BMW has revealed its all-new all-electric i3 – a car that BMW describes as being “the start of a new era” and “the core of the brand”. It’s so important to BMW that it’s being built at a heavily revised factory in the company’s home town of Munich.
While the i3 name might be familiar, this is a very different proposition to the quirky hatchback that first wore the badge between 2013 and 2022. This new i3 is effectively the electric version of the 3 Series, and it’s also the second model in BMW’s all-new Neue Klasse family – following the impressive iX3 – that will underpin the brand’s future.
