Developed to keep you safe.

A comprehensive array of sensors, radar systems and cameras monitors the surroundings of your BMW i3, detecting obstacles and other road users early and delivering precise data to the driver assistance systems.¹⁰

Driving Assistant Plus.

The system makes steering and braking easier for you. The Driving Assistant Plus³ can detect speed limits, and even adapts the speed as needed when approaching corners, roundabouts and junctions. If you wish, it can control the speed and distance from the vehicle in front and help you to keep your BMW in lane.³, ¹⁰

Progress is the sum of all efforts.

The carbon footprint of the new BMW i3 Sedan is 28% smaller than a comparable fully electric BMW model from the previous generation.¹¹ We're committed to using secondary materials, systematically applying "Design for Circularity" principles throughout. That's why approximately 31% of the new BMW i3 50 xDrive Sedan consists of recycled materials, with the seat upholstery in the Econeer equipment variant, the centre console and instrument panel all developed with circularity in mind.

¹ The stated values are based on the mandatory WLTP measurement procedure. The real life values depend on various factors, e.g. cargo weight, driving style, route, weather conditions, auxiliary electrical consumption (including air conditioning), tires, battery state of health.

² The range after 10 minutes High-Power-Charging was determined according to ISO12906 in the WLTP cycle. This, as well as the charging performance depend on vehicle equipment, the state of charge and health of the battery, battery temperature, individual driving profile, use of auxiliary users, ambient temperature, and the charging power provided at the charging station.

³ Equipment optionally available.

⁴ This requires BMW ConnectedDrive Services and a suitable smartphone. The availability and functions of the My BMW App vary by market and model. 

⁵ The availability of apps and content may change at any time and may vary from country to country.

⁶ Expected availability: 2027.

⁷ The charging performance depends on the state of charge, ambient temperature, individual driving profile and use of auxiliary consumers.

⁸ Can only be used with the appropriate charging cable/adapter. 

⁹ Bidirectional charging requires corresponding equipment, which is optionally available depending on the model and market. The specified maximum charging and discharging capacities may vary depending on the country and infrastructure. Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) and Home Backup System are only possible with the optional equipment AC Charging Professional (SA4U6) and the associated BMW adapters (accessories) (expected to be available from the fourth quarter of 2027).

¹⁰ The availability, system limits and range of functions may vary by country.

¹¹ Model for comparison: BMW i4 M60 xDrive. Using power from the European electricity mix and assuming a distance covered of 200,000 kilometres.

 

The values of fuel consumptions, CO2 emissions and energy consumptions shown were determined according to the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version applicable at the time of type approval. The figures refer to a vehicle with basic configuration in Germany, the range shown may consider optional equipment including the different size of wheels and tires available on the selected model. 

The CO2 efficiency specifications are determined according to Directive 1999/94/EC and the European Regulation in its current version applicable. The values shown are based on the fuel consumption, CO2 values and energy consumptions according to the WLTP 4 cycle for the classification.

When charging times are shown they can be affected by a number of factors such as type of charger, voltage supplied to the charger/car and type of current (AC or DC) supplied to the charger/car. The car also plays a role in charging times as it can be set by the driver to accept various different amperage and should preconditioning be used to heat or cool the vehicle while charging this will also affect the charging time.

When available, the basis for the calculation of the charging times for 100 km range is the electric consumption of the vehicle based on the use of a high-Powered Charging station (HPC) or charging type and current as indicted in the literature above. The testing procedure measures are based on a 23 degrees Celsius battery start and ambient temperature with certification values excluding additional auxiliary consuming devices and systems within the vehicle such as seat heating, displays, air conditioning.

Individual consumption (fuel economy) may differ due to driving profile, vehicle load profile, auxiliary consumer usage, temperature, and ambient conditions. Consumption is based on WLTP conditions and is independently tested for BMW Group. If you are comparing this range with other models or brands make sure they are stating the same WLTP, other standards including NEDC can vary considerably. These results can be used to compare vehicles on a close to “like for like” basis but are unlikely to be achieved in real world conditions for reasons including temperature variation, driving conditions and the use of the auxiliary systems referred to above.
