BORN ELECTRIC: AN OVERVIEW OF THE BMW i MODELS.
BMW i4 M50
BMW i5 M60 xDrive
The iX
BMW iX M60
BMW i is a comprehensive and ground-breaking concept for sustainable mobility. It represents visionary electric vehicles and mobility services, inspiring design and a new understanding of premium that is strongly defined by sustainability. And it thrills with its innovative vehicles: the all-electric BMW i3, a locally emission-free vehicle for city driving that is sustainably designed throughout, and the BMW i8 concept as the future of the sports vehicle.
BMW i3: The BMW electric car.
Electric and electrifying: every detail, every characteristic, everything in the BMW i3 with eDrive is designed to complement vibrant city life. Powered by its fully emission-free electric motor, the BMW i3 guarantees urbane mobility where a city car needs it most: in city centres with restrictions already in place for certain vehicles. From an ecological perspective, this electric car impresses with its breath-taking acceleration, from low speeds or even from standstill – and with a high-voltage lithium-ion high-voltage battery with a range of up to 160 km, it covers all destinations even in the catchment area of a metropolis. And also allows convenient overland trips without concern about the range.
BMW i8 Roadster and Coupé: the BMW hybrid cars.
The most progressive sports car: more efficient – through intelligent lightweight construction with carbon and an aerodynamic design. These hybrid cars are even more sustainable – with recyclable materials in the interior. Without forfeiting dynamics and its sporty appearance. No compromises, but rather the optimal combination of driving pleasure and responsibility. The BMW i8 is a plug-in hybrid that brings together the advantages of electromobility and innovative engine technology. The result is an extraordinarily dynamic driving experience – with extremely low consumption and CO2 emissions.
BMW i3.
An electric car with exceptional driving dynamics and cutting-edge technology. The BMW i3 is a vehicle for people who know what they want and is an expression of a trailblazing lifestyle. It combines sustainability with emotion, intelligent efficiency with sporty driving. This is what pure driving pleasure feels like.
THE FIRST GENERATION (i01).
The BMW i3 is introduced into dealerships in 2013. It is not only the first BMW with an electric motor, but also the first mass-produced vehicle ever with a carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) passenger cell. Its curb weight is similar to a normal compact car, even with the battery. Many BMW i3 components are also made of renewable raw materials.
The electric motor produces 170 hp (125 kW) with a torque immediately applied at full power. The BMW i3S, introduced in 2017, travels 10 km/h faster using 184 hp (135 kW). From 2016 the battery has a capacity of 94 Ah. The introduction of the BMW i3 with a 120 Ah cell means that the optional range extender (a gasoline engine to charge the battery) has been unavailable in German models since 2018. The range reaches up to 307 km (WLTP*) and the battery can be charged to 80% within 42 minutes at a fast charging station. Well over 200,000 vehicles have been built so far.
Production period: 2013 – today
Engines: Electric motor (125 – 134 kW, 170 – 184 hp), optional range extender available until 2018 (0.65 l gasoline engine, 28 kW, 38 hp)
Length/width/height: 3,999 – 4,011 mm/1,775 mm/1,578 mm
Range (electric): 307 km (WLTP*)
*Further voluntary information. More information on WLTP and NEDC testing procedures can be found at www.bmw.de/wltp.
BMW i4.
The first all-electric Gran Coupé of the BMW 4 series sets new standards. Extraordinary performance is combined with excellent comfort and emission-free local driving.
THE FIRST GENERATION (G26 BEV).
Striking and superior: these are the all-electric Gran Coupés BMW i4 eDrive40 and BMW i4 M50 models. The dynamic, slanted headlamps contribute to the four-door’s expressive character, as do the rear wheel arches and rear side windows which rise toward the tail.
Delivering up to 544 hp** (400 kW**) from an electric drive means unparalleled driving dynamics thanks to maximum torque, whatever the speed. The BMW i4 glides along smoothly while the occupants enjoy the comfort of its almost silent ride. And the meticulous, precise chassis and steering design always provide the best possible control. Sophisticated weight distribution and the interaction of the suspension and drive components all play decisive roles. The range of up to 590* kilometers (BMW i4 eDrive40 WLTP*) makes this electric vehicle extremely versatile and ideally suited to everyday use.
Production period: from the end of 2021
Engines**: Electric motor (250 – 400 kW, 340 – 544 hp)
Range: 416 – 590 kilometers (WLTP*)
*Further voluntary information. More information on WLTP and NEDC testing procedures can be found at www.bmw.de/wltp.
** These figures are anticipated values and not yet officially confirmed.

THE FIRST GENERATION (i12, i15).
The fuel consumption of a small car with the performance of a sports car – the BMW i8 has it all thanks to its hybrid engine. With electric front-wheel drive, the coupé travels at up to 120 km/h, and the three-cylinder TwinPower Turbo engine powers the rear axle. The system delivers 362 hp (266 kW), and since 2018, 374 hp (275 kW), ensuring a driving dynamic that combines the best of both worlds. This pioneering vehicle is also the first production vehicle to offer optional laser light headlamps. From 2018, the BMW i8 is also available as a roadster, with more than 20,500 units built.
Production period: 2013 – 2020
Engines: 1.5 liter hybrid drive (170 kW, 231 hp), 3-cylinder + electric motor (131 – 143 hp, 96 – 105 kW), combined performance 362 – 374 hp, 266 – 275 kW
Length/width/height: 4,689 mm/1,942 mm/1,289 – 1291 mm
Range (electric): 37 – 55 kilometers (NEDC*)
