Used BMW i3 for Sale in Chicago, IL

Over the past 17 years, our extended family and our businesses have leased and purchased a variety of vehicles through Knauz BMW, as well as Knauz Continental and Land Rover Lake Bluff. In our geographic location between Milwaukee, WI, and Chicago, IL, there are multiple luxury dealers from which to choose, but Knauz consistently outperforms the rest in customer satisfaction, vehicle service, and expertise. The dealership is well equipped with a professional and family-friendly customer lounge offering all the comforts of home while you wait for service or shop, and the atmosphere is updated and high-end without feeling pretentious. All department staff are friendly and greet you with a smile, even just in passing. The diversity of the sales staff provides a well-matched personality for any customer looking for an easy and enjoyable shopping experience. At Knauz BMW, the service department is unmatched by any other in the area. They will consistently go above and beyond to make sure that your vehicle is serviced properly and on time, including picking it up and bringing it home for you when you cannot make time in your calendar. Most recently, I had the pleasure of working with Matt Pudlo while considering a 2016 BMW M3. Matt took the time to get to know me personally over several visits and test drives, with no pressure to make a decision. His extensive M Series expertise and infectious enthusiasm for the product supersedes that of any client advisor I've ever worked with at Knauz, and it was ultimately his keen perception and understanding of what I was truly looking for that had me driving (or flying) away in an M3 instead of the 340i I had originally considered. At all phases, including post-purchase, Matt has gone above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction and exceed my expectations, thus solidifying my loyalty as a Knauz customer. Ultimately, the depth of his knowledge and his sheer excitement for what distinguishes a BMW from other brands makes buying a car with Matt a trustworthy, easy, and (above all) fun experience. For my most recent purchase, I also had the pleasure of working with two additional charming professionals, Doug Kamp and Curt Laczniak. Also, Fred Troccoli and Antonio Lopez in service took great care of me while my BMW X5 was in service.

It is the best electric vehicle on the road. Alloy frame, carbon fiber body, 20 inch Ecco tires, and a range extender for the battery puts the I3 in a class of its own. The vehicle is fast, nimble, and a joy to drive. The perfect city vehicle.

I was referred to Perillo BMW when considering a trade in at the end of my current 3/yr lease. I was greeted immediately, given laser focus, undivided attention. I expressed that my needs had changed a year ago due to a career move to real estate and that I had been vacillating between replacing my 300 series convertible, as I desired, or getting an SUV as I "should". They listened, they asked me several clarifying questions and the solution became clear, and I selected a larger 400 series convertible which fits my lifestyle and my new business. My financing needed attention since I was in the early stages of my start up company, they worked diligently and it was remarkable smooth and swift. I would recommend this dealer 10 times.

I love every bit of this car. I have the level 2 home charger which makes owning this car much better. No range anxiety at all because the car regenerates about 20-30 miles if driven correctly. Just don’t drive like a maniac. If you use the car for how it’s intended, it’s amazing. City car, don’t use freeway and high speeds with AC kill range. However even living in AZ and running the AC, I’m still good on range because of the home charger. It’s a must. WKe up every day to 120-150 Miles to drive. After a while the car configured how much range your car will get based on how you drive with the regenerative Miles added to it. Fast, fun, comfy and roomy. At the same time small to park anywhere! Love this car!!!

I got in touch with Dawn and Jason threw email, Jason was able to answer all my questions, communication was very professional without being pushy. Thank you

The i3 is an excellent city car for running errands and commuting. It is very fun to drive being faster and more maneuverable then most every other car on the road.

Whenever I’ve had my car serviced, it’s critical that I have a “Go To” person that I can trust without question This is especially true when I bring in my car for service at a dealership. From the first time I brought my 350Z to the service department at Arlington Nissan, Al Thacker has been my Go To guy. When Al says I need work, I know it’s needed. When Al says this is the lowest price for the work, I’ve seen him do a lot of work to come up with the bottom line. If I need a loaner, Al has one waiting when I come in. If I can’t get to the service department before it closes, Al has often waited until I can. On top of all this, Al is a pleasure to deal with. Arlington Nissan is indeed fortunate to have Al as a member of its service department team.

It still surprises me that I have bought two luxury suv???s and a 3500 Ram truck from M&I Imports in a year, without ever meeting my exceptional salesman, Joel. Or visiting your dealership and without personally inspecting the automobiles. This was completely out of character for me. My purchase was made possible because of Joel???s knowledge of the subject cars; the high level of professionalism and service provided to me through M&I Imports, financing was made in a snap! The teams honesty, prompt hard work and integrity is the best, I have had in 40 years. The cars arrived in Colorado from Chicago exactly as represented.... Beautiful! Regardless where you live you owe it to yourselves to give Joel a call and check out M&I Imports. It???s the gold standard when buying luxury pre-owned vehicles. I will certainly continue to recommend them to my family and friends. Thank you, Joel and team for such an outstanding job and purchasing experience. Best Regards, Ava ST.Pierre Cogburn Queen Be Productions ???Own Your Kingdom???

