ANALYSISHow safe is the 2021 BMW I3 Rex?
The 2021 BMW I3 Rex sits in the Clean burden band, meaning the federal record carries neither recall campaigns nor consumer complaints for this specific model year. A Clean band at five years of age is notable because vehicles in active use typically accumulate at least some complaint filings over time, even when those filings remain unverified allegations. The zero figure here reflects what NHTSA has on record, not a guarantee of a problem-free ownership experience. Because NHTSA has not crash-tested this model year, and because no tested sibling years are on file in the data we cover, there is no structural benchmark to reference. Shoppers relying solely on federal safety data will find a clean administrative record but no occupant-protection score for this year.
