BMW i3 is an electric sedan for China

The BMW i3 electric sedan is exclusive to China. It is based on the long wheelbase 3 Series and manufactured through a joint venture between BMW and Brilliance. This sedan version of the i3 is derived from the 3 Series Facelift and has a rear-wheel-drive system powered by an electric motor located at the back. The i3 utilizes a similar powertrain as BMW’s latest electric offerings such as the i4, iX, and the iX3.

You might have observed the letter "L" added to the i3's name, which signifies a more extended wheelbase. The i3 L model has an additional 4.3 inches of space between the wheels when compared to the regular 3-series sedan. In China, there is a higher demand for long-wheelbase versions of luxury sedans due to the prevalence of chauffeurs, which is less common in other places.

do they sell those head pillows on the rear seats separately ?

[seanstewart]

The proportions do look a bit silly in the long wheel base admittedly. Alas I’m not the target customer for this model, but that’s my opinion.

[reetangovindji]

After discount it selling for 25000 Euros 😢

I was wondering what they will do with the name. The i3 was (for some unknown reason to me) already taken by the small ugly one after all. Interesting 🤔

It’s not a bmw it’s an overpriced battery pack as are all electric cars. You are just paying for the design not the bmw engineering. You can get a less expensive, better looking car with better range and performance 😢
