From the chassis to the passenger cell – the intelligent combination of driving and and lightwheight components enable the unparalleled dynamics of the BMW i3. Thanks to the fully-electric drive train BMW eDrive, the BMW i3 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.3 seconds, without interruption. The BMW i3s sprints even faster, with 6.9 seconds. The electric engine of the BMW i3 with a performance of 170 hp and a torque of 250 Nm provides emission-free driving pleasure for up to 200 km. The optional Range Extender switches on when the battery is low on charge, and can extend the range up to 330 km. The Life module describes the modern passenger cell made of carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP). Also often referred to as carbon, this material is not just particularly light but also stronger and more resilient than steel. The low weight and low-lying centre of gravity boost both agility and range.
