THE CURRENT BMW i SERIES.

Since 2022, the BMW 7 Series (G70) as the new face of the luxury class has seen the light of day by combining pure elegance with outstanding driving characteristics and multi-sensory entertainment.

On the outside, the iconic front and a monolithic design language attract all attention. The illuminated kidney contour and the two-part, slimline LED headlights lend elegance at first glance and are also available on request in a particularly noble version as BMW crystal headlights 'Iconic Glow' with backlit Swarovski elements. In combination with the impressive lighting of the "Great Entrance Moments" welcome scenario, this creates an image of outstanding and exclusive personality.

In the interior, high-quality materials such as 'Merino' leather, cashmere wool and Swarovski crystals spread a luxurious ambience. Combined with modern technology ergonomically designed for the driver, the result is an impressive interplay of elegance, comfort and innovation: the multifunctional control element of the BMW Interaction Bar, for example, sets a captivating accent with its crystalline appearance and combines visual and haptic controls. Together with the high-resolution, 14.9'' BMW Curved Display, this creates a unique, multimedia cockpit.

In the new BMW i7, however, the driving experience is not just reserved for the driver. Passengers also enjoy full comfort. The optional 31.3'' BMW Theatre Screen creates a large-scale cinema atmosphere. Together with the crystal-clear sound and 4D audio of the optional Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System, the result is a unique rear seat experience that also sends eyes and ears on a journey. 

The luxury-class 7 Series Sedan is available as an all-electric pioneer BMW i7 since 2022. Thanks to an output of 335–485 kW (455–659 hp) and an all-electric range of more than 600 km^[1][2], you can enjoy maximum dynamic and flexible sustainable and locally emission-free mobility. Specially composed by Hans Zimmer, BMW IconicSounds Electric accompany every driving mode with a special soundscape to make the driving experience even more immersive and impressive.

Production period: Since 2022

Engines: 2 electric engines (335–485 kW, 455–659 hp)

Range: up to 624 kilometers^[1][2]

The purist form of the BMW iX with minimal but characteristic lines and seamlessly integrated details that boast a pioneering spirit. What’s more, there is the front T-shape with the slimmest headlamp strips ever built by BMW, combined with the expressive, upright double kidney. Recessed door handles, frameless doors and the generously rectangular contours of the wheel arches unite to create a confident, modern aura.

But the BMW iX is also technically impressive with two powerful electric motors and the BMW xDrive all-wheel electric drive. The BMW iX xDrive40 edition produces a total output of more than 240 kW (326 hp) with a range of 403–435 km^[1][2]. The driving experience is heightened to an even greater extent in the BMW iX xDrive 50, with 385 kW (523 hp) and a range up to 587–633 km^[1][2]. Using fast charging stations (IONITY High Power Charging Stations), the battery can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in less then 40 minutes.

The new iDrive and the comprehensive assistance systems combine with the chassis and drive unit to create an extraordinary driving experience that signals the future: Technical progress, precision and luxury are united in this premium SAV.

Production period: from the end of 2021

Engines: Electric motor (240–455^[4] kW, 326–619^[4] PS)

Range: 403 – 633 kilometers^[1][2]

Striking and superior: these are the all-electric BMW Gran Coupé models. The dynamic, slanted headlamps contribute to the four-door’s expressive character, as do the rear wheel arches and rear side windows which rise toward the tail.

Delivering up to 400 kW (544 hp) from an electric drive means unparalleled driving dynamics thanks to maximum torque, whatever the speed. The BMW i4 glides along smoothly while the occupants enjoy the comfort of its almost silent ride. And the meticulous, precise chassis and steering design always provide the best possible control. Sophisticated weight distribution and the interaction of the suspension and drive components all play decisive roles. The range of up to 589 kilometers (BMW i4 eDrive40)^[1][2] makes this electric vehicle extremely versatile and ideally suited to everyday use.

Production period: 2021 – today

Engines: Electric motor (210 – 400 kW, 286 – 544 hp)

Range: 406 – 589 kilometers^[1][2]

The BMW iX3 with electric drive first comes on the scene in 2021. Even at first sight, the iconic BMW i kidney grilles confidently flaunt the car’s electric nature. Inside, the ambient lighting preset to BMW i Blue as standard gives an air of sustainability. The innovative drive is started by the blue Start/Stop knob. Its responsible approach goes even deeper than this: the electric drive of the BMW iX3 manages entirely without rare earth metals, but at 210 kW (286 hp) it’s also exceptionally powerful. The sensitivity of braking regeneration, i.e. the recuperation of brake energy, can be set to four different levels to suit your desired driving style. This way, the BMW iX3 can travel up to 471 km^[1]. And on the way, it can simply be recharged from 10 to 80 percent^[2] in about 31 minutes at a quick-charging station.


Production period: since 2020
Overall vehicle drive, performance in kW (hp): electric motor, 150–230 kW (204–313 hp) ^[3]

The BMW i3 comes onto the market in 2013. Not only is it the first electric BMW in standard production – it’s also the very first production vehicle to combine a passenger cell of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic with an aluminium chassis. This means it weighs exactly the same as a conventional compact car with combustion engine – despite the battery. In addition, many of its parts are made from renewable raw materials.

The electric motor produces 125 kW (170 hp) and full torque is available with the first revolution. The BMW i3S, introduced in 2017, runs 10 km/h faster using 135 kW (184 hp). From 2016 the battery has a capacity of 94 Ah. The introduction of the BMW i3 with a 120 Ah cell means that the optional range extender (a gasoline engine to charge the battery) has been unavailable in German models since 2018. The range reaches up to 307 km^[1][2] and the battery can be charged to 80% within 42 minutes at a fast charging station^[3]. Well over 200,000 vehicles have been built.

A 33.2 kWh battery is added in 2016. And in 2018, this capacity increases all the way up to 42.2 kWh. Now the BMW i3 achieves a range of 307 km (WLTP)^[1]. At a quick-charging station with more than 50 kW, it is fully charged in a mere 1.4 hours. Over 250,000 BMW i3 and BMW i3s vehicles have rolled off the production line and onto roads around the world.

Production period: 2013 – 2022

Engines: Electric motor (125 – 135 kW, 170 – 184 hp), optional range extender available until 2018 (0.65 l gasoline engine, 28 kW, 38 hp)

Length/width/height: 3,999 – 4,011 mm/1,775 mm/1,578 mm

Range (electric): 307 km^[1][2]
