If you're not yet quite convinced by the electric vehicle revolution, then maybe BMW's i3s could be the car to do it, especially in this improved form complete with a 120Ah battery offering a long driving range. This is a sportier, more focused version of a model the Munich brand says is all the things you'd expect a compact EV to be - refined, eco-conscious and super-affordable to run. It should certainly surprise you in terms of sheer driving enjoyment. It's all part of BMW's rather different approach to EV motoring. This is the top i3 derivative, the i3s, which has 184hp, 14hp more than the standard version. The handling of the 's' model has been uprated too, with a 40mm wider track, a 10mm lower ride height, larger 20-inch wheels and specially tuned springs, dampers and anti-roll bars. All of that makes this BMW feel even more planted and agile, embellishing this model's reputation as the first EV able to offer genuine driving enjoyment. Predictably also though, the i3s modifications further stiffen up ride quality that was already quite firm in the standard i3, as the engineers sought to reduce the natural tendency of the tall, narrow body to roll around through the corners. There's no kind of adaptive damping system available to minimise the downside here, so even if you're set on an i3s, we'd advise also trying the ordinary variant before you finally decide. Either way, you'll need to manage your expectations when it comes to the top speed, which is pegged at 99mph in the i3s. And you only get that if you're using the standard 'Drive Performance Control' driving modes system in its normal 'Comfort' or more efficient 'ECO PRO' modes. Switch to the third 'ECO PRO+' setting and your velocity will be restricted to just 50mph. The i3s also has an extra 'Sport' mode for sharper throttle response and tighter steering characteristics. What a stunning looking car with the bigger 20" Alloys and the black roof it looks the business.
