BMW I3 2017
Carsguide Contributing Journalist Tim Robson had this to say at the time: The i3 is actually reasonably priced for what it is; a compact, stylish, unusual BMW product.

Range rating for electric cars?
We're at the dawn of the electric era and waiting for an official global standard. It's not about charging the batteries but the range you get for the charge.
