I can’t imagine wanting to turn it off. Having had an M235i with stop/start, it pisses me off that the GTI that replaced it does not. I live in the land of the 5-minute traffic light every 1/2 mile.
Those of you being bankrupted by 80's-90's Benzes prior to W140s and W210s either bought poor examples and/or have a combination of the following issues: Don’t DIY and have predatory mechanics, neglect problems and they snowball, don’t know where to purchase reasonably priced parts, are young and/or stupid.
Want to sell more sedans?
Neither! I want a 350-400HP Golf R or a Gti 4Motion Sportswagon first.
Unlike most - probably all - of you in here making the predictable comments, I actually own and DD a Range Rover, a later Sport Supercharged with the 5.0. In the past few years there has been one issue, and that was with the fuel pump. She is now over 100k miles, which is obviously a pittance compared to today’s NPOCP…
5th Gear: to me, the Vietnamese VinFast Lux A2.0 looks like an Afa Romeo...
FWIW, I’ve done a 1,500+ mile trip with an i3 REx.
The challenge was that BMW had to neuter it to meet CARB standards. Other places in the world, and if you have the software, you can prompt the gas engine to top up the battery at a much earlier discharge state, rather than fully empty.

Last N/A BMW engine made. RIP.
So Mike's budget is slightly negotiable, and this seller’s price is negotiable:
Give it eight years and you can have the final word in Gallic avant-garde open air four seat motoring.
uhhh... used ‘dream car’ for $80k that fits two child seats?
Cross-cab for sure
I just wonder how much the car company is paying for those sensors during the original build. I cant see them taking up +10% of the total car value.
Most people are renters? 64.3% of households in the US are homeowners. So most people can’t be renters when nearly 2/3 of people are homeowners.
Yes, there’s a problem with EV adoption for renters, but there’s still an enormous market for homeowners.
Eventually chargers will be maintained like gas stations so this issue will go away.
“guided by the PlugShare app. No good; only the Tesla chargers were operational—and those don’t work with a Bolt—while the rest were broken.”
But it is longitudinal FWD. So an BOP to V90 adaptor on the THM325 and you could be in business.
