That’s the new larger “I” version surely? I wasn’t aware that the i3 was going up... it’s already top dollar but a superb car.BMW will be adding a whopping £10k to the cost of their basic i3 model come Jan 01st next year. It's a great car but how prohibitive is that for families wanting to go electric/green! I've got a family of four and a dog, so even that would be too small, so on the lookout for an estate that could cope with European travels. What am I looking at, £50k? Might as well spend a quarter of that in the 2nd hand market and get a decent petrol model for five years or so. As much as I'd like to 'help the planet', financially it isn't feasible.
It’s farcical also that an EV which is over the £40k threshold falls into the higher tax category so the company i3s I drove for two years (absolutely superb) was circa £400 per year in road tax... farcical because it was super economical and clearly not a gas guzzling Chelsea Tractor
