The BMW i3 was produced at the BMW Group plant in Leipzig, Germany. For eight and a half years since the start of production, the total circulation of the model amounted to 250,000 copies. BMW claims this makes the i3 the most successful electric vehicle in the world of premium compact cars.
Ten BMW i3 i3S finished in Frozen Dark Gray or Frozen Red II from BMW's bespoke personalization program were the last to roll off the assembly line. These cars were called Home Run. They have 20-inch twin-spoke wheels, a power glass sunroof and adaptive headlights.
Interior details on the farewell cars include Vernasca Dark Truffle upholstery, a leather instrument panel, a Carum Gray ceiling, as well as heated seats, parking assistance, BMW Professional navigation and a Harmon Kardon Hi-Fi audio system.
BMW i3 Home Run Edition
The BMW i3 Home Run series of 10 units has already been produced and sold. Buyers of these collectible cars could watch the assembly in the assembly shop of the factory.
The end of production of the BMW i3 does not mean the end of the Leipzig plant. On the contrary, the company is gearing up for rapid growth with the expansion of the BMW electric vehicle range.
Since May 2021, the plant has been producing battery modules for other BMW models. And from 2023, after modernization, the Leipzig plant will become the production base for the next generation MINI Countryman.
