2015-2018

The BMW i3, produced from 2015 to 2018, is an innovative electric vehicle (EV) designed for urban mobility and sustainability. It represents BMW’s commitment to eco-friendly transportation and incorporates several cutting-edge technologies. One of its most notable features is its carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) construction, which makes it lightweight while maintaining structural integrity. The i3’s unique design combines a futuristic appearance with a compact footprint, making it ideal for city driving and parking in tight spaces. Inside, the i3 offers a spacious, modern cabin with eco-friendly materials like sustainably sourced wood and recycled plastics. The absence of a traditional center tunnel allows for an open and airy feel, while the iDrive infotainment system provides access to various functions and navigation. As an electric vehicle, it features a purely electric drivetrain, eliminating tailpipe emissions. Additionally, the i3 can be equipped with an optional range extender (REx) that includes a small gasoline engine to generate electricity when the battery is depleted, alleviating range anxiety.
