Used BMW i3 for Sale in Raleigh, NC

We were in need of a car after someone hit my wife's SUV and totaled it. I searched on the internet, and saw a car I was interested in at Hannah's. We went down there and they were super busy, but they found the time to stop and help us by letting us test drive the car, and taking it to our mechanic for him to give us the thumbs up, or thumbs down. We had the car for over half a day, and Hannah's did not call or bug us. We got the thumbs up, and have now driven the car for over two years. The only problems we've had were with sensors, which couldn't have been seen during the inspection. We fixed the sensors, and the car rides like a dream. Thank you Hannah for your professionalism and service. We'll definitely shop there again.

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 visited a different dealership last Saturday and was not impressed. Even though I had driven 2 hours to get there, I walked on the deal anyway. Sunday I scoured the internet figuring out what I wanted and who had it. Around 1am Monday morning I had picked out a V6 Passat at Hanna Imports and sent them messages to schedule a test drive for Monday afternoon. First thing in the morning I was scheduled. I showed up early and had a look at the car. When I walked up to the office I was greeted warmly and set up with Gil Parson as my sales guy. He had an enthusiasm for the car and for cars of that type in general so we hit it off great. After the test drive while my trade was being evaluated (they offered me more for it than anyone else) someone else came by to look at the car and was sad to learn I had gotten there first! Gil offered to go over the CarFax with me and we found that some bumper damage had been repaired at a VW dealership. No problem. I was surprised when they stuck to their internet pricing because that never seems to happen! And a free 12-month warranty to boot! I asked for a detailed breakdown and found they had a dealer credit program that pays $5,000 on top of what the insurance company totals the car out to be if it ever gets totaled! I didn???t opt for that though, because I tend to go where the cars I want are, and they had no problem with me declining it. They were also able to work with my own bank for financing, so you military types have no fear, they work with USAA! They then took the car I was buying and put a full tank of premium gas in it for me, and then had it detailed for me! This is after 7pm on a weekday. Once the deal was done and it was time to hand over my trade I was assisted by Gil in moving my plates and any other items from my old car that I could use on the new one, and then he moved the old car up under the lights by the building so I could park the new one next to it and he took my picture for me to post my purchase on Facebook! He stayed super late to make sure I was taken care of, and I got a great car from great people at a GREAT price! I???d recommend them to anyone... but make sure you get there fast to get the car you want!

We weren't so sure about buying an i3 without the Range Extender, but we took the plunge in part because this used one had the Tera World upholstery. In reading other reviews, most folks say they never use the REX anyway. The fact that our next scheduled service is fully 18 MONTHS from now reinforced that this is a good way to go. We've already put a few hundred miles on it. Whenever it's in the garage it's on the charger, but we drive past every gas station without even noticing the prices! The interior is super cool. We LOVE the wood accented dash and the very large nav screen. The fact that it parks itself, and will fit ANYWHERE is icing on the cake! And, that's before considering the 33' turning circle. I actually made a u-turn on a two lane residential street without backing up! It's small, for sure. But, that's what you want in a City Car. No gas, no exhaust, can park it anywhere, luxury appointments, 0-60 in 6.6 seconds... What more do you want?!

When my 2000 Honda Accord decided after 209,000 miles it wanted $4K in repairs to keep it running safely, I went out looking for my first new car in 17 years. As I like driving a manual transmission, I knew my choices were limited. I test drove a 2017 Accord six-speed and really didn't like it. But I figured I'd be stuck with it. On a whim, I called Leith BMW in Raleigh as a friend has a manual 325i she loves. I was lucky enough to get Kent Beard as my sales counselor. Kent invited me to test drive a non-certified preowned 2016 335i on the lot, but for $45K, I just couldn't make the math work. And then the very next day when I was resigned to buying the Accord, Kent texted to say a CPO 2014 335i had just come in off a lease. It only had 27K miles, looked brand new and had a price tag that suited me perfectly. I took a test drive with him, and he anticipated and then answered pretty much every question I could come up with. He was open, knowledgeable, friendly, low pressure and, most important, authentic. Long story short, I bought the car the next day from Kent who set everything up for a virtually effortless experience. Since then, Kent has been there to answer questions, set up a follow-up service call for me, and just generally keep track of me as I get used to the "ultimate driving machine" (which it is - wow!). I recommend Kent with the highest of confidence.

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.

