The BMW i3 can dance

There has been a lot of talk about those skinny tires and if the i3 can even handle a turn at low speed much less at the limit.   Well, think of those tires as wheels on a train.....that's right, the i3 handles like it is on rails.

Back in October of 2013 BMW actually made a video about how well it handles, both the full electric and BEV and REx versions were tested with a professional race car driver, Erin Crocker, behind the wheel.  How do I know.....I was the passenger

BMW released 3 versions or episodes, more are planned but not sure if they will ever be produced....still what is out there gives a decent idea of the i3s capabilities....not to mention I'm still here because it handled so well ;)

BMW i3

Why the BMW i3?  I love driving EVs.  I had a MiniE first then a BMW ActiveE so the next natural step would be the i3, though the i3 earned my respect end of last year....keep in mind, with me diving experience is first, eco is the bonus.  The i3 really is a driver.

All the way back in October, 2013 I had the incredible luck of being picked to whip around Monticello Raceway, with Erin Crocker at the wheel, in a pre-production i3....you can check out the story here at InsideEVs.com or on my previous BMW ActiveE blog at MyActiveE.blogspot.com 

After that 10 hour video shoot day I was really impressed, what an EV and what a car.  I ordered a Solar Orange Giga REx - loaded - it is now on the way to the US.
