Our first impressions of BMW's final electric test car, converted from a standard BMW 1-Series two-door sedan, are favorable.
It's solid, comfortable, performs well, and feels far more like a production car than its predecessor, the Mini E.
We're on record as calling the Mini E crude and unlikable. That didn't stop its drivers from raving about it, but the ActiveE is simply a far, far better car that we found much more enjoyable to drive.
Our drive came courtesy of electric-car advocate and restauranteur Tom Moloughney, who took delivery of that first ActiveE and spent the weekend getting familiar with it.
He calls it an "electric tank" and highlighted how much more solid and integrated it was than his departed Mini E, which he said was "pretty obviously a conversion."
