Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

So, just out of warranty and the charger on the car has died. Unable to charge at all. Ok, when it worked, but build quality is poor. Even when working it rattles inside. Basically, too risky to buy now, wait 4-5 years until they fix the common issues. Have had other issues fixed under warranty, only for them to fail again - out of warranty. The cost of fixing far outweighs the cost of petrol. Buy a regular petrol car. Also depreciates badly, value falls like dropping a brick. If you read EV car forums many owners have the same (and in some cases re-ocurring) issues. BMW badge, but quality far below what you would expect.
