i3 - BEV v REx

[RossP]

Interestingly out of the 9 people of who have added the details of their i3 orders to the Wiki, there are only 2 REx out of the 9 vehicles.

It would be interesting to know what the split is across BMW's order book.

Is a Bex a hybrid between a BEV and a REx?

Anyone want to buy a Jeep Grand Cherokee?

When I ordered mine the dealer commented that BMW were expecting the majority or orders to be REX and have been surprised by the number of BEV orders.

Anecdotal I know but it seems the type of person buying and i3, is more adventurous and on the leading edge, so of course to them the REX seems like a cop out. I also think (based on my mirror) BEV owners are more attractive and rugged than the pale skinned REXer's

You've just made me spit my tea out!

All the same reasons I ordered a BEV! Plus my wife is called Beverley.

[RossP]

Whatever works for you. I've had the BEV for 6 months now and done over 6,500 miles. Not once would I have needed the Rex if I'd had one.

7,143 miles here on electric only!
