The high-level standard specification is bolstered with carefully curated pre-configured options and a choice of six exterior colours to underline its modern character. An illuminated BMW Iconic Glow kidney grille brings an immediately distinctive presence while the interior offers contemporary design with M-inspired sportiness.

Heated multifunctional seats and an optional Panoramic Glass Sunroof create an open sense of space, while technologies such as BMW Panoramic Vision, BMW 3D Head-Up Display, and the Harman Kardon sound system make every drive both intuitive and immersive.

UNMISTAKABLY SPORTY.

The BMW i3 50 xDrive First Edition’s front, rear and proportions reinforce its status as a true icon. Its athletic, modern exterior is defined by the kidney grille and headlights, which form one cohesive, expressive statement. With the M Sport Package included as standard, it adds an even more dynamic edge, enhancing the vehicle’s distinctive presence and sporty character.
