I would have to disagree with Gothitjulie. I would estimate that the heat pump would help retain range for around the six months of the year that I would prefer heating on in the car, whether on long or short journeys. Using a chunk of battery capacity to provide this doesn’t make sense to me, especially when other EV’s provide this heat pump system as standard. Then again, I feel the cold; part of my condition.
Other tech missing. I believe these would include:
Blind spot detection
ACC
Heads Up display
Wireless Charging
Chargeable Apple Carplay and Android Auto fitment (this was chargeable, not sure if still is).
Matrix LED lights
I feel that the current i3 would be a better proposition if BMW updated the tech to compete with the latest crop of EV’s from the likes of Peugeot, Vauxhall and DS.
Just my 2p worth 🙂
