*Price Reduction* 2020 BMW i3 i3s Sports model *Excellent Condition*
BMW i3S Sports with Range Extender
The i3S is an upgrade from the regular i3
* The largest battery of the range - 120Ah/42.2kWh
* Increased power and faster acceleration - 135kW vs 125 kW
* Special 20 inch double-spoke wheels, and 20mm wider tires
* Sports suspension – wider track, lowered ride height, different springs/dampeners
* Sport Mode for better throttle response
* Improved ASC traction control 50 times faster
* Range Extender - a petrol generator with 15 litre tank which gives an additional 120km range
The handling of the i3s is way better than the i3 which could feel a bit lightweight, and could easily get blown around on the highway in crosswinds. This is achieved by increasing the track by 40mm, lowering the ride height by 10mm, by using a bespoke suspension and wider 20” tires. The ride is firm but not harsh in normal daily driving.
Range generally shows around 260km when full. We get at least that for urban driving, more like 220km on the open road. Plus the Range Extender gives you an extra 120km, and you could keep topping the petrol tank up to go further if you wanted to. We've rarely had the need to use it.
We've owned this car for nearly 2/12 years. Really fun to drive, great pick up, excellent visibility, very quiet on the road. We bought it from Continental Cars BMW on Wairau Road. There was 1 previous owner.
It's incredibly cheap to run. We have a half-price overnight power deal with Contact which costs 12c per unit. This car uses 15kW/10km which works out to less than $2.50 per 100km.
Due to the Range Extender this car qualifies as a hybrid - it doesn't actually have a petrol engine, just a generator that directly charges the battery. Therefore RUC are $38/1,000km instead of $76/1,000km. This brings the total cost to less than $6.50 per 100km. Compare that to your petrol car!! We also have a 1.6l hatchback that costs around $19 per 100km.
Dual LCD screens - one for the driver, one central one for entertainment, maps, car info etc. Full audio connectivity, voice control, adaptive cruise control, all the regular bells and whistles.
