecca is the best.
She really isn't.
She's cute, and I'm not talking about the car :)
There is no way i care enough about the environment to pay double the price of a normal car for this. It would take about 30 years to get your money back on fuel saving.
Is horible in comparison with the normal 3 Series :)) 3 Series Coupe looks like dream car. This looks like the trash bin.
No need for lumber support for long trips, the car is not able to make long trips.
Patrick Van Reusel , wish you knew what you were talking about , because you don't , merely talking Bolloks 😂😂😂
the merlin What's the longest trip you made with your i3 then?
Mcr , sevenoaks in Kent and return as a day trip 540mls , done the same trip in my VW tdi some months before , main difference is cost £58 in Diesel car , total cost including Rex use £8 , think I know which I prefer , journey time not really that different and more relaxed and comfortable in the Rex EV , there is so much crap spouted about this car , so respectfully I'll retract the insult " Peace " 😀
the merlin The longest trip possible with the range extender model is less than 200 Miles. Not a long trip
Patrick Van Reusel , not so it's called re- fuelling , look in Autocar 50-70 mph times the fun factor is plain to see , that coupled with the FACT the car starts paying for itself after purchase the more you drive it 🤔
It is small enough for to infants on the backseat, two adults in the front and a child buggy in the trunk.
If she is as big as her nose then i understand when she says it is small in the back.
