We\u2019ve already seen the new BMW i3 in official images<\/a> and a video, but a tech blogger from the People\u2019s Republic spent more quality time with the EV.\u00a0Finished in Ore White, the i3 Sedan has the optional 19-inch wheels replacing the standard 18-inch set. It keeps the regular-sized grille of the non-M3 models, but with a closed-off configuration since there\u2019s no combustion engine in need of cooling. The grille has a blue contour and is adorned by an \u201ci\u201d on the driver\u2019s side kidney. \u00a0In addition, the six BMW roundels have blue accents, and so does the rear skirt.<\/p>\n

Although not necessarily noticeable, the eDrive35L sits 44 mm (1.73 inches) lower than a gasoline- or diesel-fueled 3 Series. The i3 Sedan is the first 3er ever with air suspension, albeit it\u2019s only at the rear axle.\u00a0Another change we\u2019ll see on the global 3 Series is the switch to the iDrive 8 shared with the i4<\/a>. The latter\u2019s bulky gear lever has made way for a simplified switch in the same vein as the iX\u2019s. It sits next to the familiar blue start\/stop button and the dial to control the latest-gen infotainment.<\/p>\n

As a refresher, the BMW i3 is based on the locally produced long-wheelbase configuration, hence the letter \u201cL\u201d at the end of the car\u2019s name. The i3 Sedan is not the only China-built electric BMW as the iX3<\/a> is also produced there. However, the difference between the two is that the RWD-only crossover is available in export markets.<\/p>\n
