Electric

This 2014 BMW i3 Range Extender is exactly the kind of early i3 that shows why BMW s first dedicated electric car has developed such a following. Finished in Ionic Silver Metallic with BMW i Frozen Blue accents, it has the unmistakable look BMW created specifically for the i division futuristic without trying to imitate anything else in the lineup, and still immediately recognizable more than a decade later. Inside, this example is equipped with the desirable Giga World interior featuring Cassia Natural Leather paired with Carum Spice Grey Wool Cloth. It is one of the combinations that made the i3 cabin so distinctive in the first place, mixing premium materials with the lighter, more architectural design philosophy BMW used throughout the car. Rather than feeling like a conventional BMW interior with an electric drivetrain underneath it, the i3 was designed from the ground up to feel different. This example is also nicely optioned with the Technology + Driving Assistant Package, Giga World, heated front seats and DC Fast Charging capability. The additional technology equipment makes this a particularly attractive configuration for someone who wants more than a basic commuter-spec i3, while DC Fast Charging adds another level of everyday usability for an early-generation EV. The engineering underneath the i3 is arguably even more interesting than its design. BMW developed the car around a carbon-fiber-reinforced passenger cell, an aluminum chassis and a rear-mounted electric motor driving the rear wheels. That lightweight construction was extraordinarily ambitious for a mass-produced vehicle at the time and remains unusual today outside considerably more expensive performance and exotic cars. This is the Range Extender version, meaning the electric drivetrain is supplemented by BMW s compact gasoline generator when additional range is needed. The wheels remain electrically driven, preserving the immediate throttle response and smoothness of an EV while giving the driver additional flexibility beyond the battery-only version. BMW also gave the i3 legitimate BMW character. With its rear-wheel-drive layout, low-mounted battery and compact dimensions, it feels light and responsive around town rather than heavy and isolated. The tall greenhouse provides excellent visibility, the compact exterior makes parking easy, and the rear-hinged rear doors and upright cabin design make surprisingly efficient use of the available space. The i3 has also become increasingly interesting from an enthusiast and design perspective. BMW spent enormous resources creating a dedicated carbon-fiber EV platform at a time when most manufacturers were still experimenting with electrification. Very few vehicles before or since have combined this level of unconventional construction, design and engineering in a compact production car. For someone looking for a used BMW i3 Range Extender in Sacramento, this Ionic Silver Metallic example stands out with its Giga World leather-and-wool interior, Technology + Driving Assistant Package, heated seats and DC Fast Charging. It represents one of the more desirable specifications of BMW s groundbreaking first-generation EV and a fascinating piece of BMW s transition into the electric era.
