![]() ![]() The regen feels strong, but calibrated exceptionally well, providing a seamless transition from "E-Power" to "Charge." What also feels strong is the acceleration, and candidly, it's quite surprising. For starters, the i3 has a fantastic one-pedal driving system. Having driven many EVs ranging from the first-gen Nissan Leaf to the Model 3 Long Range, I can confidently declare that the i3 drives more on par with a Tesla than anything else. Ending on a positive note, the cabin layout feels very spacious, and the large windscreen provides a great viewing area. While it may add weight and, I concede, not exactly essential, it would be nice to have a power option for a driver sharing with another person. What should be expected on a $50,000 car is power seats, and this feature is not even an option. Keyless entry, power-folding mirrors, and heated textile seats are standard, and frankly, expected on a car priced at nearly $50,000 new. The doors create a satisfying "thud" when closing, and I especially dig the front frameless door windows. Overall, everything feels quite substantial, specifically the turn signal stock and the drive selector. Regardless, any "World" will have the same layout and look premium. This i3 includes the "Mega World" model, so it does not have that distinct posh slab of eucalyptus wood instead, it has a rather dull graphite-colored piece of trim. Up to 100% of the textiles are emanated from recycled fibers. According to BMW, 25% of the interior materials are derived from recycled plastics. The interior is a great place to stay, and the material quality is superb. Ever since 2014, the BMW i3 has had an upscale, bespoke interior. ![]() Interior:Īfter I inundated you with the specifics of the trim situation, I transpose this review to something more lucid. Like the "S" trim, models with this package will generally sell for a few thousand more than ones without it. Included in this package is ACC Stop & Go, BMW Active Driving Assistant, automatic high beams, a real-time navigation system, and a garage door opener system. Visually, the Tech Package is characterized by a larger infotainment screen without a gray plastic border. Besides the incredibly peculiar trim level names, the Technology Package option is straightforward. The interior trim names are derived from data storage sizes, like "Deka or Giga World." The more premium materials are present in the higher levels, like the Tera World Package with Vernasca Leather. The four trims essentially contain a different array of materials and color combinations. Adding a further complication to the buying process, four interior trim levels and an optional technology package are available. ![]()
