Without getting too far ahead of ourselves, we're probably safe in saying that the i3 was ahead of its time. But considering it was made between 2013-2022 and is the car that spearheaded BMW's launch of its i sub-brand, the i3 is still a remarkably competitive used car in many other ways. It's a compact but pricey hatchback that is up against higher-spec Volkswagen ID.3s, the less prestigious Hyundai Kona and Kia Soul, as well as the Citroen e-C4. With the exception perhaps of the ID.3, the BMW feels more special and bespoke than any of those rivals. That's not to say it's better – but it does feel more up-to date than any car that's been around as long as this one has any right to.One of the key differences between the i3 and its rivals is its exotic construction, and partial reason for its modernity. It uses materials more usually found in supercars than city cars. The i3 is made from a mixture of lightweight aluminium for the chassis and carbonfibre-reinforced plastic for some structural parts and body panels.It's a simple model range, with just two versions to choose from. Buyers can opt for the 170hp i3 or the sportier 184hp i3s model, both of which have what BMW describes as a 120Ah battery, which equates to 42.2kWh. This storage capacity puts it well behind most of its rivals, though it's fairly close to the entry-level 45kWh Volkswagen ID.3 or the 50kWh Citroen e-C4.
