Prices start at $42,400 for a base i3, compared to $41,350 for 2014. BMW also raised the destination charge $25--to $950--for a total price of $43,350.

The price increase also applies to the range-extended i3 REx model, which starts at $47,200--compared to $46,125 for the 2014 model.

There are no mechanical changes, meaning all i3 models still use an electric motor with 170 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, powered by a 22-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack.

The i3 REx adds a 34-hp, 650-cc two-cylinder gasoline engine boosting range to 150 miles, compared 81 miles for the electric-only version.
