The aesthetics of the BMW i3 are poor. Is that why resale value dropped?

Aesthetics are 100% subjective.

I think it's a fine looking car.

Whether something looks "good" is subjective. But you can't deny that the REX looks different from typical cars.

Subjective != arbitrary.

Yes, it's a clown car but I'm okay with that. Resale dropped due to federal tax credits and BMWs aggressive leasing plans.

For me, it was an experiment to try EV and I'm 100% sold. It also pushed me to go full solar on the home we're building. Rather make an environmental impact than a status statement.

If they made it look like any other BMW I think it would be a nice ride. I guess they may feel that dilutes the value of their other product lines?
