Info is that it will be a low slung 2+2 seater with gullwing doors and powered by a 3 cylinder turbo diesel with full hybrid engine at rear axle and 328hp. 4.8 0-100km/h and consumption of 75.1mpg and brake regenerative technology. Full charge on 2.5 hours.

Pretty impressive stats.

Cool car, but what is the point of saving on gas if the car already costs 6 figures? :dunno:

Eco-Douchebag market is expanding.

End of the day, BMW need to have a supercar. This can be it.

Rear looks kinda bizarre to me but the rest is amazing.

I really hate the way that car looks.

[Commanderwiggin]

Looks like a Prius was gangbanged at a drunken party by a Camaro, Murcielago and some kind of alien BMW...and this is the result... :barf:

would look better if they did something different with the doors

[shakalaka]

I like it. I would deff rock one and help the environment.:D

[natster31]

the only thing i dont really like are the rims.

might have something to do with the brake regenerative technology though :dunno:

Go BMW. No bias.

I never seen lights that reflect off of the body panels. Pretty neat idea. Though I'm not a huge fan of the taillights, the idea is pretty cool, especially at night.

[FraserB]

Only like the front end to be honest. And who does wing doors still? Someone needs to let them know its played out.

~1 year bump.

Anyone see the commercial for this? I just saw it tonight.

BMW i-Series, due for 2013 release it said (maybe at a car show or something).

Looks pretty cool. Could we be seeing lots of sporty performance hybrids in the future? It definitely looks like it.

[Xtrema]

I'm sure it's will be the i3 that will be released to compete against Leaf and Volt.

i8 will remain in concept form.

I thought i3/5/7 are already trademarked by Intel?
