BMW I3 2018

The 2018 BMW I3 range of configurations is currently priced from $45,870. Our most recent review of the 2018 BMW I3 resulted in a score of 7.4 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Managing Editor - Head of Video Matt Campbell had this to say at the time: If you want an electric hatchback that looks like it's from the future, then you should totally look at the BMW i3. There are no real competitors at the moment, and if the Tesla Model 3 production puzzle doesn't sort itself out soon, the i3 could have this part of the market to itself for a while.

BMW I3 2018 Q&As

Check out real-world situations relating to the BMW I3 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

  • 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. A simple standard is being developed in Europe. I can recall the confusion when we switched away from the imperial miles per gallon standard in Australia - the economy number got smaller instead of larger when expressed in L/100 km.
