BMW is wrapping up the production of the i3 EV with the launch of 18 final examples finished in Galvanic Gold and Black.
The manufacturer held a special event dedicated to this final batch, highlighting the fact that the i3 had been a successful model throughout its eight and a half years in production, selling around 250,000 units and becoming the company’s most successful EV on record in terms of unit sales.
To recap, the i3 is a high-riding electric hatchback introduced in 2013 with range options between 130 and 246 km (80 – 153 miles). Even though the production is over, the i3 badge stays on the market, because the company is offering an all-electric sedan with that name in China.
