Great overview of BMW’s reinvention of the i3 in The Verge.
Meet the new i3, which takes the same basic motor, battery, and electronics package that powers the iX3, plus the Neue Klasse's controversial styling cues, and applies it to a more familiar sedan shape, the sort of silhouette that BMW's reputation was largely built upon.
The former design of the i3 was always divisive. I hated the way it looked, but was impressed with how innovative it was, especially from a materials perspective.
I want my cars to look like cars, and it feels like auto manufacturers are starting to realize that EVs don’t have to try and look like space ships. My i4 M50 is my favorite car I’ve ever owned, and the new i3 looks like a nice complement to the rest of BMW’s lineup.
