2019 BMW i3 - all the numbers in one tidy post.

Since the new 2019 BMW i3 was officially announced and it will be available in four versions - i3, i3 REx, i3s and i3s REx - here we gathered technical spec numbers for comparison. The main change is new battery cells (120 Ah versus previous 94 Ah), which in total stores 42.2 kWh (compared 33.2 kWh) within the same footprint.

The question is whether there still will be customers willing to buy the range-extender option as the new i3 will be able to go some 246 km (153 miles) in real-world driving.

Sales in Europe should begin in November/December.
