2014 BMW i3

KEY FACTS

• A low mileage example of the stylish electric city car, presented in very good overall condition and with an attractive factory specification.
• It is powered by a 168bhp electric motor, which is coupled to a single-speed reduction gearbox and a 60 Ah, 18.2 Kwh lithium-ion battery, providing a range of 80-100 miles.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• Finished in Laurus Grey Metallic, this i3 was specified with the ‘Suite’ interior theme, featuring Dalbergia Brown leather upholstery, a leather-trimmed instrument panel, eucalyptus wood trim across the top of the dashboard and a satin silver accent around the rim of the steering wheel.
• Equipment includes the BMW Professional infotainment system, cruise control, climate control and heated front seats.
• It rides on its original set of 19-inch ‘Style 428’ alloy wheels, which have previously been refurbished and are very smart.
• The car will be accompanied by its tyre inflator and blue Type 2 charging cable.

CONDITION

• No bodywork damage.
• The Laurus Grey Metallic paintwork is completely original and is in very good overall condition, with only a few small imperfections in line with the car’s age, including a scuff on the rear passenger-side door.
• The seller has had all four alloy wheels refurbished.
• Inside, the elegantly-designed cabin is in great shape, and while there is some light creasing on the driver’s seat and scuffs on the plastic trim beside the accelerator pedal, this is commensurate with this i3’s use.
• There are no known electrical or mechanical faults with the vehicle, and there are no warning lights or messages displayed on the dashboard.
• This i3’s last MOT test was conducted on 20 July 2020 at 10,251 miles, resulting in a first-time pass with advisories noting a cut in one of the front tyres and wear to the edges of both rear tyres – though the nearside rear tyre is date-coded to mid-2020, which suggests it was changed following the test. The other three tyres are the original items.

SERVICE HISTORY

• This i3’s most recent routine maintenance was carried out in February 2020 at 10,251 miles by BMW Park Lane.
• Prior to this, services were performed in August 2018 at 6,444 miles and in August 2016 at 1,947 miles.
• The seller also notes that the car had some recall work on the charging system carried out in June 2021.
