Quite pleased with mine so far

Reminded by how basic the sat nav is unless you go for pro (I didn't)

Range is good, 130 miles or so

Like the carbon fibre roof

Perfectly pleasant all round really

Mine arrived this week

Couldn't be happier. Very pleasant to drive in grotty commuting conditions
Currently the range drops about 30 miles for every 40 miles I cover.

Ionic silver suits it - nice bluish tint

Loving ours too that arrived Wednesday. Hadn't expected it to be nearly so much fun. Prefer it to our Golf R that's going back later in the month. By a mile. Happy, happy. smile

Someone asked me today if I got the electric car " because it is cheap & you are tight "

I did only get the Zoe back in Dec 14 because it was cheap. I knew it would be ok for bumbling about in, but the main factor in the decision was the £153 / mth & 2ppm

However, it turned out to be a really good car & after only a few hundred miles, I was certain it would be replaced with another EV when the time came

The i3 isn't as cheap, but it isn't expensive as cars go. And I am tight.

So yes, I got the electric car because it is cheap & I am tight, but also because it is a nice car to drive & does what I need it to do very well. The only part of the green benefits I recognise is that it doesn't cause local air pollution when in use

Is anyone aware of any October deal? I'm not even sure where to look, the normal lease website don't seem to have anything interesting

I've become extremely interested in this 94Ah i3, so much so that I plan to view one at my local dealership tomorrow.

I've seen the PCP offer on the BMW website for £300 pcm, 8k miles p.a. but I'd like to know; are you able to negotiate for them to give a larger deposit contribution or to reduce the cost price of the car?

I am hardly an expert in this field but when I leased my second i3, I just found the cheapest lease deal online and showed it to my BMW dealer. He then said we are allowed to match these now - so I got it from them direct.

BMW dealer delivered it, deal is through Alphabet.

On a home 7KW charger around 4-5 hours depending on how much battery is actually left.

On the 13amp 3-pin plug I would imagine around 10-12 hours

On a DC fast charge .... dunno, never charged outside of the home. smile
