Build Your BMW i3: The Configurer With Pricing is Now Live

Once the US i3 options pricing specs were public it was just a matter of time before the i3 configurer would be live. It's now up and you can design your own i3, add and remove options and see how it looks with different color and wheel combinations. The range extender isn't an add on option though, instead it's treated as if it is a different vehicle entirely even though everything else is the same as the BEV i3 (with the exception of the rear wheel size if you get the standard style 427 wheels).

I'm happy to report BMW didn't do what some other EV manufacturers did and build the $7,500 Federal Tax Rebate directly into the price. They clearly show the "Total MSRP as Built" and then have a line that says "Estimate" to indicate that you may be eligible for the tax credit and also offers a line to see if your particular state has additional incentives. Additionally there is a Gas Savings calculator to estimate how much you can potentially save in gas but that's very difficult to say without knowing what car you are displacing, how much you pay for electricity, if you have solar, etc.
