You can order a lot things from Amazon, including books, CDs and giant drums of lubricant. If you’re in Japan, though, you can also order a BMW i3.
Yahoo Maktoob News reports sales of the i3 began on Wednesday, a move BMW Japan hopes “will cover the entire market more thoroughly” alongside the 46 dealers already selling the model in Japan, widening the sales channel while providing more convenience to potential owners in so doing.
Those who do order their i3 will have their choice of either the electric-only model or the range-extender version. However, the purchase will only be completed once BMW calls up the would-be owner to request documentation regarding parking and charging space for the vehicle.

Will Amazon accept returns?
The way those body panels are slapped together reminds me of the Crashmobile toy I had as a child. I’d love to kick the front bumper to find out.
“Slapped together”? Have you ever been in a BMW i3, let alone looked at one?
He might not find it in a sea of Kia Souls.
I have a hard enough time ordering a CD from Amazon Japan.
What a train wreck.
I think it’s a great idea. There are 46 BMW dealerships in Japan and I’m assuming the paperwork and delivery is still being handled by the dealer. Seems to me all this does is provide a medium to order the car. I imgaine Japan doesn’t have the cumbersome dealership process that we have in the US, but I’m not sure. This might be purely a matter of conveinience for that market.
Remember back in 2005 when you could buy a Chrysler Crossfire on Overstock.com? That still slays me.
The BMW Aztec.
Wow that’s hideous.
This is quite surprising given that the selection of products on Amazon Japan is an abomination otherwise.
