    • BMW i3 battery only
    • BMW i3 REx suffered battery failure, no details, yet.
    There is a good reason why we went BMW i3-REx, utility. We have already met the service miles of these BMW i3 BEVs in just under a year. The key to low cost of ownership is to drive a lot of miles. The BMW i3-REx did more miles than the BMW i3-BEV.
