BMW revolutionized the automotive sector with electric vehicles like the i3, showing that a new era of mobility is upon us. Since the unveiling of its first all-electric i3 model, BMW has been relentlessly pursuing innovative mobility solutions and a revolutionary new form of premium vehicles that meet modern customer requirements while helping to ensure clean mobility.

If you’re considering a versatile and practical electric city car with a reassuring driving range, please visit us at BMW of Columbia, Columbia, SC, and check out our electric BMW vehicles.

BMW i3: Avant-Garde & Proven Performer

The i3 trim offers a robust and dynamic driving capability thanks to a 42.2-kWh lithium-ion battery pack and an electric motor making 168 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. The i3s model uses the same battery set up but ups performance to an impressive 181 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque.

Both vehicles offer a 0.6-liter two-cylinder gas-powered engine for emergency use if the battery’s power is used up. In terms of fuel economy, the i3s gains an EPA-rated 124 MPG equivalent in the city and 102 MPGe on the highway.

Additionally, the i3 provides an EPA-estimated 153 miles of range. However, the all-electric range drops to 126 miles when you add the 2-cylinder gas-powered engine range extender. The combination offers an overall driving range of 200 miles, making for an exciting and effortless city performance.

Safe in the City & Beyond

With the i3, BMW adapts electric mobility to its philosophy of offering a contemporary car that meets the needs of luxury shoppers. As a result, the i3 is equipped with essential accident avoidance features like forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, adaptive headlights, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and front and rear parking sensors.

Other innovations included in the BMW electric car are stop-and-go adaptive cruise control, automatic high-beam headlights, rearview camera, and parallel and perpendicular park assist.
