The BMW i3 window sticker (Monroney label) lists its original factory MSRP, standard and optional equipment, EPA fuel economy (up to 124 mpg combined) and NHTSA safety ratings. Enter a BMW i3 VIN and the label comes back with that car's own build — free.
The BMW i3 window sticker — build, options & years
The BMW i3 ran from 2014–2021. Its Monroney label captures exactly how each one left the factory — the build, the options it was optioned with and the price, including its electric range and MPGe rating.
Which year's sticker do I need? Any BMW i3 VIN works — ForCar reads the exact model year automatically. On owner data the cleanest years are 2018, 2019, 2020; the most-complained-about are 2017, 2014, 2015. For year-by-year recalls, MPG and safety, see the full BMW i3 VIN decoder.
What the BMW i3 sticker says about fuel
Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the i3, latest tested year 2021:
The label also prints an estimated $1,575 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 28 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the i3 under Subcompact Cars, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker. Electric models are rated in MPGe — miles per gallon of energy equivalent, with 200 miles of EPA range.
How the i3's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 2014 to 2021. Worth checking before you compare a i3 sticker from one year with another:
The figure actually fell by 10 mpg across the span — usually a sign of added weight or power. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.
What a used i3 sells for now
The label froze the i3 price on the day it left the factory; the market has moved since, and this is where it landed: median asking price of the i3 by model year, from 58 live US listings:
| Model year | Median asking price | Sample |
|---|---|---|
| 2017 | 8 listings | |
| 2015 | 17 listings | |
| 2014 | 33 listings |
A 2017 i3 asks a median $11,985 today, a 2014 about $6,900. Full breakdown on the BMW i3 value page.
What's on the BMW i3 sticker
Every Monroney label carries the same required blocks: MSRP with itemised options, EPA fuel economy — for this car 72 mpg combined, NHTSA safety ratings, standard and optional equipment, and parts-content origin. Every i3 VIN returns its own build rather than a generic spec.
For how to read each block, what to do if the sticker is lost, and how it differs from a build sheet, see the window sticker guide.

Where to find the VIN on a BMW i3
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every i3, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a BMW i3 all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A BMW i3 whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
