Together with the new BMW Vision ConnectedDrive concept and the new Design Pure Balance package designed for the current generation Z4, BMW also unveiled the well-known ActiveE, an electric model based on the current 1 Series Coupe.

BMW is planning to start the orders for ActiveE EV in the coming months but unfortunately they will build around 1,000 vehicles following to be available on few big markets.

However, under the hood of the upcoming ActiveE we’ll find an electric engine that develops 170 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque, enough resources to provide a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in around 9 seconds and a top speed of 145 km/h.

The 32 kWh lithium-ion battery pack which fits the new electric model will offer a driving range of 160 kilometers, just five hours being necessary to completely charge the battery. The aesthetics couldn’t be ignored by the Bavarians, thus, the model gets inside some nice features such as Alpine White trim, the new eDrive system and Dakota leather upholstery.

Outside, a special design with few graphics tell you that you are in front of an electric model, a set of 16-inch alloy wheels completing the exterior appearance.
