The BMW i3 remains the premium city oddball — carbon tub, optional range extender on older cars, and a cabin that still feels futuristic. Battery capacity and REx history matter; get a proper health report before you fall for the design. We list it from £16,495 (~182 miles in our catalog). Off-peak home charging lands around 1.7p per mile in our sums — run your reg through the calculator to see if that beats what you drive today.
Indicative price from £16,495. Catalog range ~182 miles. Off-peak home charging from about 1.7p per mile in our model.
We use £16,495 as a used starting point in the catalog — what you will actually pay depends on mileage, spec, and whether you buy from a dealer, a broker, or a tired private seller on a rainy Tuesday. Partner links show live stock; our number is for comparison.
We model ~182 miles for side-by-side running costs. Your real figure will be lower at 70 mph, lower still in winter, and higher if you mostly potter around town. Treat it as a benchmark, not a guarantee.
