The BMW i3 is a cool little electric hatchback -- but it's not worth $50,000. Today I'm reviewing the i3 to show you why it isn't worth what BMW is charging -- and I'm going to show you all the quirks and features of this i3 with the range extender.

When this car first came out, I found it weird looking. Now after seeing the latest BMW design orientation, I think it's a cool looking city car. Maybe the design was ahead of its time, for once.
No it wasnt ...ugly and a piece of crap
No it wasnt, the design is horrible. Looks like a cheap car. Whoever paid for this are dumb as fuck and have no taste in cars.
it indeed is a very cool city car, but tbh i suggest that people get the range extended version when looking to buy one since you can really use that 2 cylinder "generator" in case you want to go on road trips, i find it very fascinating how it is possible to go on long roadtrips in this car with the generator if it does actually like charge the battery as you go along when its low

In Norway, a country with extreme car and gas prices, strict parking regulations and tolls everywhere, this only costs $35,000. And, for electric cars, the tolls are free. And you can drive in bus lanes (which are also everywhere). And ferries are free (which are also everywhere). And public parking is free. And public charging is free. And electric cars don't (or hardly) depreciate. Try to guess why electric cars have more than 20 % of the total car sales in Norway.

Good one, is that the CarMax Bumper to Bumper?
Jabba No, it’s the Aston Martin certified, pre-owned warranty.
Most Highson yeah. but it is very reliable from 2 months of ownership onwards (you have to deal with minor repairs/annual service regularly; the only major issue is when your Vantage ends up making squeal noises in the same alleyway your 1997 Dodge Viper GTS breaks in) is and a great daily driver for practicality and many road trips, even good for a 6,522-mile long cross-country trip.
Yeah but then you have to sell it after 11 months because no one can afford the repairs on a old Aston Martin

SDD525 when only Bridgestone makes the tires, the price isn’t so cheap, and it goes through tires too quick from what I hear.
I thought the wheels looked ridiculous...but compared to a model T, they seem less so. Maybe our current idea of normal is ridiculously oversized. Try driving a wide tired car in the snow. Narrow tires are actually better, and electric cars are more efficient with all-wheel drive (wish the i3 was).

@@TRACKSTARRR The A class interior is a tacky plasticky mess. The i3 uses extremely premium materials. Now a mazda interior, I would argue is far better. But the i3 has a modern and spacious interior with a good amount of style and functionality. Equipped properly, it is a good place to spend time.

Do people just willingly lend their cars to Doug so their vehicles can be roasted by this guy? Hmmm
Ky tuuuuro. Some viewers do lend them and hopefully you know the weak points of your car going in. If you notice he doesn’t get press cars which is where I hope to someday as a reviewer but right now it’s the best way.
He also rents them as he did with this one
Allan Overton good point- this one was a Turo car too. I may have to start doing that, because they’re some great cars on Turo around here.
The reason this thing is so ugly and overpriced is because BMW doesn't actually want to you buy it. It only exists so it can help reduce BMWs CAFE(Corporate Average Fuel Economy) so they will meet possible upcoming regulations. They want to sell as few of these as possible so they don't have to equip every dealership and train every technician to service these.
This actually isn’t a compliance car, like the 500e or Focus EV. BMW makes money on these, and it requires very little warranty work compared to their gas counterparts. Easy money, and it brings down their avg CO2. Win win win.
D Hill You sir are unintelligent.
While his reply was lacking decorum, he is right, go to Europe and you will see the difference in car choices.
Alex James he is right ...
Don't forget choosing carbon chassis...doubt the $ justifies the weight for range savings.
I had one. I drove it for 2 years and I put $15 worth of gas in it over those 2 years. It was a CPO so whenever I went on long trips, I was able to rent a car (with an ICE) that BMW paid for up to 4 times per year. Never needs an overpriced BMW oil change, brakes are rarely used, so they last forever. I bought mine used for $18K with 2,000 miles on it and I sold it for $16,600 (back to BMW). It was absolutely worth it. NEVER BUY ANYTHING NEW!!!
That's cool, man! I agree, the regenerative braking is aggressive
Sorry for asking, but whats an "ICE" and "CPO"? I didnt really understand your comment but im interested
ICE = Internal Combustion Engine
CPO = Certified Pre-Owned
jhawk1977 And why did BMW pay for car rent?
Because it was a CPO and they knew/know the infrastructure isn't there for me to make a long trip. Therefore, they would pay for a rental. You can't just buy a used i3 and expect this. It must be a CPO.
as an i3 owner, you forget that the range extender gets unlimited miles. The range extender gives you an additional 100km/hr per filling of a few liter of gasoline. You will outrange any other electric car without range extender.
I've driven many if these at my job and gotta tell ya, the traction control is the worst of any car I've driven
It's not a pure electric car if you put gas in it.
so basically, putting gas in a car amkes it go until the gas runs out? where have i heard that before?
@@blopguy249 This is one way of looking at it. The other is, even if your battery is empty you can continue for as long as you want but adding a small amount of Gas every 100 km till you can charge the battery again. You do not constantly have to look out for a charging station as your battery gets low. You can continue driving as the Gas engine buffer-charges the battery.
@@JSVideoUTube I get it, the point I was trying to make is that it just becomes a gas car with extra steps
Does it run Black Ops 4?
Only the electro nut version
Maybe with an i5
It’s a car not a intel i3 processor