We stopped in to look at the new MKZ Hybrid. Tom was extremely knowledgeable, laid back, and not pushy at all. He listened to our needs and put forward a solid sales pitch without being overbearing or desperate for the sale. Our experience there was good enough that we are considering purchasing from this dealership and having the car shipped to where we live in Ft Myers, FL. The sales manager chased us down in the parking lot, which was a pretty big turn off, but our experience up to that point still makes us want to consider buying from here. I will update this review if we decide to purchase the MKZ from here.

I cannot compliment enough Jason Goetz, the Client Advisor at BMW, that assisted me in finding a new car. Of course it is always exciting to get a new car but it can be a very long drawn out tedious process. Jason prepared prior to my arrival, knowing that I had time restraints and family responsibilities. He was able to really focus on what was important and make the whole experience very smooth. He and all the staff - the finance department, the service staff, and all those involved behind the scenes in purchasing a new car- really pulled together so that I could wrap things up most efficiently. Jason also really worked to secure a good deal for me. He and Alex Lebdeh were incredible and I would recommend them and Perillo without hesitation.

My old car was my third minivan in 15 years. Now that my kids are older and leaving for college, I wanted something that could carry 6 or 7 passengers but was ... well... NOT a minivan. I did some research on late model used three-row SUVs, and found the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. (My favorite of my three vans was a 2005 Nissan Quest, so choosing Nissan was easy for me.) Before I started browsing for cars, I applied for credit through Carvana, and was approved. Next, I entered in all of the information about the van I was trading for the Pathfinder. (Beware -- the trade-in amount is only good for 7 days, and it can change wildly in that time!) I was pleased with the trade amount, and it was great that I could shop for my new car and see my down payment and monthly payment for every car I viewed! My specifications were pretty clear -- AWD, less than 10,000 miles, and never a rental car. I found my dream car a few days later, and started the purchase process. It was quite smooth and the directions were very clear about what documents need to be uploaded. When I went to click on "finalize purchase" (or something like that), a red flag popped up...my trade-in value expired WHILE I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF CHECKING OUT! I got on chat with Carvana staff right away, and they were able to return the trade in value to NEARLY what it was before the expiration. This is something that needs to be addressed by Carvana -- once a customer is to a certain point in the process, those numbers need to be frozen. So we set a delivery time, and the Carvana rep was pretty much on time considering he was traveling 70 miles or so from the Chicago office. Everything was smooth -- signed a couple more papers, took my Pathfinder for a spin, Eric inspected my trade, and I left within 30 minutes with my new car. I would also like to add that I drove directly to my mechanic, so he could inspect the car and make sure I wasn't buying something with hidden damage. Mechanic said to me, "This car is perfect, like new." Just what I wanted to hear. Thanks Carvana! I am telling everyone I know about you guys. Good to work with you! Janet - 2017 Nissan Pathfinder

I was stunned by the incredible acceleration and responsiveness of the electric vehicle. Gas vehicles can't measure up to that. Very comfortable ride. Good sound system. Adequate power plus.

This is a review of my SELLING experience to Carvana. I listed my car on Craigslist and was approached by an outsider buyer named Jan. She introduced me to Carvana, which I never heard of before, and it's process. She was very helpful and walked me through the process. The first deciding factor for selling to them was that they offered me the best price (vs. CarMax, Auto Nation, Trur Car). Then I realized the process was super streamlined. All I had to do was upload my documents and, after approval, schedule an appointment for the pickup of my car. Carvana sent a truck to COME TO ME to pick up the car. The driver (Lauren?) was very courteous and pleasant to work with, too. The pickup process, which included a one-mile test drive, took no longer than 20-30 minutes. Immediately after loading my car to their truck, I was handed the check, which I immediately deposited without any issues. My selling experience from being contacted by buyer to getting the check took just 10 days! (Would've been even faster if I was more timely with uploading my docs.) I'd highly recommend Carvana for selling your cars!

