The BMW Of Electric Cars

The iconic and eye-catching BMW kidney grille features a frame with accents in blue, as a nod to the vehicle s flow of electric power from its motors.

In addition, the i3 s striking U-shaped LED daytime running lights are a fresh interpretation of BMW light design and give the front of the vehicle a distinctively impressive look.

The high-gloss black element which runs from the bonnet, across the roof and to the rear is particularly striking; it visually divides the new BMW i3 and emphasises its dynamic character.

Sustainably Engineered

The BMW i3 marks a new era in sustainable mobility, so your driving has less impact on the world around you. From natural to recycled materials, the i3 has been built with a conscience.

Approximately 27 used plastic bottles go into every new BMW i3 to form parts of the seats and doors, whilst a usual car s petroleum-based plastics have been replaced by natural materials like Kenaf, which is harvested from malva plants and is 30% lighter.

In addition, the i3 has been manufactured in BMW s state-of-the-art Leipzig plant, in which the production line runs entirely on renewable wind power. Through and through, the i3 is car sent from the future.
