5 extras you should retrofit on a used BMW i3

We have hand-selected 5 accessories for your BMW i3 that will help make life that little bit easier and look after your investment.

Car Ownership

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.

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.
