BMW i3 electric vehicles more details
The BMW i3 we have been so often described that moment, when he will be officially presented, is almost a disappointment. Because what we really have to tell about BMW's all-electric car? Nothing indeed. And actually everything, because today all the pieces finally fall into place. This is the BMW i3. Includes all the ins and outs.
BMW has been working since 2007 in full it’s "project i" with the aim to bring. Electric car on the market or actually a series of electric cars. Specially founded the South German carmaker its own sub-brand "BMW i" and presented the three years since the i3 and i8 concept cars. In the years that followed, we were warmed up more and more for the arrival of two BMW i3 electric and in particular. There was hundreds of millions invested in grooming the production sites and in the meantime was the development and test work in full swing by. It has been working towards this moment: the official launch of BMW's first electric car, the i3.
It remains used
although BMW has to stand with the i3 us so much eye to eye all the necessary design remains exciting surprise. Because that emblem between the two characteristic BMW kidneys continues to call other expectations. The pretensions of sportsmanship, passion and driving pleasure. And though the i3 so nice drive, when you see him get now are not determined to be dealing with a family of cars like the 3 Series, M5 and Z4. Feeling us in any case.
CFRP
Partly due to the relatively heavy technique of batteries, BMW is raised as a pioneer of CFRP, the very light but super strong plastic that is reinforced with carbon fiber. The entire passenger compartment is made out. BMW did this to keep up to 1,195 kg (1,315 with Range Extender). Reduces the weight Moreover, it was relatively easy to drop. B-pillar in combination with the suicide doors and the car completely flat floor gives a very spacious feeling.
Suicide doors
that has access to the interior of the i3 will provide the selected version (Loft or Lodge Suite) are treated to a mix of natural materials such as leather, wood, wool and various other recyclable materials. Dependent the seats, two front and two rear, are designed as thin as possible to maximize interior space to offer. Extremely high is the i3 otherwise not. Within the length of 3,999 mm, width of 1,775 mm and height of 1,578 mm has room for four passengers and 260 liters of luggage. But luxury amenities then again in abundance. Both the disposal as well as the (audio) entertainment be displayed on a two separate monitors. We also see iDrive, a Bluetooth car kit, climate control, LED headlights, large glass sunroof and BMW's Connected Drive for comprehensive online connectivity.
Electric motor
all interesting, but the main novelty of the i3 is still subcutaneous find. The drive of the i3 is a rear-mounted electric motor with 170 hp and 250 Nm. Partly due to this construction and the drive to the rear wheels is a perfect weight distribution of 50/50 achieved. The electric motor itself weighs just 50 kg and know the i3 in a speedy 7.2 seconds (7.9 seconds with Range Extender) to do accelerating. To 100 km / h On the intermediate acceleration from 80 to 120 km / h is done 5 seconds and that will take place very gradually, because BMW has the power output linearly aligned to the higher speed regions. The shipment is made via a single-stage transmission that finally at 150 km / h stops as a conduit.
City Rakker
The i3 is ideal for city dwellers, BMW claims. The direct steering response and a small turning circle of just 9.86 meters make the car easy to maneuver between traffic. The specifically designed with narrow wheels 155 mm tires have minimal rolling resistance which in turn contributes to a higher range. On a full charge, the i3 a distance of 130 to 160 kilometers on. In the energy-saving ECO PRO mode, the range of about 20 kilometers and increases in ECO PRO + is 40 kilometers.
When driving in the city is the recovery mode active. When the accelerator pedal is released, the electric motor acts as a generator. This has an inhibitory effect, causing the brake pedal in traffic hardly need to be used (single-pedal control concept). At higher speeds, such as on the highway, the so-called coasting mode active the drive disengages when releasing the accelerator pedal.
i3 with Range Extender
In response to customers who want to have an extended range the i3 will also be available with a Range Extender. This 650 cc two-cylinder petrol engine with 34 hp, which is mounted on top of the electric motor increases the range to about 300 kilometers and is intended to recharge the batteries. While driving He does not drive the wheels so on! Moreover, the combustion engines not affect the boot and the 9 liter fuel tank it is the front of the i3.
Normally expires charging the batteries, which are warranted for 100,000 kilometers rest, via a conventional wall socket or from the BMW i Wallbox at home or at work can be installed. Using a quick charger takes 30 minutes to recharge the battery. 80 percent
