BMW i3

**shimmy** · 18-11-2013, 10:23 PM

Seriously thinking of selling the Mini and putting an order in for the BMW i3.

As far as I can tell.

1. zero rated road tax
2. zero rated company car tax
3. £0.016 to £0.020 per mile to run
4. government grant to help with purchase
5. As fast as a v8m3 from 0-30mph
6. looks cool

Can anybody please advise why it won't be ok for the Mrs school runs, meanwhile the company pool car can be upgraded to something with more bhp

I would wait a while to see reliability before waiting a while at roadside

shimmy, as I posted on PGT, it really is a game changer in terms of value for money as a company car. You could get one of these and a brand new M5 as there are some cracking lease deals on at the mo

I know, just what I was thinking.

i3 as a company car and M5 as a pool car.

Would effectively mean all three cars would run as a business expense, to some.
