For those of you who haven't heard, the BMW i3 all-electric model made its global debut on July 30, 2013. It earned quite a bit of time in the spotlight, and even attracted a crowd of celebrities to the premiere event. Everybody just can't seem to get enough of the first model within the new BMW i Series.
During a spectacular three-city unveiling, auto enthusiasts gathered in Beijing, London and New York for a simultaneous unveiling. Amongst a crowd of 600 spectators in London, were well known celebrities James Franco and Sienna Miller. Both were quite impressed with what the eco-friendly i3 model had to offer.
James Franco explained his favorite elements stating, "As a champion of art and design I love the way BMW has managed to combine style, functionality and technology. This car makes being green cool, which is really important."1
Sienna Miller made similar remarks explaining the appeal of sustainability and how she wants to emphasize the importance of green practices especially now that she's a mother. Overall she was impressed with the model's style and efficiency, making it a perfect candidate for a practical city car.
As the world's first premium electric-car, we are certainly excited for it to make its way to Hendrick BMW Northlake. Initially it will be available in Germany starting in November, so unfortunately here in the U.S. we will have to wait a bit longer for it to arrive. We have a feeling it will be well worth it though, to experience this unique combination of efficiency and performance!
