BMW 3 Series testers' notes
We drove the BMW i3 50 xDrive today - all 469hp and 912km range of it...
Day two of the new BMW 3 Series launch and Matt is now sampling the headline act - the new i3 EV. This one is a 50 xDrive, with a near-109kWh battery and 912km of range. Also has 469hp and a 4.7-second 0-100km/h time. Driving impressions lift towards the end of next week, so keep your eyes peeled for reviews of both this and the BMW M350 xDrive on the site then.
We're driving the all-new BMW 3 Series this week, including electric i3 and 443hp M350

Matt's the lucky so-and-so out in Provence today and tomorrow, driving both the 'G50' petrol-powered car and the all-new, all-important BMW i3 EV for the eighth generation of this sector-defining compact executive. There's a shortish embargo in place on driving impressions for now, but here he is with a luscious M350 xDrive in ‘Fire Red’. Which has a 443hp straight-six turbo, you know...
