The NEW BMW i3 (Video)

2013 is the year BMW release their i3 fully electric and electric hybrid cars.

I was lucky enough to get a sneak preview on the 7th October at Knight's BMW Stoke-on-Trent.  I was surprised at how large the i3 is.  I was expecting something the size of a new Mini. It's much bigger!  It's a similar size to the Mini Countryman.

I think it looks great from the front and rear.  It also looks good from the side, from the front bumper, until you reach where the front and rear doors meet.  What were BMW thinking?  It would have been nicer if they'd carried on with straight lines from the front door windows to the rear.
