Over 400 miles. Still waiting to get wall charger on line. It takes 14+ hrs to charge via 120 volt ( level 1) Very pleased with how quick it is even in Eco Pro mode. Miss the handling of the 335d. ( skinny tires and more body roll in i3)

There isn't much internal noise in any electric car, but the i3, depending on cross-winds, can exhibit some wind noises at speed - they may appear louder since there's nothing much else to cover them up. Sometimes, it's very quiet, sometimes it's very noisy even on the same roads at the same speeds. Around town, it's almost silent.

I've not noticed any appreciable tire noise, but will be switching to winter tires in the next couple of months, and that might differ. The 20" summer tires do tend to make a noise when turning at certain speeds.

Great color, congrats!

I'm 95% sure I'll keep my e46 if we get one. Its paid for and really not worth much on trade.
