UPCOMING CARS (BMW i3)

BMW i3: Bayerische Motoren Werke (BMW) has been among the foremost choice of enthusiasts who desire luxury cars.  The design of the BMW i3 concept exhibits streamlined car characteristics that will appeal to the urban commuter. Window graphics, flowing silhouette and door sills combine to render an appealing shape to the dynamic vehicle. The compact car has a generous amount of space within the cabin, featuring short front and rear overhangs. It is made from light metal alloys, high-grade glass material, black elements and carbon structures, thus making the vehicle considerably light in weight.  BMW i3 concept offers an optional range extender, known as REx, to counter this limitation. REx is a compact petrol kit that runs the generator of the car and helps in maintaining battery charge level for continued operation on electric power.
