BMW i is a BMW sub-brand, and the BMW i3 is the electric version, launched in April 2014, offering “sustainable mobility for urban environments.” BMW i products and services make use of innovative techniques enabling them to realize sustainable mobility through specialized design, development, planning, production and sales. The BMW i3 is an extremely lightweight vehicle, the first mass-produced vehicle to be made using CFRP (carbon-fiber reinforced polymer) for its main body structure, offsetting the extra weight of the battery. This body structure is extremely strong, offering excellent protection for the driver and passengers. The car’s low center of gravity ensures superb vehicle handling and performance.
