BMW i3 with 174,000km on it?

[dannyc]

Hi Folks, first post here. I'm thinking about buying a second hand BMW i3 REX 2016 model. very good price of €10K

the only concern I have is it has 174,000km on the clock.

the seller has also reported that the drivers heated seat is not working. I've no clue how much that would cost to repair and the BMW garage would not give me an estimate without see the car.

are there too many red flags here that it would not be worth parting with my money?

has anyone had and i3 with very high millage such as this and if so have you had any issues with it? have you noticed the battery runs down much quicker?

I bought my 2020 i3 with 109,000 miles and everything is working as it should. I had no concerns really as when talking about EV's, the HV battery is priority.

The dealer priced mine according to it's mileage, so I got a bargain I think. The battery still has over 98% health.

Here's one that had 128,000 miles.
