This blog’s title may seem hyperbolic, but once you visit BMW of Silver Spring and test drive a BMW i3 near Bowie, MD, we think you’ll agree that the verb “redefines” is on the mark. This groundbreaking, electric-powered hatchback is first and foremost eco-friendly, but it’s also equal parts spacious (plenty of room for four passengers), powerful, agile, and practical. It’s also quite unique in terms of design, with an unmistakable silhouette and a cabin that give new meaning to the word “progressive”.
The BMW i3 can run on pure electricity, or you can add an available gasoline generator that ups this dashing car’s range even further. Commonly considered a “city car”, the BMW i3 is at its best when it’s used for short to medium-length jaunts, with an estimated range of 81 all-electric miles between battery charges. With the gas generator you can almost double this range to around 150 miles. This futuristic car comes in three futuristically-named trims: the entry-level BMW i3 Mega World, the mid-range BMW i3 Giga World, and the premium BMW i3 Tera World.
All three trims are outfitted to the 9's with pristine equipment. The BMW i3 Mega World offers a leather-wrapped tilt/telescoping steering wheel, 19-inch alloy wheels, heated front seats, Bluetooth phone/audio, navigation, and a sound system with satellite and HD radio. The BMW i3 Giga World adds upgraded interior upholstery and trim, keyless ignition and entry, and unique 19-inch alloy wheels, while the BMW i3 Tera World gets its own unique 19-inch wheels along with full leather upholstery and some special cabin materials.
