The BMW i3 Will Die a Slow Painful Death Because Its The Black Sheep of the Family

By info@topspeed.com (Kirby Garlitos)
The BMW i3 always stood out from the rest of BMWs premium lineup. Its Bimmers first-ever fully electric vehicle and six years after it was introduced, the i3 still draws a lot of attention, thanks in large part to its quirky styling, electric powertrain, and a surprisingly spacious interior. The i3 served a purpose when it was launched in 2013. It was BMWs first foray into battery electric vehicles and it was intended to gauge customer interest in electric cars without compromising BMWs mainstream lineup of models. Well, the i3 served its purpose. Like most automakers, BMW is in the midst of a full-on assault on electric vehicles with plans to release 13 EVs by 2023. Unfortunately, the i3 wont be part of that future anymore now that BMW announced that it wouldnt renew the i3 past this current generation. It will still build models for the next few years, but as far as a next-generation model is concerned, thats no longer happening. So pour a 40 for Bimmers quirky little electric ride. Its had a good run, but like all things in this world, that run will have a finish line.
