Used BMW i3 for Sale in San Jose, CA

My husband and I recently purchased a previously owned 328i in the Bay Area from one of the BMW dealerships. We decided to move service to Stevens Creek BMW due to in adequate service at another dealership. I was lucky enough to get helped by Ricardo who is amazing. He went above and beyond evaluating and determining the exact status of this car we recently purchased. Through his attention to detail and just overall high level of customer service, he discovered a few repair issues that were over looked prior to purchase. He worked extensively with our extended coverage we purchased to have an inspector come to location and approve the repairs to be done. We are really grateful and now feel we safe and that our carnis in great running condition. Especially since our son will be driving it a lot as well. I’ recommend Ricardo and Stevens Creek BMW any day of the week!

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!!!

Tyler was informative and helpful, he also waved-off the visit fees($50) which is applicable for each visit, after the BMW 4 year warranty expires until you have CPO warranty, i was just couple of days out of warranty and he was considerate enough and courteously waved it off. I went there for the engine check light issue and he also took care of my service as it was nearing, which avoided me an additional visit ,once again Thank you Tyler.

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.

Last Friday I had driven from Sacramento to San Jose, and my 530BMW stopped abruptly. AAA towed it to Stevens Creek dealership, and the service representative Riccardo Forleo attended to my car in a timely manner, considering how busy they were at 5pm. Riccardo was very professional and compassionate about my need to return to the Sacramento area. He thoughtfully organized a loaner car. The next day he called to explain the results of the diagnostics and the estimated cost to repair. He graciously waited for my response until I contacted by son-in-law, a mechanic, who then supported the estimate. After the work was completed, he immediately called, so that I could drive back to San Jose and pick up my repaired car. I was very satisfied with my interactions with Riccardo and the BMW dealership.

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 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 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!

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.

Great for short trips around town. Save money, never have to buy gas. Used models are a great value. Styling is not like your average sedan.

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 ...

This car is pure BMW to drive. It has amazing acceleration since there is no transmission to slow the process down. But it's a little light in the loafers on a bumpy road with the tail bunny hopping over speed bumps. With that said, it has three driving modes... Comfort, Eco and Eco+. Comfort mode is race car mode, however, you will use your battery up with your pedal to the metal. Eco mode is the best choice for highway driving and extending your range. Finally, Eco+ mode is for city street driving. Eco + limits the car to a 54 mph speed, tones down the acceleration and turns off your AC. This is the ultra range extending mode. One of the best features of this electric car is the super convenient Range Extender. Unlike other electric cars, if you max out the battery, the range extending gas generator kicks in to seamlessly get you to your destination or the next charging or gas station. The I3 has an enormous amount of room for such a small footprint. The car is only 156 inches long, yet, has plenty of head and leg room for 6 foot people both in front and back seats. The lack of transmission makes the entire front floor one continuous flat surface. Finally, a place for my purse between the seats! The suicide doors give great access to the back seat and make it easy to get in and out. And the batteries under the floor raise this car up for great sight lines. If you need to transport something a little large, the seat fold down for a very roomy trunk which is easily loaded through the back hatch.

Greeted when pulling into SC BMW's driveway from the Stevens Creek Blvd. Progressive interest when the engine light came on mysteriously, of course there was no scheduled visit appointed, but the guys went out of their way to investigate right away. And just my lucky day! A quick review of the diagnostic was a code that linked to a recall on a new technology sensor, replaced and resolved. Who can ask for more while waiting and offered coffee, tea, and danish. I soon zoomed back out onto the wild of the Steven's Creek with my Happy Customer Kit...

Had an excellent experience with Micah today. Went in for routine maintenance but had a few questions about tire tread wear and major service coming up. Micah said the tires still look safe for now but also helped me figure out which tires to change first if did not want to get all 4 tires replaced at the same time. Also showed me my next major service was not for another 10k miles. He told me how much to expect to pay but also to keep a look out for 15% off service coupons via email. This was really nice because I had first explained to him that I need as much time as possible to prepare for these expenses. I never felt like he was trying to sell me anything I didn't need which I really appreciate too! Definitely will be coming back here. Also, I gave 5 stars for facilities because it's really clean, they have good snacks for free! Wi-fi and current newspapers and magazines to read. They also have shuttle service, did not use it but maybe next time I will.

