BMW is among the world’s largest automobile manufacturers. The company, which also includes the Rolls-Royce and Mini brands, is very popular thanks to the technologies and performance features it offers and reaches good sales figures around the world.
With the attack it has made in recent years, the company wants to transform its cars into electric models. In addition, models with only electric motors appear before us. According to the allegations, the production of the company’s popular electric car will end.
The BMW i3 can bid farewell to us in July!
According to the claims made by an Australian driver, BMW will end the production of the popular electric car i3 in July. The BMW i3 appears as a small hatchback and has been on sale for about 10 years. To date, the i3 is among the cars that have proven its success, selling more than 220,000 units worldwide.
We know that BMW will use the name i3 especially for the electric version of the 3 series sedan model. In addition, the company has a plan to convert the i3 model to the iX1. This strengthens the claims that production will end in July. In addition, the BMW i3 is a difficult vehicle to produce due to the materials it contains.
It is among the vehicles that challenge BMW due to the extensive use of carbon fiber in its structure. Also, because of the carbon fiber costs, the repair costs are too high for car owners. With the make-up operation in 2018, the BMW i3 was renewed and its range increased. In addition, a more performance model, the i3S, was added to the series.
Another curiosity is the crossover model that will replace this small hatchback model. Most likely, the BMW i3 will appear before us as the iX1 with the EV platform developed in partnership with Mini. The company had launched the iX3, electrifying the X1’s big brother, the X3, in recent years. The new model is expected to be produced in China and hit the market between 2023 and 2024.
