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.

We also get a peek at the new GLA45 AMG sport compact crossover and the S600 giant killer, all in motion.
