ADMIN MOD. Questions Regarding a used BMW i3 purchase. Hey everyone, I'm very seriously considering buying a used 2017 I3 REx as my primary vehicle and wanted to hear what y'alls experience was with some particular points of consideration for me.

The i3's range is more than adequate for my daily needs so I have no desire to haul around the bulk and mass of a higher capacity battery. I bought my 2015 three years ago and it was also up against a new Bolt that only cost $3k more at the time ($17k vs $20k). My choice was easy.

Just know that the original estimated range is not going to be the real-life range. So, if you are expecting 80 miles on a charge from an older i3 BEV, don't. Expect less. 2014 and 2015 had plastic mounting brackets that can be a pain to replace. 2017 gets you the option of a larger battery pack.

Confirming battery strength on a used i3. Hey everyone, first post. I'm pretty much convinced that an i3 is my next car but I can't and won't buy one new. Currently looking at 15-17 REx cars and ideally it's the 94ah but the price difference is nearly the same as a whole new battery pack would cost, so that got the hamster in my head

Don't worry about battery life. The i3 has one of the best BMSs - it'll last long enough for the aftermarket battery scene to offer us affordable solid state replacements. The carbon shell and chassis is way ahead of the competition. Battery life is not something you need to worry about with the i3.

The other reason is BMW pushing low cost subsidized leases, resulting in lower demand for a used car. They also reduced their additional CPO coverage from 2 years to 1 year (I think it was a mistake on their part) resulting in a big hit to CPO market. Previously you could buy a 3 year lease return CPO with another 3 years of warranty.

The i3 is a driver's car, if you like your driving to be BMW style then the i3 would not disappoint. Hard ride but the car grows on you. There is nothing I would rather drive, around at the moment. Regen is perfect and will bring the car to a smooth complete halt. If the i3 had 180 Ah then I would be trading in and signing up in a moment.

A REx i3, as long as the REx is used properly (that is to say at least 1x per month during a sufficiently long period of time so that the engine can be hot), will not break down randomly. I own a i3 since a year, I do 2000-3000km per month and I use for at least 400km per month and never had any problem.

Yes, BMW ended i3 production last year with 250,000 produced. The 2013 to 2022 run was long by contemporary standards.

The i3 is one of the earliest "modern EVs" on the market, along with the Leaf and the Tesla Model S. Because older (2014) models are available, they tend to get cheaper. By comparison, the Chevy Bolt's earliest year is 2017. A used 2017 i3 will probably have about the same price drop percent as a 2017 Bolt.
