That cars keep getting bigger, we knew, but you can also overdo it. What a big a $ $ is that BMW i3!

The i3 was first the Mega City Vehicle (MCV). Although this is not as was intended, had a warning for the dimensions of the EV. In comparison with modern cars, he is fairly compact, but in addition to his older family member, he falls quite out of the bridle.

The E39 M5 dates back to the era of 1998 to 2003, and was with his beautiful, with a 4.9 litre V8, a stately lord. This was a large car where you could drive and everyone thought: “so, who has it made”. But less than 4.8 metres to zakensedan saw you, after all, not easily overlooked, especially if there is a significant drift is placed.

Who had imagined that a silly city car the M5 in his shadow would convert? In terms of length win the sedan even with a small 80 inches, but in width they do not much. The i3 is particularly high. The EV standing about 17 inches above the M5, and with the hatchback model is here all the space is utilized.
