AN OVERVIEW OF BMW i MODELS.

The BMW i3 is introduced into dealerships in 2014. 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 168hp with a torque immediately applied at full power. The BMW i3S, introduced in 2017, travels 10 km/h faster using 181hp. 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 246km 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.

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 536hp* 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 475* kilometers range (BMW i4 e40 EPA) makes this electric vehicle extremely versatile and ideally suited to everyday use.

Production period: from the end of 2021

Engines*: Electric motor (335-536 hp)

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 369hp, 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.

The purist form of the BMW iX with minimal but characteristic lines and seamlessly integrated details that boast a pioneering spirit. What’s more, there is the front T-shape with the slimmest headlamp strips ever built by BMW, combined with the expressive, upright double kidney. Recessed door handles, frameless doors and the generously rectangular contours of the wheel arches unite to create a confident, modern aura.

But the BMW iX is also technically impressive with two powerful electric motors and the BMW xDrive all-wheel electric drive. The BMW iX xDrive40 produces a total output of 322 hp with a range of 320 - 322 km*. The driving experience is heightened to an even greater extent in the BMW iX xDrive 50, with 516 hp and a planned range of up to 521 km*. Using DC fast charging stations the full range can be restored on a charge of less than 40 minutes.
The new iDrive and the comprehensive assistance systems combine with the chassis and drive unit to create an extraordinary driving experience that signals the future: Technical progress, precision and luxury are united in this premium SAV.

Since 2022, the BMW 7 Series (G70) as the new face of the luxury class has seen the light of day by combining pure elegance with outstanding driving characteristics and multi-sensory entertainment.

On the outside, the iconic front and a monolithic design language attract all attention. The illuminated kidney contour and the two-part, slimline LED headlights lend elegance at first glance and are also available on request in a particularly noble version as BMW Crystal Headlights with backlit Swarovski elements. In combination with the impressive lighting of the "Great Entrance Moments" welcome scenario, this creates an image of outstanding and exclusive personality.

In the interior, high-quality materials such as 'Merino' Leather, cashmere wool and Swarovski crystals spread a luxurious ambience. Combined with modern technology ergonomically designed for the driver, the result is an impressive interplay of elegance, comfort and innovation: the multifunctional control element of the BMW Interaction Bar, for example, sets a captivating accent with its crystalline appearance and combines visual and haptic controls. Together with the high-resolution BMW Curved Display featuring a 12.3” instrument display and 14.9” central touchscreen housed in a single piece glass panel oriented toward the driver running iDrive 8, this creates a unique, multimedia cockpit.

In the new BMW i7, however, the driving experience is not just reserved for the driver. Passengers also enjoy full comfort. The optional 31.3'' BMW Theatre Screen creates a large-scale cinema atmosphere. Together with the crystal-clear sound and 4D audio of the optional Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System, the result is a unique rear seat experience that also sends eyes and ears on a journey.

The luxury-class 7 Series Sedan is available as an all-electric pioneer BMW i7 since 2022. Thanks to an output of 536 hp and an all-electric range of up to 512 km, you can enjoy maximum dynamic and flexible sustainable and locally emission-free mobility. Specially composed by Hans Zimmer, BMW IconicSounds Electric accompany every driving mode with a special soundscape to make the driving experience even more immersive and impressive.
