1M........tHe PoLaR bEaR.
Discussion
Just a quick update, 29,800 miles on the clock and the 1M has now doubled up as a family all-rounder with the addition of a new family member, so, now accommodating the back seat is a Recaro young profi+ baby carrier, and space in the boot for the Mountain-buggy terrain and a bag each for long weekends away.
It has been some time since I last updated this thread. Still have the 1M which is now 5.5yrs and 40k on the clock.
Recently relocating out of London and slightly south into a more country like setting, I recently had the 1M for a freshen up while we moved and set up the new house, so it spent the past few weeks with my mate Lee at Crash Care Centre in Hitchin, having had many adventures during its 40k mile life, the front bumper, bonnet and side skirts needed some new paint and while doing so had the wheels re-sprayed, replaced the front and rear wheel arch liners and the under engine cover, also the front lower grill and the black plastics making up the lower air intakes. So a good clean up that should see it good for another 5 years. As having moved out of London and replacing the 15 min walk to work with a 55 mile round trip, we decided to give electric a go, I must say the little i3 is a great daily commuter, I have been well impressed now after 1200 miles, comfortable but plenty quick, a real easy drive in London traffic.

Without giving too much away, do you live somewhere in Kent sort of near Maidstone?Recently relocating out of London and slightly south into a more country like setting, I recently had the 1M for a freshen up while we moved and set up the new house, so it spent the past few weeks with my mate Lee at Crash Care Centre in Hitchin, having had many adventures during its 40k mile life, the front bumper, bonnet and side skirts needed some new paint and while doing so had the wheels re-sprayed, replaced the front and rear wheel arch liners and the under engine cover, also the front lower grill and the black plastics making up the lower air intakes.

Sounds about right, about 13 years ago they would have, bloody built in toilets and no access to service the underside of the system, had to cut through tiles and wood panel last Friday to replace a diaphragm, please pass that on, ah and the dodgy build of the rear decking, just removed and had it totally replaced, I will leave it there but there is more lol I (well the company I worked for) may have built your house
