[1] This is a battery electric vehicle requiring mains electricity for charging. The electric range shown is for the vehicle when new, achieved according to the outgoing test (NEDC) or the new test (WLTP) procedure, depending on the date of first registration. This figure is provided for comparability purposes with other cars tested to the same technical procedures. Real-life driving results will be affected by battery age and condition, as well as other factors including the starting charge of the battery, accessories fitted (post registration), variations in weather, driving styles and vehicle load. Whilst we recommend the battery is normally charged to 80% to help optimise its health and life, the WLTP range figure was obtained after the battery had been charged to 100%.
[2] The charging performance depends on the state of charge, ambient temperature, individual driving profile and use of auxiliary consumers. The charging times apply to ambient temperatures of 23 degrees Celsius after a preceding drive and may differ depending on the usage behaviour.
[3] High speed public charging stations are currently available in limited numbers in the UK, most commonly found in high traffic areas such as motorway service stations. Availability continues to grow and more information of charger locations and type can be found at: https://bmw-public-charging.com/web/en/bmw-gb/map

BMW Approved Used electric car batteries.
The electric car battery is the most important component for the performance of an electric vehicle. BMW continually develops expertise in battery technology.
Batteries with an impressive service life.
The durability of BMW electric car batteries is demonstrated by our pioneering electric car, the BMW i3. We have been observing the ageing process of its electric car battery since 2013. Even when developing the BMW i3, we conducted elaborate tests to ensure its capabilities in terms of driving and charging. As a result of increasing battery sizes and technological advancements, our newer BMW electric car batteries offer improved conditions for a longer service life and higher performance.
The performance of of a BMW Approved Used electric car battery.
How can I tell how long-lasting a used electric car battery will be? What information do I receive from BMW about this before purchasing a used electric car? What can I do to conserve an electric car battery’s performance capabilities? Key information at a glance.
The Battery Health Quick Report determines the capacity.
The range and charging performance of an electric car battery decline over time in line with a normal ageing process. Prioritising slow charging conserves the electric car battery. The Battery Health Quick Report is a test procedure that is conducted on the battery of every electric Approved Used BMW.
Full transparency regarding the condition of the battery.
The Battery Health Quick Report serves to determine the current state of health (SoH) of a BMW Approved Used electric car. The SoH value defines the maximum energy capacity of a used electric car battery, compared to the original condition of a new battery. The rapid analysis process takes less than an hour. It can verify the performance and condition of an electric car battery. There are measures you can take yourself: a conservative driving style and careful handling will give your electric car battery the longest possible service life. If you have any questions regarding the residual capacity, please contact your BMW Centre.
BMW Approved Used electric car battery warranty.
You receive a BMW i Warranty for the high-voltage battery, valid for up to 8 years from the first registration of the car, or 10,000 miles - whichever comes first.
