So who's getting an i3?

28.5mpg in an M3! I've never seen that, good work!

I have a pic of my dash to prove it if I can be bothered to copy it from my phone!

My car is arriving at the dealer on the 19th Feb. Current plan is to take delivery on March 1st so it's on a 14 plate. Although I am really tempted just to get it ASAP. What do you reckon?

[RossP]

I am leasing

[RossP]

Not sure which build week but it was delivery week 8. Think that might now be week 7.

[RossP]

I will try it on summer tyres and see what it's like first.

I just found this with a few more details on the Harmon Kardon surround sound system in the i3 http://www.bmw.harmankardon.com/en/vehicles/BMW-i3...

Excellent!

[RossP]

I've always rather liked the Insight!

My i3 is due to the dealer now on the 19th but I am going to hold on till the 1st of March for a 14 reg.

[RossP]

All the above plus the tyres are too wide!

Btw, for anyone that hasn't seen it already, Olf has written up a brilliant review of his weekend with a REx (in the BMW General section).

Just read that thread - still some i3 haters around! They need to drive one.

[RossP]

Just had confirmation that my car is in build and will be with the dealer w/c 24th Feb so will be ready for me on 1st March! Yay!

[RossP]

Seems like there are a lot of prospective i3 owners excited about getting their new cars (me included). Do leaf purchasers feel the same?

My Rex has just entered build and I should be getting it at the same time as Ross in the first week of March....

Don't know but it will be one of the first Rexs out there.

Just been told that my REx is now built and has departed Leipzig on it's way to the port so 1st March collection is looking likely.

Our cars are probably all going to be on the same boat.

Just emailed the dealer and mine is 'released to carrier'. So sounds like they are travelling together!

Hi Spitty. I'm picking mine up at 9am

[RossP]

You doing the OEM exhaust mod Andy? You're going to love it!

[RossP]

No i3 yet, but we did get our first EV today...

[RossP]

It's a Razor E300. Managed to get a bargain on the ex display model at Costco for my lad.

Sorry about sideways pic - it's ok on
my phone.

Throttle response is a little binary and regen seems poor. Other than that it's fun!

i3 driven. Car specified. Order placed. Deposit paid! Anticipated delivery September…

That was a quick decision! EV or REx?
