The BMW i3 ends production, after 10 years and 250,000 units sold. The final 10 examples will be HomeRun Editions with unique paint and interiors.
pack and motor. Partly recycled materials were used in its thermoplastic skin, and BMW says that 25% of the interior was recycled material. Door panels were made from fibers of the kenaf plant, and parts of the dashboard were made from eucalyptus wood.
According to BMW, just a few days ago i3 production surpassed the quarter-million threshold. A black i3 made its way down the assembly line with a"250,000 Danke [Thanks]" sign on its roof. It was a significant milestone reached before the i3 ended its run altogether. Speaking of final runs, the last 10 units of BMW i3 will be so-called HomeRun Editions. Based on the i3s trim level, they will be finished in one of twofrom the BMW Individual program. Both are matte paints, either Frozen Dark Grey or Frozen Red II. Cabin-wise, they will come with the Suite interior option, which nets leather upholstery in Vernasca Dark Truffle, leather dash pad, leather steering wheel with galvanized trim, Carum Grey roof lining, as well as ambient and welcome lighting.
Post-i3, the Leipzig plant will continue to produce electric drivetrains and battery packs for other BMW Group products. Next year, the factory will start churning out the third-generation Mini, which will come with a full-EV drivetrain. As such, it will become the first facility where BMW and Mini models are manufactured side by side.
Having been sold in more than 74 countries, the BMW i3 has been a noteworthy step in the transition to EVs. The i3 will continue to leave its mark at the site, though. An energy storage farm uses 700 i3 batteries to store energy produced by four wind turbines, which BMW says, helps make its manufacturing carbon-neutral.