A few years ago, my parents purchased a Chevy Cruze for me as a graduation present from a different dealer and we had an absolute HORRIBLE experience. While owning my Chevy I would go to the dealer closest to my office and would have a TERRIBLE experience every single time I go. Now it's time to purchase a new vehicle a Chevy was at the bottom of my list when researching. But on a day off, I wondered into Bill Kay where I met Jen Senders. She sat at her desk and greeted me with the biggest smile. I walked over and we chit chatted. Not once did she ask me about how much money I was looking to spend total, a credit score or a monthly car note. She listened about my experience before and asked me about my home life, how far I drove to work. I told her I like the new upgraded Cruze. She got me exactly what I told her I was looking for, didn't try to up sale me. It was almost like she didn't want to sell me the car at all, and the more she didn???t try to sell me, the more I wanted to buy. She gave me the keys and told me to drive it around and see how I liked it. I guess my face said it all because when I came back she immediately moved me to another car that she thought I would like. The Chevy Trax. I drove the Trax and fell in love. And guess what, the Trax had $8 grand in incentives that I qualified for. Didn't have to be in the military, or drive for Uber or recent college grad or only have a left kidney. Jen then introduced me to the finance director who happens to be her dad, John. He talked to me about the car I was driving and explained to me the trade in process. When I mentioned the car loan was not in my name, he said ???we still have your back, no worries, just get your mom in and we will be all good.??? I told him I didn???t want them running my credit to 900 lenders like the last dealer and he said ???NOT AT ALL, only guys who don???t know what they are doing, do that. I???ve been in this business 35 years, trust me???. I was ready to purchase the car on Friday (2/17). The EASIEST process I have ever experienced. In 1.5 hours I owned my car. No haggling the sticker price, no negotiating the monthly price. No running my credit to 800 different lenders. The longest part was waiting for Eric the finance guy because he had a client before me. He even made that process quick and painless. Jen single handedly got me to purchase the Chevy brand again, and I will be back to do business with ONLY Bill Kay. Thank you Jen, John and Eric. Oh and even Jose for selling the car I originally wanted, and making me get an upgrade model for just dollars more.

I would consider myself to be a car enthusiast. My last car was an E90 BMW 328i. Last year I test drove two EVs - the Tesla Model 3 and the BMW i3. I came away so disoriented by the immediate torque/acceleration and the sheer quietness as it was doing so. I was sold on EVs being fun. Then came the cost question. Tesla model 3 doesn’t have much of a used car market yet as it is so new, but the i3 does. As I dug in I realized a 3-4 year old i3 was being sold for about 30% of its sticker price with lowish mileage (20k-50k miles) - I started digging some more. On average, I was spending about $250/month on gas and after doing some calculations on my commute and monthly car use, I realized I would be spending about $20/month if I charged the car at home. Done - Started the search for an i3 and found one about 70 miles from my house. I traded my 3series for the i3. I’m so glad I did. You can find all the specs on the car so I won’t bore you with that, but this is such an amazing value of a car. The practical hatchback design makes it easy for loading things in and out. The range is enough for my commute and we just use my wife’s car if we need to road trip somewhere. The term range anxiety does exist but I would rather call it range awareness. Driving an EV is a lifestyle change and makes you approach your use of a car differently. Some see that as a bad thing - I just see it as an opportunity to use your brain :-). I know when most people think of a used BMW, they think it’s unreliable. Mechanically, these cars are SO simple and the things that typically go wrong in BMWs (gaskets, coil packs, spark plugs, turbos, water pumps, etc.), aren’t present in this car. Sure the EV infrastructure is lagging in the US, but with a little planning and the use of the PlugShare app, you can find somewhere around you to charge in a pinch. If you’re reading this, you are probably a bit like me - a car junky that likes to understand the good and the bad about a car before you take the leap. I would encourage you - DO IT!

This is a follow up to my review of December 9, 2017. Our 430i Gran Coupe arrived as scheduled a few months after we placed the order and Marek handled the last details of the transaction with his characteristic courtesy and aplomb. Genius Jon then sat with us in the vehicle and explained all of the buttons, switches, etc., as well as the iDrive system and the other on-board electronic wonders available to us. Jon encouraged us to ask questions as he went along and assured us that there was no such thing as a dumb question. Although we did our best to prove him wrong on the last point, Jon answered everything asked of him in a way that was easily understood. He was patient, knowledgeable and thoroughly professional. Because of our positive experience with both Marek and Jon (and Knauz in general) and because we like the 430i so well, we visited Marek about a week after picking up the 430i to place an order for an X3 SAV. Once again, the vehicle we wanted was not on the lot and would have to be ordered and once again, Marek was more than helpful, often going over and above anything that could have been reasonably--or even unreasonably--expected. We are confident that our experience when we take delivery of the X3 will be no less satisfying than our experience with the Gran Coupe.

