Buying the 2020 BMW i3
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2020 BMW i3 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Thinking about the 2020 BMW i3? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
Before you sign for the i3
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
The numbers in plain words
The 0.6L 2-cylinder hybrid is what moves it, with rear-wheel drive. It is a plug-in hybrid: it runs on electricity for a short distance, then on gas like a regular hybrid. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Combined fuel use is 7.7 L/100 km: about 23 litres for 300 km. On electricity alone it is rated for about 322 km before the gas engine takes over. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $35.82 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,650 a year for 15,000 miles.
Space and size
As a small car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. In plain terms, its 425 litres of luggage space hold a family's bags for a long weekend.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Rent it for a week first
Rent first, buy later: a week with the i3 answers the big questions. Rent the i3 first, and buy only if it fits your life. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
What it costs to run
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.94 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,650 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $119.40 at our price setting.
Choosing the right one
Within the 2020 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
