REVIEW

If the scribes of the 1960’s were to be believed, we would all be driving around in electric cars by now, but they are still few and far between on our roads. Some say this is because they are too expensive, we say it’s because they just haven’t embraced the technology available these days to make them truly desirable vehicles. Well now BMW has taken to the fold with the new i3, sinking hundreds of millions of Euros into the development. The i3 has a carbon fibre structure – a first for a city car, along with weight saving measures and the very latest battery and motor tech. This all combines to give a fast, funky looking city car with decent range that you never have to fill up at the pumps. The future may just have arrived… ** Cash alternative: 80% of the ex-VAT UK RRP **
