Try to find a 2019 (sales began in late 2018) or later because these models have the largest capacity battery pack of any i3, 120 Ah (42 kWh), and thus the greatest range. They also include the mid-cycle improvements (LCI in BMW-speak).

If having the best audio in your vehicles is important, look for an i3 with the Harman Kardon entertainment system option which is better than the standard entertainment system.

If you prefer all-leather upholstery, look for an i3 with the Suite interior which is pretty dark overall. The most striking and brightest interior is Lodge, light brown wool upholstery with light brown leather trim. Loft is a light gray cloth upholstery with light gray synthetic leather trim. Atelier is dark gray cloth upholstery.

Different markets include different options and packages of options. I'm not familiar with what was offered in Italy. With the VIN of an i3 of interest, you could learn which options it has at M Decoder.

Option 5AT, Driving Assistant Plus, includes features like adaptive cruise control and a camera that assists with collision avoidance.

Option 5A4, LED Headlights with Extended Features, includes cornering lights and high-beam LED segments that are automatically turned on and off independently to provide superior lighting without dazzling other drivers.

Option 5AC, High-Beam Assistant, automatically controls the high-beam headlights.

Option 609, Navigation System Professional, includes a wider navigation screen.

Happy hunting!
