Unlike all other electric cars in the segment, the BMW i3 is built on a unique platform. It consists of an aluminium chassis and a carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) body, bonded together.
Luckily, 2025 is starting out with a bang – after the big 7 Series and i7, plus the mid-sized 5 Series and i5, BMW is preparing for the arrival of the all-new 3 Series and the reborn i3.
However, the regular 3er – likely to be known as the G50 – looks set to wear a more conventional skin but with its own take on the Neue Klasse grille and headlights.
