the new electrick bmw i3
 

The range extender seems totally retarded.

very nice car....

I was hoping for something nice but that car just looks retarded.

BMW, with all of it's experience in making beautiful sports cars... Can't produce an electric car that doesn't look retarded?

bmw lately goes own the drain

The electric car world has a very long way to go to catch up to the grace and style of Tesla.

Bad design indeed.

Electric range in km - [190]
Electric range (mean customer value) in km - [130-160]

whats mean customer value?

What it will actually do, as opposed to what it can do if you roll the thing down a hill for 190km...

looks like a Kia

Then there is no point to show the first one :)

Perhaps, they are trying to perfect the mechanics, before going for the styling ?:2 cents:

Back lights look nice, doors opening that way suck.

They should take a page from the tesla playbook and use the electric motors to make a m3 that totally flies. Fuck the range extender and commit. Lugging a fucking lawnmower engine around must reduce the range on the regular batteries so why do it?

bmw are for small time drug dealers wanna be :)

plenty much work for car industry and designers......till i'll such a fucking E-car

Somehow looks cool. But 190 km range sucks.:321GFY

"Hey, it's electric so lets make it fucking ugly."

In the UK, 190k is plenty for most people.

looks nice

Very nice car :pimp

Looks like a good car for a young adult.

It's really nice car for people who live in the city only.

i hope it holds a charge better than my lithium ion weedeater...

Amazing car

hmmmm nice....

One of the big issues I see with electric cars right now is that they often want you to rent/lease the battery for a montly fee.. a fee so high that you can drive tons of miles in a gas car for the money before you even begin to charge the battery.

that page really isn't holding back on the emotional appeals. Sheesh. All it's missing is a pic of mom.

If you install too many free apps does it start to run slower?

Yeah, I don't get that either. Tesla is the number selling car in rich are codes in the US. Umm do some research and find out that high performance and cool sell. Not that BMW wouldn't know that???

Coffee Table
 

It makes a nice Coffee Table after I run over it with my 5000lb SUV :)

Isn't tesla another level? Like comparing BMW 3 series with Aston martin or something like that?

The interior of the Tesla was no great shakes. The car freaking rocks but any fully electric car is going to be the bomb versus gas. Instant torque, less moving parts, engines for each wheel, etc. So we are talking about things that the BMW would have too. I think Tesla really has a huge advantage in the battery as that is the only thing that makes sense.

I think once bmw enters, then your looking at electric cars now being a big deal.

on one side it looks less like other bmw's. but mabe thats a good thing as its moving to a new modern look. more space age.

So this BMW is close in terms of price to Tesla? :upsidedow
As far as I assumed most of those electric cars were/are way cheaper than tesla.
