Expected: August 2026
i3 → NA0 → Sedan
A plain-language guide without filling unknown specifications with guesses.
The NA0-coded i3 is the first all-electric 3 Series sedan and the second production Neue Klasse model. BMW has fully revealed the launch derivative and scheduled Munich production for August 2026, so this entry is future only until regular series production is confirmed.
What is already known. Launch model i3 50 xDrive uses one motor per axle with provisional 345 kW/469 hp and 645 Nm. BMW quotes up to 900 km WLTP, up to 400 kW DC charging and up to 400 km replenished in ten minutes; all figures remain provisional. Panoramic iDrive, Heart of Joy, Symbiotic Drive, bidirectional charging and Gen6 cylindrical cells are part of the announced technology package. Series production is scheduled to begin in Munich in August 2026, with first deliveries in autumn.
What specialist sources report. The NA0 internal code is reported by Bimmerpost and BMWBLOG; BMW's public launch release names the vehicle but does not rely on that code. What remains unknown. Final certified figures, the complete derivative range, prices outside announced markets and exact body dimensions remain pending.
If BMW has not published a dimension, it stays unknown; a prototype or related model cannot supply an exact answer.
