BMW i3 Die-Cast model availability

[carbonblackcab]

Hi,

I have searched for a scale model of the bmw i3 without success. I always buy a 1/18 (or different scale) model of the car I drive and keep it on my desk in my home office. I hope BMW i3 die cast models start showing up soon. It will definitely help those of us who have to wait 4 more months before taking delivery.

I'm interested too, definitely!

And me - when I saw the thread title, I was hoping you'd found one!

My dealer has an i8 bluetooth mouse for his order system PC. No idea if they made i3 versions... although they might not be so sleek under the wrist ;-)

Nice find, thanks. It says it's available from May, so I guess we'll just gave to wait!

I ordered one (ionic silver), it is marked in stock so i expect it in a few days.
I will be giving this to my wife on her 50th birthday, she doesn't know i ordered one, but she will unfortunally have to wait a few months to recieve the real one.

My wife got an i3 for her birthday last month. She was given a 2-hour tutorial by our i genius on all the functions before driving off. She is extremely pleased with the car.

Not having used the Rex, the car started its own "maintenance cycle" when we set off last Sunday. The gas engine ran for several minutes and switched off. With further Rex use this week, we are surprised how quiet this engine is and the seamless electric/gas transition.
