BMW PERFORMANCE 
Driving Mode Range
In the standard yet sporty COMFORT mode, the range of the BMW i3 is 70 to 110 electric miles on a single charge, depending on driving style, traffic conditions and the topographical features of your route. In ECO PRO mode, which operates with an adapted accelerator pedal that demands less power, the possible distance traveled increases by up to 12%. Additionally, the ECO PRO+ mode, which is specifically oriented for range, has a maximum speed that's reduced to the recommended 55 mph, while energy consumers—such as heating and air conditioning—are switched to their energy-saving mode. Thus, when compared to the COMFORT mode, the possible action radius is increased by up to 24%.
Brake Energy Recuperation
During the development of the BMW i3, particular emphasis was placed on brake energy recuperation to allow for optimum range in various driving situations. If the driver takes his foot off the accelerator pedal, the electric motor assumes the function of a generator and feeds the energy gained from the motion of the wheels back into the high-voltage battery. This system generates a braking torque, which leads to an effective deceleration of the vehicle and contributes to energy savings in preparation for multiple driving styles.
Lithium-Ion High-Voltage Battery
The energy supply for the electric drive, as well as all other vehicle functions, is provided by a specially developed lithium-ion high-voltage battery, which sets new standards in terms of energy efficiency. The intelligent heating and cooling system of the battery ensures that its energy—and thus, the vehicle’s range—is less affected by temperature fluctuations than it normally is with batteries of this type. As such, it makes a significant contribution to both the performance and service life of the cells. An 8-year limited warranty or 100,000 miles is given for the high-voltage battery.
eDrive Motor
The electric motor of the BMW i3 was designed for instant power, delivering 170 hp with a torque of 184 lb-ft. The full torque, which is typical for electric motors, is immediately available from a standstill and does not need to be built up first via the engine speed, as is the case with internal combustion engines. This gives the BMW i3 particularly high agility in various situations and impressive acceleration values: the BMW i3 accelerates from 0 to 35 mph in under 4 seconds and to 60 mph in approximately 7 seconds (7.8 seconds with Range Extender). But what's even more impressive is the nearly silent driving experience.

Driving Efficiency Information
The BMW i Remote App achieves the most efficient driving style possible, and as a result, the greatest range as well. The Last Trip Performance, for example, displays how the BMW i3 was driven, which applies to the driving style and the use of regenerative braking, where the energy from braking is converted into electricity. Comprehensive tutorials in the BMW i Remote App will even help you drive in the most efficient way possible, while additional statistics provide you with a summary of your overall efficiency. Your personal performance can then be compared with that of other BMW i3 drivers—whose data is anonymized—by evaluating and displaying their results for comparative purposes.
The iDrive system
The redesigned BMW iDrive with optional navigation is our most intuitive entertainment and navigation system yet. Full-screen maps display your destination directions and traffic information. And, if you are a safety plan subscriber with the optional BMW Assist™ + Bluetooth® System, it will even redirect you in the event of heavy congestion. Developed to operate by touch to keep your eyes on the road, the new system features a larger 8.8-inch display screen with high-resolution graphics, an extended range of functions, and an optimized menu structure with a more intuitive interface.
HD Radio™
Over 2,000 radio stations throughout the United States are currently broadcasting through advanced HD Radio™ technology. FM stations now have CD-quality sound, with many more casting up to three different formats over the same frequency.
Navigation Professional System
The professional Navigation System for the BMW i3, with its BMW i ConnectedDrive Services, was specifically developed for making driving as easy and convenient as possible. At the heart of BMW i is the range assistant with dynamic range map. This takes into account all relevant factors for routing: battery charge level, driving style, traffic situation and topographical condition of the route, and shows the most efficient road based on these factors. All this to ensure that you reach your planned destination as quickly as possible with the current battery charge.

Lithium-Ion High-Voltage Battery
The lithium-ion high-voltage battery is positioned in the center of the aluminum Drive Module of the BMW i3, and is optimally protected against outside influences. A specially developed heating and air conditioning system ensures as little temperature fluctuations as possible, which significantly increases its service life.
Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic
The passenger compartment of the BMW i3—the LifeDrive module—is completely made of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP), which is an especially light and high-strength material that provides outstanding protection to passengers in the event of an emergency. Until now, the manufacture and use of this material for large series production was too difficult, but after 10 years of intensive research and experience in the development of these parts, the BMW Group has found an innovative solution, which now produces carbon fiber and carbon fiber plates in a joint venture with the company SGL Automotive Carbon Fibers.
Parking Assistance Package
The Parking Assistance Package offers easy parking and worry-free aid with the use of Park Distance Control in the front, a camera in the rear, and a fully-automatic option, which allows the BMW i3 to accelerate, brake, and steer itself, for the ultimate added convenience.
