BMW i Series 2017

FROM
$23,100

The 2017 BMW i Series range of configurations is currently priced from $23,100.

Our most recent review of the 2017 BMW i Series resulted in a score of 7.5 out of 10 for that particular example.

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. Unfortunately, the pure electric car will be, for the foreseeable future, hamstrung by the lack of infrastructure... and a lack of interest at both a government and a corporate business level in providing said infrastructure.

BMW i Series 2017 FAQs

How long does a BMW 330e PHEV's battery pack last?

The 330e is a plug-in hybrid (PHEV), so it has a petrol engine and a smaller battery pack than a full EV (which runs exclusively on battery power). That means the BMW’s battery should be less expensive to replace if it ever needed to be.

At the moment, the world is waiting to find out how long EV batteries last, but it’s looking like between 10 and 20 years is going to be the magic number. A lithium-ion battery like this one will last longer if it’s never over-charged and is cycled regularly rather than left sitting for long periods.
