2018 BMW i3

The Sustainable Icon: 2018 BMW i3 94Ah w/ Range Extender
Step into a vehicle that remains a benchmark for forward-thinking urban mobility. This 2018 BMW i3 94Ah is a Clean CARFAX recent arrival that perfectly bridges the gap between pure electric efficiency and long-distance peace of mind. Finished in the sophisticated Imperial Blue Metallic with the minimalist Atelier European Dark Cloth interior, this i3 is a carbon-fiber-reinforced masterpiece designed for the modern Austin lifestyle.

The Range Extender (REx) Advantage
The i3 with Range Extender is a unique solution for those who want to drive electric daily but occasionally need to travel further without stopping to charge.

Pure Electric Commuting: The 94Ah battery provides an EPA-estimated 115 miles of all-electric range, more than enough for several days of typical Austin commuting.

The "Safety Net" Engine: When the battery reaches a low state of charge, a small 0.6L 2-cylinder gasoline engine (the Range Extender) kicks in to act as a generator, maintaining the battery level and extending your total range to roughly 180 miles.

Rapid Charging: Can be charged to 80% in about 40 minutes at a DC Fast Charging station, making it easy to "top off" while grabbing coffee downtown.

Carbon Fiber Architecture: Strength Meets Lightness
The i3 is built unlike any other car on the road, utilizing a Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) Life Module.

Unmatched Safety: The CFRP passenger cell is incredibly strong and stiff, providing superior protection in an accident while being significantly lighter than steel.

Agile Handling: Because the car is so light, it is exceptionally nimble in traffic and offers a surprisingly punchy acceleration feel from its electric motor.

Coach-Style Doors: The rear-hinged back doors provide a wide-open entry to the cabin, making it easy to load gear or passengers without a B-pillar in the way.

Technology & Driving Assistant Package
This i3 is loaded with high-tech features that make navigating busy Texas highways safer and more intuitive.

ACC Stop & Go: The Active Cruise Control manages your speed and following distance, even in stop-and-go traffic on MoPac or I-35, and can bring the car to a complete stop.

Active Driving Assistant: Includes Frontal Collision Warning and Pedestrian Warning with City Braking function, acting as a second set of eyes in urban environments.

ConnectedDrive Services: Provides seamless integration for your smartphone and access to BMWs digital ecosystem.

Advanced Real-Time Traffic: The navigation system uses live data to route you around Austins notorious congestion.

Sustainability in Design: Atelier Interior
The interior of the i3 reflects its eco-friendly mission, utilizing sustainable materials throughout the cabin.

Kenaf Fibers: The door panels and dashboard are crafted from visible Kenaf plant fibers, which are lighter and more sustainable than traditional plastics.

Atelier European Dark Cloth: Provides a modern, textured feel that is durable and remains comfortable during the peak of the Austin summer.

Open Layout: With no transmission tunnel, the flat floor creates a sense of space and allows the driver to easily slide across and exit from the passenger side if parked in a tight spot.
