BMW i3

I'm waiting for the charge vs run times to improve, when they do, I'm all ears.

I can't say I like the look of it though @///Munson , I do think you've been hit with "spending too much time with an ugly chick" syndrome.

It goes like this:

Remember when you were younger and lets say you went on a family holiday.. You see this girl there, you're with your family bored, she's about your age, so you try to make friends. You make friends easily, largely because you don't consider the girl to be attractive so you're not nervous or anything.

Anyway, by the end of the holiday, you're actually quite attracted to the girl and have probably tried your best to cop a feel in the pool when no one was watching.

That's the i3.

It's a horrible looking thing, but during the time you spent with it, you quite liked a lot of things about it, so now it's attractive to you.

So does a massively fat bird with a massive wart in the middle of her forehead.

Doesn't make them attractive.

I'm all for variety of design, not everything needs to look like a Korean shopping-box, but that doesn't mean they need to look like a secondary school project designed on an an etch-a-sketch then left on a radiator for a week either.

It's proper munting, sorry. But once the haters can give it epic lowz and some M-Sport wheels, it'll be the prize ride of every ching dealer in Chelsea....

LOL. Worth reading this thread just for those posts.

I still think sparky cars a way off yet, I got an email through last week saying I may be getting an electric van through next year.. FML.

Loving the random hate comments. Same s**t different thread.

On a serious note - do electric motors have any sort of lubrication? Can you start them up and drive flat out without consequence? Because that would be pretty ideal for a commuting car IMO.

Just watched a review and acceleration video on YouTube. I quite like the styling and damn that looks quick!

There are no transmission losses to account for on battery operated cars, if its 200bhp, its 200bhp. No less.

Test driving one of these on Wednesday. Really looking forward to it.

Lol sorry Ian. I was under the impression this club was comprised largely of motoring enthusiasts. You know, those folk who tend to share an interest in cars.

Next time I'll send you a draught for pre-approval before starting any threads. "How do I breathe AND stand up at the same time" is perhaps a more fitting topic for CS?

Im glad you have noticed your eyesight is failing you and maybe old age is creeping in.This car will be perfect for you it seams in a few short years.Oh and good luck with the breathing and standing up im rubbish at it...lol
