i3 resale value sunk because it's ugly as sin.

It's like BMW didn't get the memo that electric cars don't have to look like electric cars anymore.
Next year's electric X3 doesn't look that much different from the normal X3.
i3 was an early one.
Not early enough for that to be an excuse for BMW. It looks like it was “inspired by” the style of a neon rubber G3 iBook.
With that argument the Model 3s resale value should be "we give you 1000 Dollar extra if you take it from our hands. PLEASE?!"
Why, what's wrong with the model 3 (tesla or BMW)? They're both pretty benign looking IMO.
I thought the same. But over time the look has grown on me. I think the 2018 model looks really good. The interior is especially nice. It's the only game in town if you want an affordable RWD (fun) electric drive.
I had never seen one. Googled. Exactly as described.