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!

Very positive staff from initial phone call to working with Finance and driving off the lot! I knew this was where I wanted to buy based on how straightforward and prompt Alex was, I shopped around and this was where I found the best deal.

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.

I purchased a BMW X5 on 7/2. The sale person, Ricky Tan, helped us find what we wanted and how we wanted the car would be. He answered whatever questions we had. He also brought a few cars and let us test drive. Another staff, Bill, was also very friendly. Overall, i really appreciated the helps and satisfied with the car we've got.

Giovanni really knew the car, it’s capabilities and attributes. A real pleasure to shop with a bright and engaging salesperson. He made car shopping fun.

Very fun to drive and economical. Just plug it in and is ready to go the next time it is needed. We have the Range Extender model and it take away and anxiety when using it for going further distances then our typically daily running for errands.

An emergency situation; nail in the tire, the tire was damaged on a holiday trip. We felt stranded. Called BMW, the nearest store was in SJ Stevens Creek BMW. Called them explained the problem. They were so helpful, they had only one tire to fit my X3 in stock. They put it on in 2 hours, we were on our way...Happily and Thankful. Thank you Sarah!

I was able to get in next day service (awesome) on a 30k mile service on my 2016 Subaru Forester. Tons of available times to choose from, which is rare with other service departments. Josh was awesome. Went through my service history, explained what needed to be done thoroughly, and was spot on with the wait time estimate. I even asked him "is it REALLY going to be 2 hours? Or is it going to be more like 3?" He said no, his estimates are usually spot on, and what do you know, he was right. Just 4 stars for the small waiting area, but it can't be helped. There's free wifi, popcorn and coffee, and terrible TMZ on TV to entertain the masses.

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.

Our Service Advisor was kind and very helpful. Went above and beyond, very understanding about our concerns and situation.

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.

I brought in my 2014 BMW i3 for an in-warranty service as my dashboard was showing a malfunction with airbag module. I was promptly assisted, given a loaner as the diagnosis and service would take more than a day. I was given updates every day at 5pm on the status. Although the actual service took 4 days, it did not bother me because I had a loaner, and also becoz I was kept updated on the status all throughout. A couple of days after the servicing was over, I got a call from my service advisor (John) asking me how my car was doing. I really appreciate that !

Met my expectations, I suggest you find one that has been well maintained. Fun to drive and practical! Also saved me a lot of money on gas.

BMW of Fremont is more like your "neighborhood mechanic" than a traditional dealership (but in a GOOD way). They went over my vehicle and even things I suggested that might need to be serviced/replaced, they came back with an honest response "we don't believe that's necessary", rather than the typical experience where you go in for an oil change and come out with a list of 20 "repairs" you didn't know you needed at a horrendous price. They treat you like you'd treat you: honest, fair prices, and only recommend the truly necessary work, rather than pad the bottom line with unnecessary "inspections and preventative maintenance". I can respect that, and so should you.

I came in on a Saturday expecting a long wait, which was inevitable. However, Anthony made the service experience much better. He was courteous and professional throughout the process. I also spoke to Jorge from sales about my wife’s car while I waited. Despite not being ready to get the car today, he was courteous and extremely helpful with all of my questions. I’ll definitely be back in June to lease her new vehicle from BMW of Fremont, you guys will be my go to dealer. Thank you again!

Awesome customer care was provided throughout the process of ordering my M3 to taking delivery. Jerry was very receptive, knowledgeable, diligent, and professional. And now I am driving my dream car! Thank you Jerry and the staff at BMW of Fremont, for all your expertise and dedication!

Look around first so you understand that their prices can't be haggled but it is worth it. I couldn't find a single car within $1K of their price. And the quality of the car was outstanding. Easy. Great kid's corner keeps them occupied too. No pressure sales is a beautiful thing.
