THE SPIRIT OF THE TIME, WITH A MODERN INTERPRETATION.
FASHIONABLE, ALL-AROUND.
The exterior of the BMW i3 communicates agility from the very first glance. And it declares it in style. Dual-colour painted surfaces and short projecting edges are a model of modern design. The characteristic stream flow of the windows, which makes them appear as though they were a single surface, completes the appearance and provides a spacious panoramic view.
COMPLETE WITH INTEGRATED FREE SPACE.
The unique and spacious interior of the BMW i3 is palpable after just a single glance through the opened coach doors. The open, inviting design makes entry and loading simple and comfortable – without disregarding safety, since the closed doors assume the protective function of the B-pillar.
FASCINATING AT THE FIRST GLANCE.
The BMW i3 has "dynamic" written all over it. Its standard U-shaped LED headlights flank the symbol of the brand: the closed kidney. Below them, the bumper visually stretches out the front of the vehicle with large design turn signal lights and lends them an extremely powerful expressiveness in doing so.
SPORTINESS TO THE POINT.
The diffuser-like rear bumper measures 40 millimetres more than on the previous model and dominates the width of the rear. Positioned on the glazed tailgate, the letterings 'eDrive' and 'i3' are shifted outwardly and furthermore underline the sporty and solid stance. The logo with BMW i blue accents accentuate the characteristic black belt and highlight once more the evident sportiness.
THE GREATEST EFFECT IS IN THE DETAILS.
Selected accents round out every appearance. The BMW i3 demonstrates this in its purest form. The A-pillar and the roof pillars in black high-gloss with a trim strip in Chrome matt are examples of these fine details. They emphasise the innovative design of the vehicle and lend it a certain elegance.
BEAMING PRESENCE.
The particularly powerful front headlights utilise state-of-the-art LED technology for the low and high-beam headlights, side lights, daytime running lights and indicators. The road is better illuminated and objects at night appear in greater contrast. Headlight range control happens automatically. The side lights and daytime running lights come in a U-shape look. The high-beam headlights illuminate the road extremely brightly and evenly for several hundred meters.
Optional adaptive LED headlights are available featuring cornering light technology and anti-dazzle High-Beam Assist.
TURN NIGHT INTO DAY.
The LED rear lights in the characteristic U-shape BMW i look include tail lights, brake lights and indicators. The light units also ensure good visibility in poor conditions and extend from the flanks right round to the tailgate. Reversing lights, rear fog lights and reflectors are integrated into the bumper on the right and left side.
MORE LIGHTNESS. MORE AGILITY.
As part of BMW's intelligent lightweight construction, the carbon roof made of carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) helps to reduce the car's mass, and shifts the car's centre of gravity lower. This leads to an increase in agility and dynamics when taking a bend, accelerating and braking.
UNIQUE CHARACTER – IN ALL ITS FACETTS.
Individuality can be expressed in many ways. Just like the modern colour schemes of the BMW i3, which includes six brilliant colours. First available in elegant Imperial Blue and powerful Melbourne Red, both with a highlight in Frozen Grey metallic. Colours that thrill with clarity and luminance. The fitting 19” and 20” light alloy wheels with various rim designs enhance the progressive appearance.
Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Power consumption and CO2 emissions for the BMW i3 (120 Ah):
Fuel consumption in l/100 km: 0
CO2 emissions in g/km: 0
Power consumption in kWh/100 km: 13.1
Electric range in km (combined): 285 – 310
Customer-oriented electric range in km: Up to 260
These values are provisional figures and have not yet been confirmed.
The figures for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption depend on the wheel and tyre sizes selected. Consumption data is determined in accordance to the ECE driving cycle.
The driving range depends on a variety of factors, especially: personal driving behaviour, selected route, weather conditions, usage of heating/cooling and preconditioning.
Further information about the official fuel consumption and the official specific CO2 emissions for new passenger automobiles can be found in the 'New Passenger Vehicle Fuel Consumption and CO2 Emission Guidelines', which are available free of charge at all sales outlets.
*The published fuel consumption and CO2 emission figures are established according to legislated technical specifications (UNECE Regulation 101/UN Regulation 83 and SANS 20101 standards), which sets out the procedures that are used to measure the CO2 emissions and fuel consumption. The claimed figures are established using specific tests under standardised, carefully controlled conditions and may differ from consumption achieved under real world conditions with the influences of altitude, road surface, geographic conditions, vehicle options, temperature, humidity, tyres size and driving behaviour amongst others.
