Cool, it has suicide doors like the BMW i3 (a legendary concept car that escaped into the wild, and caused BMW to lose a lot of money)

Sad that the i3 concept didn't take off, I loved it, together with the i8 (if only that one had a larger engine...)

Interestingly enough the i3 and i8's carbon structure helped the G11 & G12 (short and long wheelbase BMW 7), the G14/G15/G16 (BMW 8 series) and the F91/F92/F93 (BMW M8) shed a lot of weight.

But for the newer version of the 7 series don't use that structure anymore, as the weight savings are nullified by the battery pack.

    I have an i3 actually, never selling this thing! I wouldn't know if anything exists that is worthy to replace it.

      Do you have the REX and are you in the USA? If so, with an app you can remove the gas-tank restriction and add the ability to maintain charge instead of only turning it on when below 30%.
