It’s being described as «BMW’s most important new model».<\/b>
\nHistorically, the BMW 3-series has been the most popular part of the company’s line-up for decades, but an electric equivalent has been missing since they started producing the i-series EV’s.
That all changes relatively soon, as BMW is preparing the i3, an electric 3-series sedan, set to be a more affordable entry-point in the line-up. A new press release fit with camouflaged images of the upcoming model has been released, and a promise that they will continue to ramp up production in the second half of 2026.
«Production of pre-series vehicles is an important milestone for our plant», Peter Weber, head of BMW’s Munich factory said. «For the first time, we have built a BMW i3 entirely at our plant\u2014using state-of-the-art manufacturing technology and digitally connected processes.»
It seems like the first models will be delivered in 2026, but exactly when is a mystery, still.<\/p>\n
