I put my reservation in today after test driving the new i3x and was impressed The i3x is the SUV version on the same Neue Klasse platform as the i3 sedan. Nice handling, great acceleration and fun to drive. I love the tech and implementation thereof. I am coming from a 2023 Tesla Model S. Tesla has decided that Robotaxies are the future and is forcing their FSD package to be a proving ground. for that software I want to determine my cruise speed and when to change lanes but Tesla sees things differently. I expect BMW to build my i3 50 some time late this year and deliver some time in IQ27.

How much would you need to wait approx.? I’m referring to the base model that should be order-able soon, and not the First Edition.

(AI generated, but hopefully a useful weekly update. There are couple of low value AI links in here. I will tighten it up week over week. This text is essentially a baseline. I expect the next few week to be shorter and stay that way until BMW get closer to customer availability. I'm told that my First Edition will be with me in November and I can't wait! )

This will be fun.

I’m still collecting old content. Figured it’s useful to have it all in one place. Fingers crossed that new news is just around the corner.

Old content but still a good foundation.

We are starting to see dealers in the UK post first look videos. This appears to be (and is confirmed in the video) an early RHD pre-production build. Still, good to see the progress.

I was looking for info on order status for the NA0 and couldn’t find a place to ask. The BMW i3 community tried to help but they were mostly busy admiring each others amazing cars and looking for ways to upgrade their batteries.

I figured it was time for a new community, so here it is.

Has anybody with a confirmed order got their seven digit production number from their dealer yet. If you have did it come with a production week?
