First Public Sighting of an i3 with the REx Option

It looks like we have the first pictures of an i3 with the REx option. According to Drive Arabia, this photo was taken in Dubai recently. Speculation is the i3 is there to conduct hot weather testing. 

In the photo you can see the open port above the front wheel. I've never seen any i3 photo with a fuel door there. Every picture and video I've seen to date shows only one door and it's about six inches above the rear passenger side wheel. If you look closely at this picture you can see the outline of the small door there. I believe this is the door to the charge port and the opening you see above the front wheel is where gas will go for the optional gas range extender (REx). 

This i3 looks like it's pretty close to production beneath the swirly camouflage. Hopefully we'll get a peek at what's under there sometime soon!

Rumor: BMW i3 to cost between $43,000 and $49,700

According to automobilwoche.de the i3, BMW’s first entry into the EV market will be priced similarly to the current entry level 5-Series, somewhere between €35,000 - €40,000 ($43,000 - $49,700US).

This isn't really a surprise since BMW CEO Norbert Reithofer previously said the i3 will be priced less than a five series. Given the current five series starts at about $48,000, this price range seems in line with those comments. If you look below at my previous post below, you'll see the poll I started that asks "What would you pay for an i3?" It seems the poll results are very close to what I expect the i3 pricing to start at, which is right around $45,000.

Modern Classic - 2001 BMW Z8 Roadster

We have a modern classic in our showroom right now, and what beautiful car penned by Henrik Fisker. Here we have an E52 2001 BMW Z8 Roadster with around 28,000kms using the S62 4.9L V8 Engine from the E39 M5 Sedan at the time. The S62 BMW V8 was the first to use the Double Vanos technology on an eight cylinder. This car produces 400 horsepower and 370lb/ft of torque and electronically limited top speed of 250km/h. The Production of the BMW Z8 started in 1999 and ended November 2002. Have a look at our full gallery inside.

I Think I found the location of Navigation System in this car.

As it turns out the actual text based navigation system is hidden underneath a panel.

It looks like a pillow, but it is actually a car storage cover.
