| Home / BMW / List of BMW i3 Models without Timing Belt
The BMW i3 is a subcompact utility car (B-segment in Europe) manufactured by the German marque BMW. It was unveiled at the 2011 International Motor Show in Germany, and was launched in late 2013 as the first mass-produced zero-emission vehicle of the BMW i sub-brand.
The BMW i3 has only one generation to date, although it has undergone a re-styling. It has a single five-door configuration. It has all-electric variants (which have no distribution), while it is also sold in a version with a gasoline hybrid engine with extended range.
Since its launch, the i3 has sold more than 220,000 units worldwide, with Germany being the best-selling market, followed by the United States. Among the alternatives to this vehicle we can highlight the Chevrolet Bolt EV or the Nissan Leaf. As a general rule, other high-end car manufacturers have not entered this segment with vehicles of this type.
