The BMW i3 shall now include an electrically functioned sunroof.
As of now, U.S.-market i3s were not present with glass in their roofs, even as overseas variants had offered one since the car’s 2013 launch. The 2016 i3 Shadow Sport Edition brought with a standard power-tilting sunroof; inside, owners see two individual panels with separate shades. As of now, this is the only considerable i3 with a sunroof.
An estimated of only 50 fully electric examples are going to be sold.
The $48,395 sticker brings a unique Fluid Black paint with light blue highlights with regards the dark grey cloth seats. Now connected with a new top-level trim line called Deka World (over the base Mega, mid-level Giga, and Tera). A brand new sport-tuned suspension is one more Shadow Sport goodie, however, BMW didn’t described the changes, or if the Deka World trim would be brought in non-special-edition i3s. The 19-inch 10-spoke wheels are similar to fitted to Tera examples, noting that there is a plaque inside to present the car’s short run.
The other, non-sunroofed i3 models remains same in terms of cost and model for 2016. It’s base prices begins from $43,395 for the battery version including an EPA-estimated 81-mile range, or beginning from $47,245 for the gas-functioned Range Extender having 150 miles of range.
