BMW i3 loan car program axed

Owners of the BMW i3 will no longer be offered the option to access BMW loan cars if they decide to go for a long-distance road trip.


At the time of the electric city car's launch in 2014, BMW announced a loan-car program for buyers of the i3 that would see those customers able to take advantage of a loan car when they planned to take a longer trip.

That relied upon the notion that the i3 would be the only vehicle that the purchaser possessed, and that hasn't necessarily been the case, according to the brand.

BMW Australia product communications manager Adam Davis indicated to CarAdvice there wasn't much interest in the loan car program.

"There was a scheme under the ‘Flexibility Mobility’ banner launched with i3, but due to a very low take-up rate globally and little local interest, that program was discontinued; most i3 buyers already had an additional car for such trips anyway," Davis said.

"Individual dealers may offer a loan vehicle to i3 owners, but it would be at that dealer’s discretion in terms of cost, time and distance," he said.
