2015 BMW i3


2015 BMW i3

An environmentally-conscious car buyer should not have to sacrifice power, luxury, or quality, in order to find a car that fits their lifestyle. BMW recognized the power in creating a line of vehicles that were both road-worthy and sustainable, so the German car manufacturer introduced their BMW i series in 2013. The BMW i3 shortly followed and was automaker’s first zero emissions vehicle that was able to be mass produced. Unlike any other car on the market, the i3 demands attention wherever it goes.

The BMW i3 is currently in its second model year, and the unique electric-powered car received even more standard equipment for the new year. The 2015 i3 is available with or without a range extender and is packed with advanced technology that makes the i3 seem like any other BMW on the market. The 2015 i3 takes being “green,” seriously. The car goes beyond simply providing exceptional efficiency, and provides a secondary level of sustainability thanks to the extensive use of renewed resources. For drivers who are interested in getting the most out of their i3, optional packages are available.

The 2015 BMW i3 is an electric vehicle that performs just as well as its gas-powered counterparts. Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic sets the foundation for the agility and efficiency behind the i3. By using this material, BMW has created its lightest vehicle, while also allowing for optimal space and openness within the cabin. The Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic material used on the i3 is partly made of recycled materials and is created in a facility that is powered completely by hydroelectric power.

With a total range of 150 miles per charge, and over 21,400 public charging stations in the United States, the BMW i3 will get you where you need to go, for much less. Discover a few of the ways that the 2015 BMW i3 is powered, to keep moving forward.

  • Brake Energy Regeneration - The accelerator pedal on the i3 works by converting kinetic energy into electrical energy, and feeding it back into the battery for increased efficiency - every time you step on it.
  • Fast Charging - In a little over 3 hours, your i3 will be fully charged using a Level 2 charging system. Home charging systems are available, on top of various public charging stations throughout the United States.
  • Two-Piece Structure - In order to create the most efficient vehicle possible, BMW engineers designed the i3 in two pieces - the Life Module (the interior cabin) and Drive Module (the frame). This lightweight structure allows for increased driving range, comfort, and agility.  

The 2015 BMW i3 features advanced technology that allows for an electric vehicle to be just as fast as a gas-powered one. Other in-vehicle technology, help bring convenience and practicality full circle. The on-board navigation system comes standard, and intuitively adapts to your unique driving style. Traffic conditions, your i3’s battery state of charge, and topographical information are all taken into account when routing you to your destination. If your i3 needs to be charged prior to reaching your destination, the navigational system will automatically direct you to the nearest public charging station. Further increase your convenience, by utilizing BMW’s iRemote app. This feature can be synced to your smartphone, and can keep you informed of important information. Drivers can check their battery’s charge level, and can even adjust their cabin temperature through their device.
