As a representative of the new design language, the new BMW i3 is immediately recognisable as a BMW 3 Series – assured, dynamic and intelligent. The hallmark BMW sporty silhouette proportions are reflected in the new 2.5-box design. Notable features are the long wheelbase, the greenhouse that slopes towards the rear, and the short overhangs. The four-eyed face is familiar, yet still new. The BMW radiator grille and twin headlights merge into an innovative light signature, creating a powerful and expressive unit. The rear end, featuring prominently horizontal rear lights, further highlights precision and technological progress.
The prominently flared wheel arches emphasise the sporty, wide stance of the new BMW i3. The interior offers ample space and makes full use of the vehicle concept's capabilities, which are consistently geared towards electromobility. At the same time, the interior represents driver-oriented sportiness. The new BMW Panoramic iDrive not only defines a modern, inviting interior but also ushers in a new level of hallmark BMW driver orientation.
Sportiness and driving pleasure are invariably embedded in the DNA of the BMW 3 Series. The new BMW i3 sets new standards. Maximising the unmatched capabilities of electromobility, it offers impressively precise, effortless, and assured handling. The Heart of Joy high-performance computer shapes the BMW i3 driving experience. Its responses are ten times faster than in previous systems. Together with three other superbrain high-performance computers, the Heart of Joy forms the centrepiece of the new software and electronics architecture.
The new BMW i3 stands out for its excellent suitability for long journeys. Its range is up to 900 km (in accordance with the WLTP test cycle). DC charging capacities of up to 400 kW also drastically reduce charging times. The DC fast charger can recharge energy for up to 400 km in 10 minutes (in accordance with ISO 12906 in the WLTP cycle).
Sixth-generation BMW eDrive technology provides the prerequisites for this rapid progress. It comprises highly efficient electric motors, 800-volt technology, and new high-voltage batteries with new round cells. The cell-to-pack design used enables high energy densities at the pack level and a flatter high-voltage battery. The BMW i3 also features the bidirectional charging functions Vehicle-to-Load (optional AC charging Professional required), Vehicle-to-Home, and Vehicle-to-Grid charging functions.
The BMW i3 is manufactured at the BMW Group plant in Munich, which is the home plant of the BMW Group. For more than a hundred years, the plant in Milbertshofen, in the north of Munich, has been producing premium vehicles. Over the last four years, the plant has seen significant modernisation: Alongside a new body shop, a cutting-edge vehicle assembly area incorporating logistics space has been constructed. The new buildings are in their final stages of expansion.
Production of the new BMW i3 will start in these halls from August 2026. The first vehicles will be delivered in the autumn this year. One year later, the production portfolio will be switched to exclusively fully electric vehicles of the Neue Klasse. The plant conversion includes a large number of modernisation measures.

- Cars today are becoming more and more lifeless, lacking personality. They put as much plastic on them as possible and you say they are Christmas trees. Not to mention that they are also very expensive.- BMW I've been collecting your cars for the last 20 year's but your aesthetic design gets worse and uglier each generation no one in good conscience will think this and the last generation is beautiful stop it!
- they really need to get the Ubisoft treatment and wake the f up already. This looks bland, plasticky and has no coolness and balls, which BMW used to have a plenty. Looking at my 430 2019 with love and sadness.
