What will happen when they do sell, and sell like crazy? Will your head explode?

The tesla demand is pushing bmw to go more mainstream with electrics but they are gritting their teeth in resistance, hoping and betting on tesla to fail at model 3. Will be interesting.  |
More fake news, the i3 sells like crazy in other markets. Some people have to wait months to get one.

plus, they aren't willing to deal on the i3. when i was exploring leases, it was as much as a gas/diesel three series. no thanks.

You went to the wrong dealer(s). CPO's are an even better deal, I paid less than $18k for my EE i3, a carbon fibre car for less than $20k!
As for the looks, I love them. They can be ugly in the wrong color(s) and stock. Just a few easy mods go a long way (springs, spacers, tint, etc).

Yet they do profit from each and every one of them, google the Munro & Associates tear down of the car.

Well thats as far as I could get without quoting every single post as wrong. {People} just chatting about something they have ABSOLUTELY no knowledge about.
This is why I do not frequent this type of car forum much anymore, just a bunch of keyboard cowboys shooting at the hip (or hands) about things they have no real knowledge on.
I have said it before and I will say it again, I get so tired of defending this car. Its amazing and if you can't see it then you obviously haven't experienced as I have. We have two and have had 3 (first one was a lease).
My leased REx
My CPO EE BEV (not lowered yet)
