If you're not yet quite convinced by the electric vehicle revolution and you want a used EV from the 2018-2022 period, then maybe this facelifted version of BMW's i3 could be the car to tempt you. This model is all the things you'd expect a compact EV from this period to be - refined, eco-conscious and super-affordable to run. But it's also surprising when it comes to sheer driving enjoyment thanks in large part to the light weight of a specially developed state-of-the-art carbon-fibre and aluminium chassis. This improved model built on that character with an extra, more focused, i3s variant. It's all part of BMW's rather different approach to EV motoring.

The i3 was originally launched back in 2013 as a first offering from its maker's 'BMW i' all-electric sub-brand into which the Munich manufacturer had ploughed over £2 billion of investment. Futuristic looks were matched with even more sophistication underneath courtesy of a ground-breaking carbon-fibre and aluminium chassis. This made the car lighter than obvious EV rivals and allowed for the installation of an optional 'Range Extender' two cylinder petrol engine for buyers needing to maximise operating range.
