I ended up finding it on Netflix, but thank you. It was a good watch as well. My better half keeps telling me its time for the e46 to go but its paid for and I really want my next vehicle to be electric. I've even researched some e46 electric conversions, but I wouldn't have any way to finance such a project. Yes, the i3 is quite a departure from the i8, but I'm just not sure how else BMW could have built/designed it and still made it profitable. They didn't want to make an electric 3er (at that point) because they wanted to create a car that was "born electric." Hopefully we'll see lighter (and electrified) core models before too long. I've also been poking around looking at used i3's, there is some savings there but still none loaded up like I would want.

I was in El Progreso, Honduras a little while back... I had a T1 connection When I see these commercials on TV for Hughes Net or w/e it's called showing farmers wanting satellite internet because they couldn't get anything but 56k otherwise, I remember thinking "Shit, you live on a farm, in America, and still only have dial-up? You might as well just turn Amish."
