W212, w204, 250 or 350 CDI efficiency?

Really like the i3, much nicer than the ugly present electric BMWs imho. But I cannot charge at home so will not be in an electric car until street charging is a reliable and easy thing.

Agreed - if we did not have public chargers where I live, I wouldn't have gotten my EV.

I like BMWs but I could not play Russian roulette with their appalling fragility at higher miles (timing chains, flaps, turbos, goodness knows what else)

The N47 certainly got a reputation along with others , thankfully it's the updated B47 .
