2014 BMW i3

This BMW i3 is a stylish electric car, boasting advanced carbon-fibre construction, impressive zero-emission performance and an extensive equipment list. It is powered by a 168bhp electric motor, coupled to a 60 Ah 18.2 kWh lithium-ion battery, giving a range of around 80-100 miles. The odometer shows just 10,901 miles.

First registered on 26 June 2014, this i3 has three previous keepers on the log book. It was assigned to the current owner in September 2020.

Today, it’s Laurus Grey Metallic bodywork presents very well, with no signs of any prior damage, and with a smooth and glossy appearance all around the car. The vendor reports two minor surface scratches that would polish out. The i3 has bright blue accents denoting its fully electric credentials, and intriguing styling that means it still looks futuristic even today. All of the body trims are in good order, including the charging port flap and the plug covers. It rides on 19-inch Style 428’ turbine alloys, which have some minor kerbing grazes that are to be expected of an urban-focused car.

Inside, the i3 was specified with the ‘Suite’ interior theme, featuring Dalbergia Brown leather, eucalyptus wood trim across the dashboard top, a leather-trimmed instrument panel, and a satin silver accent around the multi-function steering wheel. The car is equipped with the BMW Professional media and navigation system, cruise control, climate control, and heated front seats. There are no electrical faults, and no warning lights on the dashboard.

The last service visit was in February 2020 at 10,251 miles, carried out by BMW Park Lane. The next interim inspection is not due until July 2021, and the next brake fluid service not due until July 2022. The most recent MOT was on 20 July 2020 at 10,251 miles, which noted wear to the rear tyres and a small cut in one of the front tyres.

Accompanying the car are the original books, tyre inflator, home charging box with three-pin plug, and the blue Type 2 charging cable.

This BMW i3 is a smart city car, representing a significant step forward in electric mobility. Its design and driving dynamics were praised at launch, and this is still one of the few electric cars that feels truly special and different from behind the wheel. For someone who has been seeking a great value guilt-free urban runabout, this is a great opportunity to acquire a high-specification and well-maintained example.