I purchased a two year old model with 18,000 miles for $20,000. It came with the range extender and is the best purchase I have ever made. I have had it for almost 2 years now and it is a fantastic car! Super fun to drive, quick and I haven't purchased gas in over a year. Go on hating and enjoy your gas bill.
Doug is the type of guy that asks everyone to put on their seat belts before he puts the key in the ignition
firefoxmoz when you go to Driver's Ed it literally says that in the course. So nothing is wrong with doing that
firefoxmoz is the type of guy that thinks you put the key in the ignition of an i3
@Cassette Walkman LMFAO that's great bro. You got me rolling this morning
Been waiting for this comment
6:16 That big wheel/narrow tire combo is actually very good for heavy snow. Narrower tires cut through the snow better to keep the tire surface in contact with the road :)
I thought exactly the same thing.
>has 155 width tires
>" I remember that number for some reason..."
>checks my notes
>the 1965 Ford Mustang that my grandfather restored has 155 width tires
That is wild.
EDIT: I take it back, as it has the GT wheels. As a result it has 215s. In other news, my grandfather recently purchased a ‘63 Dodge Dart with the 270 slant 6. That has 175s.
A 60’s economy car has wider tires than a new BMW that you would pay $50k for. Unbelievable.
But if he had 19” wheels that would have been REALLY wild!
Still would rather have the mustang, at least it has actual value in it
a 50k car with poor people tires. possibly expensive tires too because they arent really used by sane people who arent car collectors XD
There are some bicycles that approach the realm of that tire width
@@quarkonium3795 my spare donut in my Dodge Caravan is more impressive.
Its a crime that the next Bmw 1 series will be front wheel drive
“The wheels are the weirdest thing about the side profile of the car”
**quickly glances at barf blue baby shark doo-doo-doo-doo wheels**
**looks back at Doug**
Your Description is 120% Accurate
he said the wheels were plasti dipped though (i.e. done by the owner not BMW) so he was ignoring them
Me and my family have the bmwi3 and We have had it for 2 1/2 years now but we love it perfect city car

I'm having flashbacks of the mitsubishi mirage
lol same
@@theincrediblehulk2865 but this one is like 100 times uglier XD
the chevy bolt literally has all these feature, looks way better, has a way longer range, and costs half the price.
The bolt has 2X the electric range, but this has a gasoline back-up that has unlimited range as long as you add gas. The Bolt costs more after incentives and with similar equipment.
yeah you definitely buy an ELECTRIC CAR for it's backup GAS engine. Any gas car has unlimited range as long as you fill it up! And what are you smoking to think that the bolt costs more than the i3?? The highest price bolt is cheaper thna the lowest priced i3!
You can by new i3s for less than 30K after tax incentives. And you buy hybrid cars for their gas and electric systems goofus. www.greencarreports.com/news/1115302_another-utility-gives-10k-off-bmw-i3-electric-car-sales-backed-by-socal-edison
Tesla model 3 must be the worst electric ever.
"Tesla informed many of its nearly half million reservation holders this month that Model 3 production challenges mean deliveries are taking longer than planned, particularly for the base version. “Standard” Model 3s - i.e., the one that actually costs $35,000 - now go into production in late 2018, rather than the first quarter, Tesla said after posting financial results this month. A lucky few may get one of those cars this year - about 2 ½ years after Tesla started taking deposits - but 2019 or even 2020 look more realistic for the majority of customers."
In Atlanta? Come do a review on my 395,000 mile E39 M5!
Carbon Vlogs stfu bmw fuck
Yikes, Joe.
Jealous of both of you, but glad my e30 325i has made it 200k so far.
Whaat. No way it’s the original engine.
Carbon Vlogs Original timing chain??
My dad owns this car and it's been absolutely perfect for the past 3 years. I love it but I still don't know if it is worth 40000 euros
...it's not.
"Cool and interesting cars like this one" isn't a very good ad for Turo.
Zzyzx Wolfe I think this car is cool and interesting :(

