BMW i is the re-invention of sustainable mobility. Comprising visionary electric vehicles, mobility services and inspiring design, with premium options at every touch point, and all defined by sustainability. It begins with innovative vehicles: the all electric BMW i3, designed for city driving and sustainably manufactured, and the BMW i8 - our most progressive sports car ever.
Our world is changing rapidly: cities are becoming megacities, more people are moving more often, yet there’s a growing desire for authentic values and a sustainable lifestyle. In BMW i, these 21st century aspirations are met systematically and comprehensively.
With BMW i we questioned every assumption about travel and re-thought what a “concept vehicle” should be. The result was new production sites and manufacturing processes, a powerful and emission-free electric drive, and a visionary, sustainable design. The result is the BMW i3 and the BMW i8.
From the chassis to the passenger cell – the intelligent combination of driving and lightwheight components enable the unparalleled dynamics of the BMW i3. Thanks to the fully-electric drive train BMW eDrive, the BMW i3 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.3 seconds, without interruption.

BMW LifeDrive is the first vehicle architecture designed especially for electric mobility. Chassis, drive components and battery are accommodated securely in the drive module, allowing the life module to be dedicated passenger space. The life module is manufactured from high-strength carbon, a first for a mass production vehicle.
Carbon fibres are finer than human hairs, weigh only half as much as steel, yet are extremely robust. The means greater safety, less weight and more agility on the road.
BMW i offers a comprehensive charging service when on the move, with the world’s largest network of public recharging stations.
