    It isn’t every day that BMW launches a new brand. In fact the last time it happened was in 2001 when MINI was created. And it could be argued that this is even more revolutionary than that. The new all-electric BMW i3 is a landmark in BMW’s mission to provide a completely sustainable, electric vehicle [...]

    Interesting advertising writeup. Good job!

    I would have to buy one of these in my local city area, I would run out of charge going to either big BMW dealer here in Colorado.

    I see some Paceman DNA in the design, I wonder how soon we will see an E-Paceman.

    I like the concept, I am not sure I would spring 45K, for this unless it was heavily subsidized by the manufacturer/dealer or the government to make it attractive.

    Overall I do like the idea and the long term future affect of an all electric vehicle, I want my Grand Kids Kids to be able to breath and enjoy being outdoors.

    Do you think these will be offered in a separate dealership area? Also, did I miss the cost of the charging station and the installation cost of same. I suspect your looking at 60K for the wonderful experience of owning one of these new BMW e-machines.

    Maybe I will hold out for my Alfa Romeo 4C, only 1 year away now!
