Used BMW i3 for Sale in San Jose, CA

Outstanding experience with this guys at United Imports. Friendly and jovial staff. Nice owner. Cheap and like new cars. Thank you

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.

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!

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.

The team at UNITED Imports is top notch. My wife and I bought a Used Nissan back in January 2016, so this is also a 6-month review. The owner, Peter, has followed up a couple of times on our car and our experience -- I've not had that happen with a car dealer ever. They were super honest, the very opposite of pushy, and just nice folks. They even watched our 2 and 3 yr olds while we bombarded them with questions :-)

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.

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

After looking at several electric vehicles I chose the i3. So far I am thrilled with my choice. Fun to drive. especially in the city. Extremely quick and the regenerative braking is a terrific experience. I would highly recommend this car whether you are in the market for an electric vehicle or not!

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 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.

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.

This is the quietest and smoothest car I've owned. Was looking for an all-electric. Had planned on buying a Tesla but wanted something smaller. The i3 accelerates quickly and is zippy around town. It's great to have full access to the HOV lane and to skip the trips to the gas station. I installed a Level 2 charger at my house (bought the Bosch unit from Amazon). It's pricey for its size but we are satisfied. Highly recommended.

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.

I have full electric one. Always worry about run out of juice. Maybe there is a way the have extra battery in the front without that range extender, but extra 15miles for my commute. Otherwise it's perfect. Comfortable.

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...

I'm a driver--all of my previous cars have had manual transmissions; I log 30,000 miles a year, and so I'm fairly demanding when it comes to vehicles. The i3 broke the mold for me--electric with an onboard generator (which I rarely use), it plugs in at home every night and gets me everywhere I need to go faster than almost any sports car, quietly, and with all sorts of features. Comfortable, safe, reliable, and--after the tax credit and BMW incentives--very, very affordable. Highly recommended!

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.

you either love it or hate it (it definitely grew on me) but inside and out an amazing technological marvel and definitely a BMW. Great car!

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!

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.

I had an amazing first time car buyer experience with United Imports! The owner made the process extremely comfortable and anything but intimidating. I felt no pressure to make a decision which was what I dreaded the most from car lots. Not only was he more than great during the buying portion, he made sure to be available for any questions I had after the fact. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you for everything! 10/10 would recommend.

Seriously, great service, I pulled up, dropped the car, and was out the door in less then 15 minutes. This is typical customer service here, I have never had any issues. I've owned a Mercedes years ago, and when I took it in for Service st another dealership, it was never pleasant, and took so long. Again, great service, Danny took great care of me and my car, having it brought in in a timely manner and the repairs completed right on time. I appreciate this so much,

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.

We are in the midst of the early evolution of the modern electric vehicle. Efficiency and long range is the goal. The BMW i3 is an experiment and we owners get to be part of that evolution. The ICE has had its day and will continue for a while longer.

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 !

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?!

Brandon Casey provided excellent service and even advice for my car which i did not usualy see otherwise at other dealerships. My battery needed replacement but was within warrenty perior. But there was a diagnosis which is required to see if i am eligible for the replacement which itself cost $250. Casey helped me know that i have a very high likelihood of not being eligible for the replacement because my usage was really really low. This helped me save the $250 and also he gave me advice on how to save it next time with a tirckle charger. Appreciate the honesty and wealth of info that was provided to me

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.

I get all my maintenance and service done at this dealership. I live in Milpitas so I can either go to BMW Fremont or Steven's Creek but I chose to go BMW Mountain View. My SA, Branden Casey is extremely knowledge, prompt, and courteous. The two techs, Dan and Greg do great work. I appreciate good communication when it comes to what is being done to my car; Branden, Dan, and Greg are great when it comes to this.

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!!!

Excellent service. My appointment was at 7:20am. After I was checked in they called an Uber to take me to work - and at the specified time at end of day another Uber to bring me back to pick up my car. They really take care of you.

typo on name and address on service contract, did get it corrected with a hardcopy. told me could not send me a new email version. Is this a system issue? this should be corrected great job otherwise!

Friend recommended me to one of sales manager and he offered me with good price there that I thought I was lucky on that day. Their service was good that I enjoy my new car now.

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!
