I want to make a withdrawal pretty young I tried both the front and back seats and there is ample room for four adults, pretty much comparable to the space Wayne and I had in the 5-Series that ferried us from JFK into Manhattan. BMW points out that the absence of a transmission tunnel also enables the driver to slide across to the passenger side to exit the car on the sidewalk side of a busy street. Of course, the real challenge for the i3, or any EV for that matter, is where to park; and once parked, where and how to plug it in. And speaking of plugging in, where GM and Ford and Toyota opted to locate the charge port on the driver front quarter panel, BMW chose the right rear. Why? I asked Krantz.
