Overview
- BMW introduces the i3 50 xDrive as the second Neue Klasse model with dual‑motor all‑wheel drive rated at 469 CV and 645 Nm.
- The company claims up to 900 km of WLTP range and DC fast charging up to 400 kW that can add about 400 km in 10 minutes.
- The 800‑volt architecture pairs with cylindrical cell‑to‑pack batteries and structural integration to boost energy density and lower the center of gravity, and the cars support V2L, V2H and V2G.
- Inside, the Panoramic iDrive projects across the windshield alongside a 17.9‑inch display, with an AI‑enhanced voice assistant, the “Heart of Joy” high‑performance computing and charge‑aware route planning.
- Market rollout is underway with the iX3 on sale in Spain from €69,900, where BMW cites a 108.7 kWh pack, a combined 805 km range and up to 372 km recovered in 10 minutes, with early drives reporting well‑sorted dynamics.
