*Price Reduction* 2020 BMW i3 i3s Sports model *Excellent Condition*
BMW i3S Sports with Range Extender
The i3S is an upgrade from the regular i3
* The largest battery of the range - 120Ah/42.2kWh
* Increased power and faster acceleration - 135kW vs 125 kW
* Special 20 inch double-spoke wheels, and 20mm wider tires
* Sports suspension – wider track, lowered ride height, different springs/dampeners
* Sport Mode for better throttle response
* Improved ASC traction control 50 times faster
* Range Extender - a petrol generator with 15 litre tank which gives an additional 120km range
The handling of the i3s is way better than the i3 which could feel a bit lightweight, and could easily get blown around on the highway in crosswinds. This is achieved by increasing the track by 40mm, lowering the ride height by 10mm, by using a bespoke suspension and wider 20” tires. The ride is firm but not harsh in normal daily driving.
Range generally shows around 260km when full. We get at least that for urban driving, more like 220km on the open road. Plus the Range Extender gives you an extra 120km, and you could keep topping the petrol tank up to go further if you wanted to. We've rarely had the need to use it.
We've owned this car for nearly 2/12 years. Really fun to drive, great pick up, excellent visibility, very quiet on the road. We bought it from Continental Cars BMW on Wairau Road. There was 1 previous owner.
It's incredibly cheap to run. We have a half-price overnight power deal with Contact which costs 12c per unit. This car uses 15kW/10km which works out to less than $2.50 per 100km.
Due to the Range Extender this car qualifies as a hybrid - it doesn't actually have a petrol engine, just a generator that directly charges the battery. Therefore RUC are $38/1,000km instead of $76/1,000km. This brings the total cost to less than $6.50 per 100km. Compare that to your petrol car!! We also have a 1.6l hatchback that costs around $19 per 100km.
Dual LCD screens - one for the driver, one central one for entertainment, maps, car info etc. Full audio connectivity, voice control, adaptive cruise control, all the regular bells and whistles.
Best way to use leftovers?

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
