Oh come on man! No need to be so down on it!

I came from a 135is and a Z4 and had two mini coopers before them and absolutely love it !
Yeah, I was a bit too harsh on i3.
Figured a bucket of ice cold water might be worth it for someone who is coming from a 435i.

Funny thing: I also had an MCS, and the i3 replaced it in my garage (after a blown N14).

Lol I hear ya. Theirs pluses and negatives to each, yea the n14 wasn't the best.

Mine had the triteck engine, R53 days

Over 200k miles and still taking it . Crazy !

At least the new ones have a BMW engine vs the outsourced ones ....just can't accept the new design that looks like that of the clown mouth!
