“The BMW I3. It was a ground-breaking design and is still exotic, even by today’s standards. Disclaimer: I own one and drive it daily. 51k miles on it and climbing.
“The carbon fiber body flexes while driving which sets off the rear door sensors...all the F’ing time. Go around a corner ‘the left/right rear door is open’ Of course the car totally ignores the fact that the rears are suicide doors and locked in by the fronts...which are closed. This also constantly cycles the door locks while driving.
“The ver one power cables are all along the bottom of the car and have resistance sensors in them...which fail when they get a little moisture inside. ‘Drivetrain Error.’ A chronic problem that BMW doesn’t want to acknowledge or fix.
“The motor mounts are plastic and prone to break because the electric motor is allowed to shift back and forth during acceleration and braking.
“The rEX (range extender gasoline generator) is a great idea that was severely hindered by gov regulations and turned into an emergency system that only works at 5%. It is also not strong enough to compensate for speeds above 60 (and that’s with the climate control off).
“Had I paid $50k+ for this car, I’d hate it with every fiber of my being. I paid much less then half for a used one so it has personality...but some things are still really dumb and poorly designed.”
