Built for efficiency

Each BMW i3 is created in a specially-built plant in Leipzig, where, as well as using 70% less water and 50% less energy, wind turbines supply the plant’s own green energy. 

From the earliest stages of the development process, we geared the entire vehicle concept to efficient and sustainable electric mobility. Wherever possible renewable and recycled materials help protect the environment and replace conventional materials such as plastic. The carbon fibres from which the BMW i3’s ultralight passenger cell is made are produced with energy generated entirely from renewables.
