It gives a clear sneak peek at an electric automobile that would be the 3-Series made entirely of electricity.
BMW is leading the way in the transition to electric vehicles with the Neue Klasse platform. The brand has changed its strategy with this specialized electric architecture, with India playing a major role in its future plans. The i3 electric sedan, which is positioned as the electric equivalent of the well-liked 3 Series, is one of the important products to come from the new platform.
