This little ride has an eccentric look and is proud of it! It's easy to see that this isn’t your run-of-the-mill car. It's the first 100% electric car ever sold by BMW. Able to travel nearly 150 km in electric mode, the little i3 can be equipped with an optional 650-cc motorcycle engine that, once the batteries are drained, supplies the electric motor for a few more kilometres.
