BORN ELECTRIC.

BMW i.

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 car for city driving that is sustainably designed throughout, and the BMW i8 Roadster and i8 Coupé as the most progressive sports car.

MORE THAN A CAR.

BMW i.

Our world is changing rapidly: cities are becoming megacities, while more and more people are moving increasingly frequently from one place to another. At the same, the desire is growing for authentic values and for a sustainable, conscious lifestyle. In BMW i, we are turning to these altered aspirations systematically and comprehensively.

MOBILITY REVISITED.

In BMW i we have called everything that we previously knew about mobility into question. And fully revisited the “concept vehicle”. With new production sites and manufacturing processes. With a powerful and emission-free electric drive. With a visionary, sustainable design. The result is the BMW i3 and the BMW i8 – a modern mobility concept that adapts to individual requirements.

COURAGE AND VISION.

As plug-in hydrids, the BMW i8 Roadster and the BMW i8 Coupé combine the performance of a sports car with the consumption of a compact car.Their design, aerodynamics and stylish details are proof that sustainability is not a sacrifice but an attitude.

LIFE DRIVE ARCHITECTURE.

BMW LifeDrive is the first vehicle architecture designed especially for electric mobility. All the chassis and drive components as well as the battery are accommodated absolutely securely in the drive module. Consequently, the life module is fully available as a usable living space. For the first time, a passenger compartment has been manufactured from high-strength carbon in a production vehicle. Carbon fibres are ten times finer than human hairs. They are extremely robust but weigh only half as much as steel. The means greater safety, less weight and more agility on the road.

THE BORN ELECTRICS.

Since BMW i came into being in 2013, electric pioneers all over the world have been driving, living and sharing our vision of future mobility. On social media platforms they open up their personal spaces, tell us their electric stories and share moments of everyday life with the BMW i3’s.

THE BORN ELECTRICS.

INTELLIGENT SUSTAINABILITY.

Sustainability at BMW i is not simply just a word. It is our supreme guiding principle. This is why we have designed the entire life cycle of the BMW i3 in line with the principle of maximum conservation of resources and sustainability.

DEVELOPMENT.

Instead of integrating just one electric drivetrain into an already existing model, the entire BMW i vehicle concept has been designed especially for electric mobility. This not only affects the aerodynamic vehicle design, but also the materials that are used. Wherever possible, we have employed sustainable or recycle materials.

PRODUCTION.

New energy for new ideas: the BMW i plant in Leipzig obtains 100 % of its energy supply from regenerative sources, among them four wind turbines installed on the site specifically for this purpose. The carbon fibres are produced to 100 % with water power.

USE.

Zero emissions – and almost free of noise and odour. Driving BMW i is not only fun, it also reduces air pollutions, such as in cities. Innovations such as the ECO PRO Mode additionally reduce power consumption and increase the electric range.

RECYCLING.

Time for new values: 95 % of the materials incorporated into a BMW i3 can be recycled. Surplus carbon fibres, for example, can be fed back into the production process or recycled in other areas. The battery modules can also be recycled as interim storage for solar or wind energy plants.

    The values of fuel consumptions, CO2 emissions and energy consumptions shown were determined according to the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version applicable at the time of type approval. The figures refer to a vehicle with basic configuration in Germany and the range shown considers optional equipment and the different size of wheels and tires available on the selected model.

    The values of the vehicles labeled with (²), are preliminary.

    The values of the vehicles labeled with (³), are already based on the new WLTP regulation and are translated back into NEDC-equivalent values in order to ensure the comparison between the vehicles. [With respect to these vehicles, for vehicle related taxes or other duties based (at least inter alia) on CO2-emissions the CO2 values may differ to the values stated here.]

    The CO2 efficiency specifications are determined according to Directive 1999/94/EC and the European Regulation in its current version applicable. The values shown are based on the fuel consumption, CO2 values and energy consumptions according to the NEDC cycle for the classification.

    For further information about the official fuel consumption and the specific CO2 emission of new passenger cars can be taken out of the „handbook of fuel consumption, the CO2 emission and power consumption of new passenger cars“, which is available at all selling points and at https://www.dat.de/angebote/verlagsprodukte/leitfaden-kraftstoffverbrauch.html.
