    Is The Used BMW i3 The Best Use Of R 500k On The Current Market?

    In today’s marketplace, buying used cars is an increasingly frequent occurrence for drivers of all backgrounds. After all, we all wish to drive the very best vehicle that our budgets can afford. With a rough guide of anywhere between R450,000 and R600,000 for a 2015 or 2016 model, BMW’s i3 certainly stirs excitement. But is it worth the investment?

    In short: yes it is. For starters, the German manufacturer is a name that you can trust thanks to a rich history that stretches back over a century. In truth, BMW has been a leader in the hybrid and electric car arena for some time. But it’s the individual merits of the i3 that offer motorists with reasons to get excited. 

    If you’re interested in purchasing a BMW i3, then the eco-friendly benefits will clearly be on of the main incentives. The sophisticated German car is far from being the only electric model on the market. However, with a battery-only life of over 110 miles, it’s certainly one of the best. Meanwhile, the hybrid consumptions are equally pleasing. 

    The i3 truly stands out from the crowd, however, due to it’s look and performance. Understandably, it is quite a tall vehicle, especially compared to some of the other models in BMW’s recent ranges. Thankfully, the low position of the battery components means that the performance remains sporty and fun. Better still, the German manufacturer has found a way to combine those fundamentals with its iconic aesthetic appeal.

    Of course, the i3 comes in a variety of colour options, with some of the two-tone varieties working particularly well. Silver with black would be our preference, but most drivers can find a solution to sort their need. Meanwhile, the relatively spacious cabin and panoramic driving views make it a delight. Quite frankly, that level of style is something most electric cars still lack.

    If you’re going to buy a car that’s friendly to the environment, then it should be kind to your wallet too. As already mentioned, you can see change from R500k on a 2015 model while the 2016 versions aren’t much more. Visit http://www.gsmautomotive.com.au/Services to find out about a number of used car upgrades. Your i3 will soon be purring, not that you’d hear it – the car’s minimal sound is particularly pleasing. 

    When buying a vehicle of any kind, there are several boxes to tick. Firstly, the vehicle needs to be safe, aesthetically pleasing, and enjoyable to ride. Moreover, it always pays to have a car that boasts the logo of a prestigious brand. In today’s climate, though, most drivers also take great pride in knowing that their model is great for both the environment and their pockets. Quite frankly, the BMW i3 ticks all of the boxes in emphatic style. This is especially true when going for a recent model from the past couple of years.   

     If you’re looking to invest in a used motor anytime soon, the i3 is a clear winner for the shortlist.

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