Thank You Hanna Imports!!! Exceptional customer service from Mr. Gil Parson he was not a pushy salesmen, he was knowledgeable about the vehicle, not trying to rush us or pressuring us into getting something we really didn't want because my son was interested in a CLA 250 Mercedes Benz his heart was set on that vehicle and these guys made it happen, we are extremely satisfied with our purchase and we say THANK YOU for an awesome car shopping experience Mr. Gil Parson we will be returning within the next 3-4 months for a second purchase!!

This car is perfect for the right person with the correct expectations. The car is the REX model ( has an electric gas generator) and in combination provides a minimum of 200 miles of range. Thats driving the car without any limitations or trying to be efficient. If tou drive it in the economy or economi+ setting then you can get 250 miles combined. The car is very light weight and small, so very easy to park, but it fits 4 adults confortable without any issues with olenty of head room and leg room ( I am 6 foots tall and i can get behind my sitting position comfortably) I have the car for a month now, so I can talk about reliability, but I haven put a single drop off gas on the tank since I got it, my commute every day is at least 50 miles, and I charge my car every other day for free at work. In my case this is an advantage but for other people they are several free stations that once you install the app can have access to it. Power is adequate for the size of the car. All and all is a great buy, specially that I got it used with only 8k miles on it and a incredible price. Just with the savings on gas the car will py for itself.

My experience Saturday was awesome. Pretty much went to LOOK at vehicles and ended up leaving with one! My credit is terrible from past situations with an ex and I thought it was hopeless.. Keith at apex imports did his tricks and got me approved for my 2016 GMC Terrain. I am one very satisfied customer! :) thank you, Keith!

The best car around the town. The best thing no gas! Save a lot of money! I love it! I really enjoy this car a lot.

We worked closely with Edgar (one of the salesmen) and he was sure to make sure we were satisfied before we left with our used car. I would definitely recommend.

Great car that has everything you would want in a BMW with the perks of an Electric Vehicle. And it is actually affordable. I haven't paid for gas in a year!

Clare at the Maserati dealership was the most professional and knowledgeable car sales person I have ever dealt with. She was patient in answering all of our questions and I will be asking for her again and again.

The i3 is the best car I’ve owned for my type of use. My only wish would be for longer range on battery but frankly I rarely use the Rex so this is a small complaint for me.

They were very nice and helpful, I was looking for a safe car cheap on gas since I am a student, and I couldn't find better. They helped me through it all! I don't have a good credit, so instead of sending my application everywhere, they were honest with me, and talked to their relations. They were patient and honest with me, I definitely recommend this place!!

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!

My husband told me about Carvana from a commercial ad he heard/saw. I laughed about it and said 'yah right, there's gotta be a hitch somewhere'. A few weeks later, he brought up Carvana again....curious, I decided to check it out online. The key words there was 'check it out'. I ended up buying a vehicle a couple hours later. Yeup, it was just like that. No hassle, no hidden costs or agendas. So after reviewing everything on the site, I started looking at minivans....I started falling in love with minivans....I started buying minivans....all through carvana. Once I locked in the one I wanted, I went through the credit process, documentation process, and pick up date (I chose pick up - because at this point, I still felt a little 'leary' about the whole deal'. It was so simple, and so honest, and so real. Over the course of the next 24 hours, all my submitted documents were approved and we just had two days to go to pick up the new mininvan. When we got to the store, it's not like a dealership with a lot, but it had three beautiful, well lit, very clean, showroom like bays that your vehicle is sitting in for your to do a complete inspection of it. It was very classy. Please note, our particular location does not have the car vending machine just yet. After passing our over check, I hopped in the car and drove it 65 miles home. She ran like a charm and I knew I had 7 days to decide if I wanted to keep her not. At day 3, although I loved her, she didn't have all the bells and whistles I truly wanted so that evening, I was back on the Carvana site, shopping for a replacement minivan....it's so easy to do when it gives you results based on your financial settings....I found the new 'her' a few hours later. I ordered her up and made the quick call explaining I was swapping and chose to have the vehicle delivered instead of going there to save time. The whole swap process took 2 days...they pulled up right to my house with my next new minivan. In my eyes, she was perfect, but I found a flaw before she was even off the truck. There was a huge bolt in the back tire. I was so disappointed. But Carvana took care of that so amazingly over the top.....they still brought her off the truck so I can check out the interior, test drive it, etc. We found a few more things that we felt should be fixed...minor things. Carvana took note of the items, and took the vehicle back on the truck but promised me (because I really wanted her that day) they would bring her back with a new tire....they kept their promise, three hours later she was back with a brand new tire, not one, but TWO brand new back tires. And they put an extra Carvana cup in the car for me. They swapped the minivans and off the old one went and there I sat with the new one. Smile ear to ear. I worked with Carvana on 6 items that we believed needed repair before committing to keep the vehicle. Carvana went above and beyond. I got an estimate for the repairs at a local shop, Carvana approved it, and within a few weeks, all repairs were completed through Carvana and I have the perfect vehicle, no hassle, no hidden agendas. And every person I dealt with on the phone or in person were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, FRIENDLY, HELPFUL, AND JUST THE BEST!! My Carvana experience was the absolute best. I will never go back to buying a car the old 'car dealership' way. And ironically, we had bought our other vehicle from a dealership just 3 months before being introduced to Carvana. I will give one warning about buying a vehicle through Carvana this way....it can be addicting..lol :-) Yes, I still shop Carvana cars every now and then....I don't even need a car, I just love seeing what Carvana has because it was sooo simple :-) Thank you Carvana for a trememdously wonderful experience.

