BMW i3 review
Having set a standard in electric vehicles for a decade, the i3 has reached it's final stretch, making it the last chance to get your hands on the ground breaker.
We’re open for business over Christmas! (We are closed Xmas, Boxing and New Year’s Days and from 2pm Xmas and New Year’s Eve)
The i3 was a trend-setter in the industry, one of the first mass-market fully electric cars, and certainly one of the first on offer from one of the 'big-three' luxury brands in Europe. An early adopter of the green revolution, the i3's unique and stylish design brings an almost futuristic feel and it's battery is capable of producing both attractive economy figures and impressive power.
Don't let the i3's understated appearance fool you, the standard i3 model will go from 0-62mph in just 7.3 seconds and has an attractive 170hp.

Overall, the i3 gives huge competition to the Nissan Leaf, Kia e-Niro, Renault Zoe and the VW e-Golf.
Stepping into the i3 is like being in a space-capsule, with large high-res screens covering the dashboard and a wide centre screen with digital display providing the means for many of the car’s internal features.
The lightweight, almost blade-like seats wouldn’t look amiss in a science fiction film while the deep, sumptuous dash is truly enticing.
There’s also an extremely usable infotainment system with a 10 inch display and iDrive touch controller, meaning you don’t have to resort to touchscreen alone.
And with zero emissions, there’s just a 1% Benefit in Kind company car tax rate for the year 2021/22.

There is a whole plethora of options and trim levels available for the i3, allowing you to choose your level of sportiness, luxury and equipment.

When you lease a BMW i3, you get a futuristic family hatchback that’s full of technology and ultra-modern design features. But you also get the super-efficient electric motor and battery that allows you to drive around town in near-silence and without a single tailpipe emission. But the tech doesn’t just save the planet; it will also save you, thanks to driver assistance technology designed to keep you safe on the road. If you’re wondering which i3 you should choose, take a look at our model description at the top of this page.
Leasing a BMW i3 puts you behind the wheel of one of the most high-tech cars on sale today, and that not only makes it environmentally friendly, but it also ensures passenger safety. In the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) crash test, it received a solid four-star rating, and BMW has fitted plenty of gizmos to ensure accidents never happen in the first place. So the i3 is safe, but it’s also spacious, with enough room to carry four in comfort and space for their luggage in the boot.
A BMW i3 leasing deal allows you to choose between the i3 and i3s models, with the latter trading a little bit of range for a dose of extra performance. Both come with much the same design and interior technology, though, so you know any version of the BMW will have bags of technology and a glorious interior. There’s plenty of standard equipment, and if you so wish, you can upgrade your car with a handful of optional extras to add a little more luxury.
I could not recommend Select enough and the amazing service I had from my consultant Shane Newton. Shane regularly updated me on progress of my new vehicle, and was always so helpful in answering any queries I had regarding my order throughout the whole process - no question was silly - he always responded promptly whether that be through email or phone call. I just received my new vehicle last week, and Shane was in contact right away to ensure the handover was seamless and that I was happy with my new vehicle! Needless to say I was very happy with the earlier than anticipated delivery - Christmas has came early! This is my second vehicle with Select and yet another excellent service. I could not fault anything and want to thank Shane once again for all of his help!
Never leased a car before this and the staff were so helpful and friendly. They helped me through the process and kept in regular contact to make sure everything was going OK. Were able to answer all my questions and were personalised with their customer service. I felt like we were having conversations rather than being a number going through a box ticking exercise.
My second lease via Select. David has dealt with my order and been very helpful and responsive throughout. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend!