Doug I don't think you pulled that cup holder as hard as you could.
But i bet he pulls himself hard
Clearly something left in the tank. But hey, he was rough enough on this car as it is.
Dude... I can perfectly imagine you as Sheldon Cooper.
50k for a car and plasti dippin' the wheel....really?
My Sneaker Why Not?
kinda hideous
it reminds me of when you buy a brushed aluminum microwave and it has that light blue sticker over it.
lol wat do u mean ''why not'' stop smoking weeed
My Sneaker $50,000 for a car isn't much. I own a Ferrari California that cost me $364,000. If you're a car person like me then you understand why an expensive supercar is worth it.
Doug is the type of guy to signal to the sky that he is turning
I was so sure the Electronaut stickers was the name of some TH-camr that you rented the car from, especially after hearing the wheels were plasti-dipped lol.
Looks ghastly
Same!
At today's reasonable prices, a used i3 for sub-$15 gets you a REALLY fun and funky vehicle, there's no cooler EV/PHEV at that price point. Had mine for a year now and I love it.
Imagine renting out your car and seeing Doug is the one coming to pick it up
This dude needs to clean the back of his steering wheel
He needs to stop whiping his boogers on it
You're the kind of guy to say that the forward facing surface of the steering wheel is the back.
Thought it was my screen for a couple seconds lol
mi777ke777 me too.
"just 170 horsepower". If my commuter car had that effect i could snooze another half-an-hour every morning..
Even a new Corolla hatch back has 170hp so 170hp for 50k is Def probably the worst deal in the market lol
170hp with 150+ mpg and barely enough range to buy groceries without a 72 recharge for the return trip
In europe, on average a car has 100hp. So 170 is a lot for us.
Modelface Photoshop crazy, my BM had 177hp and weighs 1700kg. Americans...
Yeah my SUV has that much and I have zero compliants
Hey thanks, this is actually a great balanced review. Look at that smile when he feels the acceleration. They are a great second hand prospect as you get the fun without the price tag.
Agh those rims are horrible

I agree.
I knowwww dudee i was thinking same thing
So you’re not gonna tell us what the difference between normal English and short Engli-
Maybe its the carbon fiber thats driving up the price?
e luquette both
Zero Accords
Indeed
Carbon fiber, super eco friendly factories it is made on( a plant in Canada that uses only hydro electricity to cook the carbon fiber, a factory in Germany using wind and solar power), recycled materials and etc.
Lol it's not actual carbon fiber, it's some sort of "carbon fiber composite" but its literally essentially plastic
Doge Charger, yes, carbon fiber is just a fiber. Nethertheless, when most people say "carbon fiber" they mean carbon fiber composite.
Design aside, this car is a great deal right now in second hand. Their batteries fare really good even on the 10yr old ones. You get a low mileage with range extender that isn’t too old for 20K EUR in Germany. Kinda considering making my mom buy one xD It’s small and easy to park, not too expensive and tax free.
We got a 2014 with 6 months left on the 8 year warranty. The range was under 80% of what it got new so BMW replaced the entire pack under warranty for us. So we got a brand new battery last year and are set for a decade. BMW honored the warranty as second hand owners on a nearly 8 year old car. That means a lot to me.
@@Tokenomics1 ye bmw gets a lot of hate but they do deliver what they promise, glad you could secure a fresh battery xoxo
I picked up a 2019 off lease for 1/2 off retail. Goes 150 miles on a charge. Great city car. Parks in the spots that most people avoid because they can't fit. Kids fits perfectly in the back.
@@york2600 congrats, may ur battery degrade slower than others, which it will cuz ull take good care of it, merry xmas :)
