While the number of electric models is increasing day by day, some electric vehicles have already started to complete their life. One of the brands that are assertive about electric vehicles is BMW. While the Bavarian manufacturer continued to increase the number of electric models, on the other hand, it ended the production of its iconic model.
BMW i3 bids farewell to the production line
BMW i3, the brand’s first mass-produced all-electric model, said goodbye to the production line after a long period of production. The model introduced in 2013 is now saying goodbye to us after 9 years. The German brand pulled the plug of the electric vehicle after the 250 thousandth i3 model.
The BMW i3, which has attracted attention with its box-like design since its first release, has been offered for sale in more than 74 countries. In this process, the range and engine power of the electric vehicle, which gained different versions, increased with the innovations made. In this way, the usability and driving pleasure of the BMW i3 are also increased.
BMW has produced a special version called HomeRun to bid farewell to its iconic model. Rising above the i3S model, this vehicle was offered in BMW’s first matte black, as well as Glacier Gray and Glacial Red colours. Bronze details emphasizing this special version are featured on the grille and trunk lid of the vehicle.
Truffle leather, leather instrument panel and bronze details were used in the interior of the vehicle. In addition, special logos reminding that the vehicle is a special version also take their place in the interior. All HomeRun versions equipped with all options were delivered to their customers.
Based on the i3S, the HomeRun version hosts an electric motor that can produce 183 horsepower and 270 Nm of torque. Its 42 kWh battery offers the electric model a range of 246 km according to EPA standards. BMW’s new electric models now have longer ranges.
After 9 years, it was time to say goodbye to the BMW i3. We will wait and see together which model the Bavarian manufacturer will replace the i3 with. So what do you think about the BMW i3? You can share your views with us in the comments section.
