Tom, do you know when the dealers will be doing test drives in the US? When I go to the sign-up to be notified for test drive, USA is not in the drop down menu.

I was actually referring to this older R&T driving impression (I hadn't seen the one you posted): http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-reviews/road-tests/performance-tests-road-tests-bmw-i3-65-3-roa1013 And that is the MT review I was referencing.
