Buying the 2020 BMW i3
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2020 BMW i3 for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Buying the 2020 BMW i3 is a big decision; here is the information we have.
A buyer's checks
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year.
The figures, translated
Its powertrain is the 0.6L 2-cylinder hybrid 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.
The combined figure, 7.7 L/100 km, means roughly 23 litres for 300 km. It can cover about 322 km on electricity before switching to gas. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $35.82 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,650 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
How big it is
As a small car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. EPA lists 425 litres of luggage space, enough for 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.
A longer test drive
Rent the i3 for a week and see how it fits your life. Try the i3 on your commute, then decide. A week with the i3 answers more than any brochure.
Money matters
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Picking a year and a trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Ready when you are