I started our car search for a few weeks leading up to my end of lease. I have driven a Nissan car for 15 years because of the quality of cars. I contacted a different dealership and was appalled by the horrible service. When we contacted Martin Nissan, the overall friendliness and professionalism got us in the door. My husband and I are both bankers so we understand financial sales and are big on making sure the numbers make sense. (I also see buying a car as a big commitment). All that being said, Jim and the staff at Martin Nissan were exceptional. Our indecisiveness kept us there for over 4 hours! Never once did the staff make us feel rushed. They made us feel like they wanted us to be comfortable with our decision. Jim and Fred didn???t leave the dealership until 10:30pm! I felt horrible but they reassured me that it was OK. Though I???ve been a lifelong Nissan driver, their service earned a lifelong Martin Nissan customer. Thank you so much for such an exceptional experience. We look forward to future business.

The i3 is a fantastic full electric car. It rides superb and has a sporty attitude as expected by a BMW product. Styling is unusual and kind of ahead of its time (German engineers on LCD...) but very pleasing IMO. The only drawback is its performance in lower temperature (under 0C). Cold temperature really affect these BMW batteries compared to other type.

Buying through Carvana was one of the best transactional experiences ever! I shopped for several months, test drove several cars to understand the models and features I was looking for. Then, boom, the car that matched come up in my search and I pulled the trigger. Within minutes, I had a value on my trade-in, purchased the car, (to include a very well priced extended warranty), and arranged for financing it through the Carvana website. And, while that was a very easy, non pressure experience, what made it really special was the delivery. Rachel, the Caravan rep, called me the day before the delivery to confirm, then called while in route to be sure not to leave me hanging. She was right on time, professional, and extremely upbeat. I had a genuine feeling that her priority was not only to deliver the car and pick up my trade in, but it was to make the final part of my experience a pleasure as well. Rachel was extremely knowledgeable of the process and did an excellent job of assuring I was informed of the "7 day, no questions asked, test drive" as well as the final paperwork to be processed. A few signatures and the trade-in was her's and the keys to 2014 BMW 535 were in my hands.

This car is perfect for a daily commuter. It is easy to drive and great plenty of range so you only need top charge in infrequently. If you want to push it, it's very quick and handles well. The range extender option gives great piece of mind in case you can't get to a charger. The styling makes the car look space age, both inside and out. The interior is very roomy, even fitted someone tall. Visibility is great due to the tall seating position and large windows. Overall, love the car.

Out of the blue I was contacted by a woman from Carvana on a Sunday when I actually had time to communicate. She and all of the subsequent reps who sent me information as I needed or requested it were professional and thorough. I was able to research the company online and was impressed with the entire concept of online selling and car buying and the ease with which I was able to find background information. Once I agreed to the offer I was taken step by step through the process. I was not confused even once by the process. I had nothing to do but gather my documents, upload them and then schedule a date for my car to be picked up and for me to be paid. The local rep. From Carvana came to my home exactly at the agreed upon time, was clear about what was going to happen, worked quickly and answered my questions. Once the papers were signed (I did not need to go to the DMV or AAA or to a notary) I received my check and my car was loaded on the one car hauler and driven away. I deposited the check that day and funds were available the very next day (which happened to be a Sunday). If I were not really strapped for time perhaps I could have made an extra $ 500-1000 overall by selling it to an individual but I would have worked very hard for that extra money and spent time I did not have available. Instead, I was not stressed by the extra work, my other responsibilities were able to be met and my car is off and becoming someone else???s beautiful Subaru. Thank you Jan and all the others who worked on the transaction. Judy R ...

My number came up to order a Tesla Model 3, so I tracked one down (not easy) to test drive. It was a good car with lots of bells and whistles, but it paled in comparison to the e-car I used to drive, a BMW i3 (lease ended). Because of that, I gave up my place in the Tesla line and went back to an i3. I could not be happier. True, the range does not compare, but the drive and the ride is so superior I figured I'd get a used i3 and trade it in on a new one when the range improves significantly. I got a great price and excellent service at BMW of San Francisco (I live in Monterey) and recommend them as highly as the i3.

Ken was an EXCELLENT salesman who was extremely easy to get along with! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a BMW. I was in a time crunch due to relocation purpose and he made my CPO purchase as smooth as can be expected! Should win salesman of the year!!

I am so pleased with my service adviser, Adam Crews. First of all, I came to see him about 5 minutes before he was about to leave for the day. I wanted to ask him about some recommended service for my BMW 135i. He spent 1/2 hour with me, which I thought was very nice. We went over what I needed done on my car. I told him I had a Costco warranty, and he said.....no problem. Well, I brought my car in, got a loaner and Adam kept in contact with me throughout the entire process. He really took good care of me. He treated me like I just purchased a $100K 7 series. I am so happy with my experience with Adam, and with Patrick BMW in general. I have worked with Adam for almost 10 years.....and I see why he is still at Patrick BMW....he certainly is a valuable employee. 5 stars for Adam and 5 stars for Patrick BMW.
