Predictions

Background

Today at simultaneous events in Manhattan, London and Beijing BMW unveiled the production version of its hybrid electric car, the 2014 BMW i3.

BMW has not released the car for test drives yet, but on paper it looks like it will be more agile than competitors like the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt. Its 2,700 pounds are feather-light compared to the others, and its flat lithium-ion battery packaged along the floor of the vehicle is balanced–like the rest of the BMW fleet–with a perfect 50/50 weight distribution front to back.

See the i3 live and you’ll think that it’s not exactly ugly but it doesn’t exactly offer the taunt, sporty appeal of a M3 or a Z4, either.

Which won’t matter a whit when it comes to sales. This $41,350 car (due out this fall) will sell handily to urbanites on either coast largely because it’s the first of its kind of plug-in hybrid to be made by one of the big three mass luxury brands (Audi, BMW and Mercedes).
