This is a BMW unlike any other we've driven before. It's all electric for a start and it's also got a body made from carbon fibre.
There's one thing that this BMW has that most of the other competitors lack . It has real desirability.
Pricing and specifications will be provided closer to the i3's launch next year but as a guide prices in the United States start at $US42,000 and in Britain at around 30,000 pounds. In both cases there is government assistance to encourage buyers towards environmentally friendly vehicles.
