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.


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, the BMW i3 impresses with its breath-taking acceleration, from low speeds or even from standstill – and with a high-voltage battery (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.


The most progressive sports car: more efficient – through intelligent lightweight construction with carbon and an aerodynamic design. 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 i Series BMW i4 G26 first generation three-quarter front view driving

Impressive and confident are the watchwords for the all-electric BMW i4. 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 591* 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: 493 – 591 kilometers (WLTP*)
