2020 BMW i3
4dr Hatchback w/Range Extender (0.6L 2cyl gas/electric plug-in hybrid DD)

This is an Extremely Clean BMW I3 that offers the LARGER EV Battery that was offered in 2018 and newer models. Giga World, Moon Roof, and Technology & Driving Assistant Package. You can expect up to 150 miles of electric range and a 2.4 gallon gas range extender (70+ additional miles). EV Battery is still under factory warranty for 4 years or 44,000 miles. This is a California car that I bough last May and this car is really fun to zip around the city and has the highest safety ratings. I'm a Private Seller so you DONT PAY TAXES. Please call or text for a faster response.

Deka World, Giga World, and Technology & Driving Assistant Package.
It can't be both Deka World and Giga World. The photos and a VIN decoder site confirm that it is Giga World, the second highest trim level 2 trim levels higher than Deka World.
This car was over $65,000 new
Although this i3 includes the moon roof option not listed in the ad, it doesn't include the Harman Kardon entertainment system option and isn't the highest trim level, Tera World, so it didn't have the highest U.S. i3 REx MSRP. Was the MSRP of even a fully-equipped U.S. i3 REx as high as $65,000? I doubt it. Seems ~$10k too high. However, this really doesn't matter at this point. The asking price is in line with its Kelley Bluebook private party sale value.

When I was looking for a 2019 or later i3, I avoided looking at i3's that had spent much of their time in very hot climates like that of Surprise, AZ, because the battery pack isn't cooled when an i3 is parked, not actively charging, and not preconditioning. My concern was that the battery cells would overheat in an i3 parked in a hot garage overnight or on a hot asphalt outdoor parking lot at work during the day resulting in accelerated degradation. I would want to know the battery pack's state of health which should be >90% in an i3 of this age and distance driven. Another member of this forum is considering buying a 2019 i3S BEV in Arizona, but its battery pack has apparently degraded to 70% of its new usable capacity after <80k miles. That's very unusual for a 120 Ah battery pack, so I'm guessing that this is due to the climate in the parts of Arizona that aren't at high altitude.

Thank you for your suggestions and I have adjusted my ad. FYI this is a California car that I bough last May so it has been in AZ for less than a year if that means anything to you. I have not noticed any difference in the battery or miles that I'm given after a charge in any way. how do you get a battery score?
thanks again for your help.
