If you're searching for a 2016 BMW i3 for sale in Santa Ana, CA, your search ends here at ALSBOU MOTORS - SANTA ANA. This sleek gray hatchback is a standout example of BMW's forward-thinking electric vehicle lineup, combining German engineering with eco-conscious driving in one of the most unique and capable EVs ever produced. With 58,478 miles and the rare Range-Extended (REx) powertrain, this i3 offers the freedom of electric driving without the range anxiety that holds so many buyers back. ===== About This 2016 BMW i3 Range Extender ===== This 2016 BMW i3 REx is one of the most compelling used EVs available in Orange County. The Range Extender model adds a small two-cylinder gasoline engine that acts as a generator it doesn't drive the wheels, but it does recharge the battery on the go, giving you a meaningful buffer when you need to travel beyond a standard charge. At just over 58,000 miles, this i3 sits comfortably within a mileage range that still leaves plenty of life in both the electric drivetrain and the supplemental REx system. The gray exterior gives it a modern, refined look that pairs perfectly with BMW's distinctive angular body design. ===== 2016 BMW i3 Performance and Engine ===== ==== Electric Power with Real-World Confidence ==== The 2016 BMW i3 REx is powered by a range-extended electric drivetrain producing 168 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. That torque is delivered instantly a hallmark of electric motors making acceleration from a stop surprisingly brisk and responsive. The i3 sprints from 0 to 60 mph in around 7 seconds, which feels quicker in real-world traffic because of that immediate throttle response. The 1-speed direct-drive transmission means there are no gear changes, no hesitation, and no mechanical complexity between you and the road. Power goes directly to the rear wheels, giving the i3 a rear-wheel-drive balance that BMW drivers have always appreciated. Whether you're navigating Santa Ana surface streets or merging onto the 5 or the 55 freeway, this drivetrain handles it with ease. ===== BMW i3 Features and Interior ===== ==== A Cabin Unlike Any Other BMW ==== Step inside the i3 and you'll immediately notice how different it feels from a conventional car. BMW built the i3's interior with sustainability in mind kenaf plant fiber door panels, eucalyptus wood trim, and recycled materials throughout give the cabin a premium, conscientious feel. The open-pore design and coach-style rear doors create a sense of space that defies the i3's compact exterior footprint. The 2016 i3 features BMW's iDrive infotainment system with a crisp central display, Bluetooth connectivity, navigation, and smartphone integration. The driver gets a clean digital instrument cluster showing charge level, range, and energy flow in real time. Heated front seats, automatic climate control, and a panoramic glass roof (on most configurations) round out a surprisingly upscale ownership experience for a city-focused EV hatchback. ===== BMW i3 Reliability and Ownership ===== ==== What Owners and Experts Say ==== The BMW i3 has earned a strong reputation for reliability, particularly when it comes to the electric drivetrain itself. Electric motors have far fewer moving parts than internal combustion engines, which translates to lower maintenance costs and fewer mechanical failures over time. Owners consistently report minimal issues beyond routine tire rotations and brake inspections and even brake wear is reduced thanks to regenerative braking. The REx system does add a layer of mechanical complexity compared to the pure BEV version, but it has proven dependable in real-world ownership when properly maintained. Battery degradation on the 2016 i3 is generally modest most owners report retaining a strong majority of range even&gt;