Got a great deal on an EV that’s a blast to drive. I’ve already highly recommended this model to friends and family. Large windows provide great visibility.

Buying a car is stressful even if you have a lot of experience. Historically, it has been time consuming, emotionally taxing and most of us go into a dealership with far less knowledge than we ought for a purchase of the magnitude of a car. Salespeople have (understandable) pressures to move inventory and even the most fair-minded is looking to get the highest price they can get away with. It is harrowing at best. With my experience with Carvana, all of these stresses were eliminated. I browsed inventory as widely or narrowly as I wanted, for as long as I needed. I could dictate pricing ranges that were suitable for me. The car I received was *exactly* the car I examined online, right down to some inconsequential bumper scuffs. Beyond this, and *absolutely unlike* any other online business, I could speak to a *real human being* within a few minutes of calling (I had six or seven conversations with Carvana agents over the 3 1/2 weeks from car selection to car receipt). They either had the answers at hand, or researched them and replied promptly with a follow up call. Delivery coordination and drop off (and test drive) were *painless no pressure* experiences???all preparatory contract paperwork was prepared in advance leaving only title transfer stuff to take care of. It took 45 minutes, tops. (I transacted entirely in cash, so I cannot speak to the process when there is financing.) Honestly, the biggest delay was on *my* end getting the insurance transferred (having to wait on hold with my insurance company for 15 minutes). The car was 100% was described???absolutely no surprises. The images on the web site for my car were not stock images. What I saw was what I got. Naturally, it was clean, filled up with a full tank, with new tires and the whole nine yards. Even got a ???free??? Carvana reusable coffee cup and key chain. Nice touch. The part that I found the most extraordinary was the 7-day money-back guarantee, which pretty much covers a change of mind unless you get into an accident or drive it a ton (over 400 miles, and even then, they???ll take it back after a modest per-mile-over-400 charge). All in all, I was dreading buying a car (and selling my used one) and Carvana made it pleasurable. I am absolutely recommending them to all of my friends and coworkers and I hope (as a relatively new company) they keep up the excellent work.

Here's the break down for what this car offers. Firstly it has a beautiful interior, it's really like being inside a second home. When you drive this car its stiff on suspension but such a joy to be able to accelerate almost immediately. With that said be careful know your package and know the features you want as not all models are created equal. Tera trim is 100% worth the extra cpo search. You don't want to buy this car brand new. It's simply not worth over 30k. 2016, 2015,2017 models can all be found for 24k or less. With that said I have a 2016 Rex with upgraded battery because that is literally an option. I spent 13k on the car and another 4k on battery and installation.

Yes, where do I start. Do I start with this being the best car buying experience I've ever had? That would be too obvious. But it would be the absolute honest truth. I think that everyone is so used to going to the dealership. Being there for 8 hours (you should get paid for being there you're there so long). Sales people trying to up-sell you on every little thing that you didn't ask for. Just an all around miserable experience. Then you go to carvana.com. You put in exactly what you're looking for. Exactly what you want to pay and presto you have a wonderful car. I believe it took me 45 minutes to do this entire transaction. From first going on the site and finding my 2016 Chervolet Equinox (maybe 15 minutes). To uploading my paperwork (5 minutes). To being approved (5 minutes). To having the car delivered, taking a test drive and signing the papers (20 minutes). It was the best transactions I've done since finding my husband. I've told everyone I know about this. We've watched videos of other people getting their cars. Too funny. Thank you Carvana for this wonderful experience. Can't wait to get my Husband a car now.

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.
