BMW i3 & i8 EV range won’t be extended any time soon

The BMW i3 and i8 EVs won’t get a sibling any time soon BMW have ploughed a chunk of money in to the development of the BMW i3 electric city car and the BMW i8 supercar, but it seems that is going to be the extent of the BMW i range, for now at least. BMW’s head of production, Harald Krueger, has told Automotive News that there will be no further i models until BMW has a better idea of demand for their i cars.

Of course, even BMW aren’t bold enough to make a production MINI – even one with Rolls Royce fairy dust sprinkled on at Goodwood – cost so much. But they’ve come damn close.
