Combined power consumption: < 21 kWh/100km in the WLTP test cycle*; CO2 emissions combined: 0 g/km.
*Data on driving performance, energy consumption and range are preliminary and based on forecasts.
+++ High level of supply chain flexibility speeds up transformation towards e-mobility +++ Extensive measures to ensure compliance with environmental and social standards and secure access to many critical raw materials +++ Sustainability measures in supply chain delivering results: CO2 emissions reduced by 17% in BMW iX +++ Wendt: “Sustainability is an integral part of all purchasing activities” +++
+++ BMW Group to produce high-voltage batteries and battery components at three of its German sites in future: Dingolfing, Leipzig and Regensburg +++ Regensburg to see investment of more than 150 million euros by 2022 +++
+++ BMW Group to produce high-voltage batteries and battery components at two German plants, Dingolfing and Leipzig +++ Investment of more than 100 million euros by 2022 in e-drive production at Leipzig +++
Plant Munich heralds the age of fully electric mobility Conversion of plant successfully completed for BMW i4 production Plant Director Robert Engelhorn: “Most comprehensive overhaul of assembly in the history of the plant.”
+++ Development of innovative and recyclable battery cells +++ Near-standard production of battery cell prototypes at new pilot plant +++ Commissioning planned for late 2022 +++
The concept: The first BMW Sports Activity Vehicle with an all-electric drive system. The drive system: Supreme efficiency leads to top-end range. The design: Proportions of a BMW X model and familiar BMW i accents. Equipment: Comfort, premium ambience and bespoke functionality. BMW Charging: Innovative products and digital services for simple and user-friendly charging.
+++ BMW Group opens Competence Centre for E-Drive Production in Dingolfing and expands manufacturing capacity: E-drives for 500,000 electrified vehicles, start of production for fifth-generation BMW e-drive, Competence Centre will employ up to 2,000 staff in medium term, investment of more than 500 million euros by 2022 +++ Successful transformation of BMW Group’s biggest European production site +++
+++ Typical BMW dynamics assured: First technical details on the powertrain system for the BMW i Hydrogen NEXT +++ Development collaboration with Toyota Motor Corporation to continue +++
Independent switchover to purely electric operating mode when entering designated city areas, e.g. low emission zones - Technology innovation as a contribution to improving life quality in almost 80 European cities - Digital service now available in various BMW plug-in hybrid models.
+++ BMW IconicSounds Electric expands with sound of the BMW Concept i4 co-created with Hans Zimmer +++ Jointly developed start/stop sound in all electrified BMW models from July 2020 +++
The BMW Group is expanding production capacity and increasing its staff at the Competence Centre for E-Drive Production in Dingolfing faster than originally planned. Due to growing demand for electrified vehicles, the plant expects the number of modules needed for production of high-voltage batteries to double from the previous year. The number of electric motors required will also increase significantly.
Entering a new era of electric mobility: The efficient drivetrain for the purely electric BMW iX3. Trailblazer for fifth generation of BMW eDrive technology – Innovations for electric motor and high-voltage battery - Additional range thanks to higher efficiency instead of larger battery.
Dynamic growth in joint ventures’ mobility services: nearly 90 million customers – up 44 percent since start of 2019 +++ New umbrella organisation supports efficient steering and focusing of activities +++ FREE NOW increases gross merchandise value (run rate) / platform revenues significantly to reach new record of more than two billion euros +++
With the first purely electrically powered model for the premium mid-range, BMW is transferring the brand's characteristic core features to the age of locally emissions-free mobility – Fifth-generation BMW eDrive to be introduced for the first time in the BMW iX3 in 2020 and will also be used in the BMW iNEXT and the BMW i4 in 2021 – Advanced battery cell technology enables sporty performance and a range of around 600 kilometres in the BMW i4.
• Zipse: “energy density to double by 2030” • Development of next-generation battery cells • Cutting-edge laboratory and analytical equipment • Production of prototype cells to industry standards • Sustainable, long-term material procurement

CO2 emission information.
The following applies to consumption figures for vehicles with new type approval, September 2017 onward: The figures for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and energy consumption are obtained in accordance with the specified measuring procedure (EC Regulation No. 715/2007), as issued and amended. The figures are for a basic-version vehicle in Germany. The bandwidths allow for differences in the choice of wheel and tire sizes and items of optional equipment and can be changed by the configuration.
Obtained on the basis of the new "Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedure" (WLTP), the figures are converted back to the "New European Driving Cycle" (NEDC) for the sake of comparability. Values other than those stated here may be used for the purposes of taxation and for other vehicle-related duties relating to CO2 emissions.
More information about official fuel consumption figures and the official specific CO2 emissions of new passenger cars can be obtained from the "guideline on fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and current consumption of new passenger cars", available here: https://www.dat.de/co2/.
