The BMW i3 is scheduled to hit the market in 2013 and is expected to come as a plug in electric vehicle or come with a range extender.

The car is used to be known as the Megacity Vehicle with its initial design veering away from the low standing small cars of the BMW garage but giving it a more upright look for better visibility. The car can seat four adults with around 200 liters of space for your luggage.

Like its sibling the i8, the BMW i3 makes use of the platform that revolves around carbonfiber strengthened plastic on a mostly aluminum chassis. The German car manufacturer expects that production version of the i3 to tip the scale at 1,270 kilograms. The dimensions are expected to be 2011 mm (width), 3,845 mm (length), and 1,537 (height).

Comparing the numbers of the BMW i3 to the Mini One, the i3 will be 265 kilos lighter, 326 mm wider, 132 mm higher, and 120 mm longer. The i3 has a bigger footprint than the Mini One but it is still smaller compared to the other existing models in the BMW garage.

BMW also boasts that the i3 will have good handling and will come very stable as it houses its lithium ion battery under a section of its flooring.

At the moment, the BMW i3 sporting a pure electric drive train is undergoing testing as part of Active E 1 Series prototypes. The development of the i3 started back in 2009.

The 2011 BMW Z4 sDrive35 can get up to about 60mph in just about 4.7 seconds … which to me is absolutely incredible!  The speed that BMW has packed into this car is awesome and I can tell you from experience that the overall feel of the 2011 BMW Z4 sDrive35is is like nothing that you have ever experienced.

If you want a once in a lifetime experience in a sports car, the 2011 BMW Z4 sDrive35is is definitely the car for you!
