2015 BMW I3 test Drive
Stopped by a local BMW dealer, Otto’s BMW of West Chester PA. Scott Gatley, was kind enough to let me film the test drive, to get a first look as if we just stopped by the showroom. This was not rehearsed or scripted so thanks to Scott and the nice folks at Otto’s for being so open to the experience. I think it feels real and gives you a nice experience at the same time. The car is a great EV. I think it hits a great balance between performance, driving experience and range. Check out the car when you have time and let me know what you think.
