Great photos, Phil! Thanks for sharing. And yes, you were indeed quite lucky to be able to survey the interior. In terms of the tires, it should be noted that it was a brand new development, which BMW has commissioned. Bridgestone likely decided to include them under the Ecopia umbrella, since efficiency apparently was one of the guiding motives of the design process. That said, I would not expect to see the same materials and approach Bridgestone uses in their other Ecopia tires. While I'm not thrilled that Bridgestone was selected as the tire vendor, I'm hopeful that they did a good job with the custom tires for the i3.Boomer23 said:I think that all of the tires are going to be Bridgestone Ecopias (yes, Ecopias). The tire size on the 20 inch wheels are 155/60R 20. Standard wheels are 19 inchers, in one of three different styles.

Can you confirm that the rear windows are fixed, as was stated in one review I read? If so, I've got to wonder if they expect people with dogs to always have the dogs in the front seat. The Honda Element had this issue too, although the windows did at least pop out at the rear.Boomer23 said:That's about all I can recall right now. Happy to answer questions if you think of any.

Also, the front doors need to be open in order to open the rear doors. So rear seat passengers are dependent on front seat occupants to open the front door so they can exit.

Isn't that why they call them suicide doors? :\
