We received your request for the i3 extended Test Drive promotion.   I will be contacting you shortly to arrange an appointment to come in and go over the steps and procedures to be completed before we can set up a date to do this. 

Note: You must have a valid US driver's license, have primary auto insurance coverage, be able to meet all loaner car guidelines inclusive of leaving a valid credit card for a damage retainer, and be able to provide access to an electrical source for recharging and meet minimum credit score guidelines.  Our extended test drive program is typically for a period of no more than 24 hours and during the work week.

looks like to be only a 24 hour rental. so not worth it really, unless one is looking for a day rental...

The BMW I3 is a all electric vehicle. I Think it takes 20 hours to be fully charged from a standard household outlet.
Just throwing that out there before you book a test drive.
Happy driving :)

But it didn't stop us from getting a free Lincoln MKS test drive a few years ago for the weekend. Via enterprise and Lincoln.
