BMW i. THE FUTURE
OF URBAN MOBILITY.
The world is in motion. We are in motion. And motion always means something exciting: change.
The best example of this is provided by BMW with BMW i – innovative vehicle concepts and
networked services for easier, more intelligent and more sustainable urban mobility. Not tomorrow,
but today. BMW i is proof that sustainability and pure driving pleasure can complement each other
perfectly – always guided by a genuinely global outlook.

THE ELECTRICAL
REVOLUTION:
THE BMW i.
The BMW i is uncompromisingly different in concept and construction for pure electric driving on busy
streets in and around the city. It offers an entirely new experience that combines impressive agility and
exhilaration with the fascination of relaxing, near-silent driving. For longer journeys, the BMW i with
Range Extender automatically starts operating when the vehicle state of charge is deemed critical and
can almost double the range on one tank of fuel, by combining the electric drive system with a twocylinder engine.

A NEW DRIVETRAIN FOR
A NEW AGE – BMW eDrive.
Next generation driving pleasure: the all-electric BMW eDrive system gives the BMW i powerful
torque and impressive acceleration from a standing start. At the same time, the intelligent ECO PRO
and ECO PRO+ modes ensure efficient energy management – for equally impressive range capability.
THE BMW i3 12 | 13
MOBILITY AND AGILITY
REDISCOVERED.
The unique qualities of the BMW i can be experienced at their very best in towns and cities. With the
agile electric motor transferring power directly to the rear wheels, a very small turning circle and direct
steering responses, you will experience pure driving pleasure even at low speeds.
THE BMW i3 14 | 15
INTELLIGENT
CONNECTIVITY.
The BMW i is the first fully online all-electric vehicle, thanks to a bespoke range of BMW i
ConnectedDrive solutions that have been specially developed for electric mobility. The intelligent
BMW i Navigation system calculates the most efficient route to your destination, provides range
assistance and displays charging station locations and availability based on real-time information.
The BMW i Remote app connects your BMW i to your smartphone so you can access all vehicle
data remotely, plan routes and manage charging times from anywhere in the world.

WELCOME TO
THE CARBON AGE.
The passenger compartment is built in high-strength carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) that not only reduces
weight by being % lighter than aluminium but also provides optimum safety while enabling a spacious, open
interior. No central tunnel, a free standing steering column and raised seat positions give the interior a light and
open feel. In addition, the rear seat and two individual front seats generate a completely new, cohesive sense of
space, made even more appealing by the rear coach doors.

ELECTROMOBILITY
MADE TO MEASURE.
The LifeDrive architecture consists of two completely separate units
that together make up the revolutionary BMW i. The upper Life Module
accomodates the passenger compartment, and is made of high-strength
and extremely light carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP). The lower
Drive Module incorporates the BMW eDrive electric system and the
large lithium-ion high voltage battery. The battery cells are fully integrated
into the under section and fill the entire middle area of the Drive Module.
This ensures optimal axle load distribution, a low centre of gravity and,
therefore, excellent driving dynamics. The high voltage battery is
surrounded by aluminium, which protects it from external influences.
Furthermore, since the BMW eDrive system as a whole is significantly
more compact than a comparable combustion engine, the electric motor,
transmission unit and drive electronics can be housed within a very small
area, thereby saving space.
LIFE DRIVE ARCHITECTURE MAKES THE BMW i LIGHTER, ALLOWS AN OPEN
INTERIOR DESIGN AND OPTIMISES DRIVEABILITY AND SAFETY.
The unique interplay of two modules: The
passenger compartment in high-strength and
extremely light carbon fibre reinforced plastic
(Life Module) is connected to the aluminium
chassis (Drive Module) via an innovative
bonding process. Revolutionary vehicle
architecture dispenses with the need for
B pillars and a central tunnel. In turn, this
allows the BMW i to offer unprecedented,
class-leading spaciousness.
Low centre of gravity for high driving dynamics: Aluminium chassis,
electric motor, lithium-ion high voltage battery and Intelligent Energy
Management are combined in the Drive Module. This lowers the centre of
gravity which contributes to the exceptional agility and safety of the
BMW i.
Intelligent, space-saving design: The Drive Module incorporates all the
chassis, heating/air-conditioning and drivetrain components as well as the
high voltage battery. In this way it also contributes to optimum use of space.

driving. And should the maximum service life of the high voltage battery be
reached, thought has also been given to recycling it: for example, as storage
for solar or wind energy.
The entire production of the vehicle is powered completely from renewable
energies. The energy-intensive carbon fibre production plant is located in
Moses Lake (USA), so it can be operated using only the clean energy from
the world’s largest hydropower plant. At the BMW Leipzig site, four
impressive wind turbines were recently constructed and supply renewable
Finally, the running costs for the BMW i are considerably lower, as the

of natural fibres and naturally tanned leather, or climate active
wool and structured textiles, create an innovative interior
experience. The open-pore eucalyptus wood makes a strong
contribution here too, bringing the natural approach to life in
an entirely new way. The aesthetic contrast in materials

short supply routes and ensures sustainability at all stages of
production. Additionally, treatment of the leather using
natural substances creates a sophisticated impression while
also maintaining the individual colour.
Another example of innovative material choice is the climate

THE SUITE INTERIOR WORLD.
The luxurious Suite interior world creates a sophisticated

BMW i’s focus on sustainable and natural materials. It
features sumptuous leather upholstery which has been
naturally tanned using olive leaves, thus ensuring that
sustainability remains at the heart of the BMW i. The
naturally finished Eucalyptus wood on the interior trim is
sourced from sustainable forestries and the use of natural
materials continues with the leather instrument panel, which,
like the seats, features naturally tanned leather. The high

The six colours developed specially for the BMW i have one thing in
common – expressiveness. The colour options include two non-metallic
and four metallic paints which range from the subtle to the overt and can be
combined as you wish with any interior world. The highlights on the side
sills and eye-catching kidney grille are available in either BMW i Blue or
Frozen Grey, depending on your paintwork choice. Thanks to the contrast
between the High-gloss Black element and the exterior colour, the
BMW i stands out from the crowd with its highly individual look.
