2023 BMW i3

BMW's development boss claims its i3 successor won't "repeat" its "outsider" design language when it relaunches on the Neue Klasse platform.

BMW has held a ceremony at its museum to hand over 18 gold-painted i3 hatchbacks to a car rental company to use in Munich.

BMW's smallest, quirkiest car, the carbon-tubbed i3 city hatchback, has officially reached the end of the road globally.

The BMW i3 badge is back for 2023, but it's on a very different kind of electric car.

In 2021, we lost two brands and 18 nameplates in the Australian market, and there were a handful of other discontinuations worth noting.

The most interesting car BMW makes, the i3, is on its last legs in Australia. That's a shame, because it's a flawed but fabulous city car.

BMW Australia has removed the all-electric i3 hatchback from its website ahead of an expected local discontinuation of the model.

The i3 is a prime example of the possibilities when engineers are let off the leash with a singular objective in mind: to make the ultimate city car.
