In 2014, the BMW i3 was a radical $42,000 experiment in carbon-fiber construction and sustainable mobility. Twelve years later, it has become one of the most accessible entry points into electric vehicle ownership, with used prices now frequently dipping to the $8,000 mark.

In this review, Andrew breaks down the engineering that makes the i3 unique—from its Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) passenger cell to its "mad scientist" design choices. We look at why this car was a decade ahead of its time, and how its 22kWh battery holds up for modern daily commuting.
