I've had my X3 M40i now for over 3 years. Love it. Have just settled the finance as couldn't see another option I wanted / ticked all the boxes.

My wife got rid of her X3 and now has an i3s. I wasn't sure about it when she bought it, but I love it for pottering about. A great city car!

Nothing as posh as the 7er. Look forward to seeing it. Hope all is well with you!

No solar panels. Got if fitted through an approved fitter and got all grants available.

Still expensive....but good to have own charger rather than relying on public ones. And there aren't many of them in Scotland!!!

Full charge takes about 4 hours. Costs £4 and get about 180 miles.

I'm such a magpie. Start the thread wanting the 745, finish the thread wanting the Model 3. And actually have something the height of a Model 3 stacked on a 745 with 'slightly' less performance than either. Oh and mid-thread I wanted an i3.
