BMW i3: Model History and Buyer’s Guide

Shopping for a used electric vehicle, or EV, can be tricky. While EVs are spiking in popularity, they still only represent about 2% of all vehicles sold in the U.S., according to a recent study by Pew Research. So you won’t find a ton of used EV listings on Craigslist or Autotrader.
Further compounding matters, EV technology is evolving at a rapid clip. That means many EVs on the used market are woefully out of date. Worse, their battery packs are aging, and it’s not yet clear how long they’ll last before it’s time for an expensive replacement.
But one particular EV model bucks most of these trends: the BMW i3. In this guide, we’ll explain why we think the i3 is a great EV to buy used.
Introduction
- Innovative design featuring lightweight carbon-fiber reinforced plastic
- Upholds BMW’s fun-to-drive spirit
- Eight-year production run (2014-2021)

2015 BMW i3 REx Lease Takeover $100
Electrifi381
Original MSRP around $53k (capparis white w/Tera, etc.)
One year left on lease (through March 2018)
Car has more than 17,000 lease miles left
Monthly is under $100 (not a typo!)
MSDs of $700 (refunded at lease end)
Asking for best offer over $3,000 to takeover. Net lease cost will be around $300/month if exactly $3,000. There’s nothing comparable value-wise and we have two i3’s. Bmw application fee and shipping are your responsibility.
Please let me know if there are any questions. Great for someone wanting the EV experience or awaiting greater EV competition in 2018, i.e., Model 3, Bolt, i3 (rumored LCI), etc.

You are asking to be paid to get out of a lease?

I guess it depends on perspective. If the rule of thumb is 1% of msrp, a $300 monthly for 17,000 miles over 12 months handily beats the standard.

I guess it depends on perspective.
Any way you put it - @baconbacon is right. But someone may happily take it over for $300.

Hmmm. I’m not sure if you guys are purposely ignoring the fact that you can’t find a comparable deal on leasetrader or swapaleasee. You certainly can’t get a new i3 REx for this type of value and anyon
