Do you see them as “part of the club! Or some weird cousin you don’t want to be associated with? For the record, I’ve owned many a BMW and the steering is as good as the pinnacle of BMW steering. (The E46, in my humble opinion.)
M850i here. Friend has the i3. It’s very much a BMW. Both of ours say carbon core 😊 It has a different purpose and it serves that purpose very well. Vastly superior quality to most EV/hybrids. Very reliable and last a long time.
Best friend has one. Drives great. Handles well. A little bummercode gets you turning on the generator at anytime which means 2 gallon of gas can get you up to 120miles plus the battery range you already has in the car.
I like the i3. Drives well. My ex-wife refused to ride in it and thinks that it’s the ugliest car made.
