The BMW i3 was rather well-specced from the factory, with only a few items listed in the optional extras section of the order form. This list included things like seat heaters and Park Distance Control. While you may be able to swing by your dealer and have some missing items retrofitted, we're going to look at some extras that you can procure yourself.

The team over at InchCape have a host of aftermarket accessories for the BMW i3 that will help make life a little easier for you. Their fairly extensive list of items are tailored for the BMW i3 and we've chosen 5 of them to showcase here.
1. Aluminium pedal set
Dress up the interior and treat your feet to some rubber and brushed-aluminium pedals for all three pedals, the accelerator, brake and dead-rest. You'll be amazed how a simple change like this can alter the way things look and feel.
2. Rear blinds
There's not a great deal of space in the rear of an i3 but keeping the little ones cool in the back when the sun is beating down will make your life a lot easier (trust us on this). With this set of pop-up window blinds, you'll be able to keep the harsh light out and cut down on the intensity of the airconditioning.
3. Windscreen cover
For anyone's i3 who spends any amount of time outside, be it during the day or overnight, windscreen protection is a must-have. Not only will it keep the interior cooler in summer and demand less from the aircon later on, but it will also protect the windscreen from the elements.
4. All-weather floor mats
Keeping the carpets clean can be a chore, especially when you're out and about and not just going between the home and office. Mud and dirt, grass and leaves can all be kept off of your carpet, protecting your investment, with this fitted all-weather carpet for the i3.
5. Boot liner with loading edge protection
Whether it's the golf clubs, shopping bags or the dogs, loading things in and out of the i3 boot leaves it exposed to bumps and scratches. This boot liner features a fold-down flap to protect your paintwork and will allow you to load up what you need with complete peace of mind.
