In Norway, the i3 will be rather cheap, around the same level as a stripped out 114i. Electric cars can drive in the bus lanes, they pay no road toll, they have free parking, free ferries, and even free charging in some areas. I expect the i3 to sell rather well. The Nissan Leaf has been among the top 5 sold cars lately, and the Tesla Model S topped the list the first month it was delivered.

Well, the electric cars are not really cheaper in Norway, but conventional cars are very expensive here.

The i3 will be the cheapest BMW available here, and older people will like that it is rather tall, as they find the 1-series too hard to get in and out of. That makes the X1 or X3 the alternative if they want a BMW, and they are VERY expensive compared to the i3

BTW: I am also not very impressed by the aero kit and the black tail lights. Prefer the standard M-Sport look.
