The BMW i3 has been sighted again by our spy photographers SB-Medien. The grey one we’ve seen before, but there’s also a silver one this time, and if you look closely you can spot some differences between the two cars, other than the most obvious which is the exterior colour and the alloy wheel design.
Although the headlamps are half covered by blue camo tape, it’s obvious these two cars have two different headlamp designs. The silver car has what appears to be lower spec headlamps – they look like regular halogen reflector ones. The grey car had LED headlamps, with the glow of the daytime running lights at the bottom of the headlamp peeking through the camo.
Another difference we spotted is an additional lid below the A-pillar on the grey car that can’t be found on the silver car. We’re guessing the grey car is an i3 with a range extender engine, which means the extra filler cap is probably for petrol or diesel, depending on what the production car’s range extender engine is fuelled by, while the filler on the rear that both cars share in common is for the charger port to plug into.
Another thing that really stood out to us was despite the huge wheel circumference and the low profile of the tyres on the i3, it seemed to have tyres that were 30% narrower than usual. Designed in the spirit of better fuel efficiency, perhaps?

The tyres. Look like motorcycle tyres. SO THIN.
purposely fitted to reduces the drag and decrease the FC..
Even then…. traction… Hmm
I love BMw’s but why is the pariah BMW Malaysia ONLY giving 2 years warranty when most car manufaturers have upped it to 5 years. Even Mercedes give 4 years now.
You know why they give ONLY 2 years? Because they know, just right after the 730 days are up, your gearbox is high likely to kaput and it will cost you RM80,000 to replace. Be warned!
Owh no where is EMAS?
Emas was far ahead of this but like many projects it was killed by proton management god knows why????
I heard that the 2014 Proton GSC will using EMAS design.. just wait and see..

i think exora better
Whoaaa… If tayar kaput where can buy new 1???
Kinda weird seeing a BMW with such thin tyres. Are they run flats, one wonders?
For me personally, there’s something very substantial and solid about the looks of this BMW. Despite being a little far off from the usual BMW design language, I appreciate the rather daring appearance. Not so long ago one can only expect to see such designs only in movies or in games. But now, not anymore.
The more I look at it, the more I find myself coveting this vehicle. Looking forward to such futuristic-looking cars on our road!
Lotus Emas is more beautiful
Ugly!!!
