"It's like a clown car."

Out of interest, are you the in the US? As I don't think the i3 is that small in the context of car sizes in other markets.

NB I also think it looks rather cute - but I've vowed never to buy another BMW.

I agree with you, that is not a tiny clown car. For the first time seeing it on photos I thought the same, but when you put it next to other cars, it looks surprisingly big (however, I have never tried it if its interior is also so roomy as it looks like):

I tried the i3. It has nice acceleration. Inside it's about the same size as a BMW 3 series.

It is very ugly, however. The mix of materials used... yuck!

Its smaller than a 3 series, it only seats 4, and the trunk is smaller.
