It is a BMW, so outrageous depreciation is pretty much expected. My $52K i3 with 40K miles and otherwise perfect condition had a book value of $16K after 5 years. Granted, $7.5K was mostly due to the tax credit I got at purchase which really made it a $44.5K vehicle. However, a day after it was worth $16K, the AC self destructed. The over $22K repair quote instantly turned my i3 into salvage, worth $8K. BMW very generously, out of the goodness of their hearts, offered me $2K towards a new BMW. They took no responsibility for the design that failed to include a dryer trap in the AC system which is normally used to prevent such catastrophic damages when a compressor self destructs. Such a trap is even more necessary when the cooling lines run directly through the drive battery. Thanks for the iX1 review. I can't wait to ignore this BMW, like every other BMW from now on. |

Well, sorry to hear that. But I think BMW have come a long way from the rather rudimentary i3 that was more of an experiment back in the day. EVs have evolved a fair bit since then.
While I understand your frustration with the i3, I hope that you give these new-age EVs a chance because after all, they are proper BMWs with great driving abilities which the world has appreciated since time immemorial. :D |
