I have 3 BMWs right now. I loved BMWs. But I don't think I will have any in a few years after my leases end. But I do love the i3!

Just like this guy Matt Farah does!

This would be the last BMW I would actually consider... Smiley

Over here, the i3 is basically dead, you can see mostly BMW factory cars or some cars registered to local power companies. Same goes to the i8, haven't seen a single customer car yet over here.

Keep in mind that I live in Bavaria, the home of BMW.

The i3 is ugly, the i8 is too expensive. I think BMW would have better chances if the i3 would look like a regular 3 series or 1/2 series model.

Here in Munich (Bavaria, too) I can see several i3 and i8 every day. I don't know all the number plates which are used by BMW, but I don't think that many of the cars are used by BMW or the dealership.

I was told by our BMW dealer that sales are ok. I would have ordered a i3 but a) the lease is much too high and b) I can't charge the car in my private garage and not in the office. But probably I am not the typical Porsche owner, I prefer the bicycle or public transport to go to the office because I do not like driving in the city at all
