BMW i Series on its way!!!!!!!!!!!!!



The future BMW ‘i’ models have been snapped while winter testing. The BMW i3 and BMW i8 are the first models in the newly announced range and are a citycar and coupé, respectively. The i3 has been previously known as the BMW Megacity vehicle and has been in the works for some time. It’s still not clear whether it will be an all-electric vehicle or a hybrid model.
The i8 will be the production version of BMW’s fascinating Vision EfficientDynamics concept car. It’s designed to be a two-seater hybrid super coupé and should join the i3 in a 2013 release. The i8 is a snazzy-looking model under the limited camouflage, having the wide stance and sweeping lines of the concept it’s based on. After first appearing in 2009 as the concept model, a 2013 launch date seems quite a way off given it’s frolicking out and about without much dress on.
The BMW i3 on the other hand, looks more like a classic citycar model, totally out of BMW character. While the i8 will be predictably expensive and luxurious, a reported price tag of 40,000 euros doesn’t make the i3 economic, either. It will probably reach the market right after the i8 and the two will represent the opposite poles of the ‘i’ range before other models are developed.
