Instead, the i3 should receive another battery update in the short term, though other BMW electric cars will take priority over the company's first EV.
Aside from the above, the i3 could have AM radio but doesn’t due to quality concerns BMW had with the offering, and there’s also a hack to activate that, which some have implemented. The website reported that BMW affirmed the i3 REx will be around "for the foreseeable future," but don't expect any major improvements from the model. John Voelcker has caught word that some US owners are now hacking their BMW i3 REx vehicles in order to get the European version. This made the REx model attractive with a combined rating of 150 miles, thanks to a tiny two-cylinder engine providing extra juice when the driver depleted the battery. When the electric car bowed back in 2014, the battery was half as powerful and provided just 81 miles of range. Today, it comes packed with a 42.2 kWh lithium-ion battery that will serve drivers for an estimated 153 miles of range. The regular BMW i3 is a far more capable machine than it was when it debuted. It's not discontinued here just yet, but the German automaker made it clear there won't be continued investment into the technology or specific model. The i3 REx has already been discontinued in Europe, but BMW in the past has alluded the range-extending model still serves a purpose in some markets like the US.
