The BMW i3 has been recently subjected to an upgraded kit carried out by the Eve Ryn tuning company, with the electric model to receive some interesting features.

This would be the very first time when a BMW i3 electric would receive an aerodynamics kit, the model sporting a new front bumper with faux large air intakes or flared fenders.

More tweaks include a revised rear diffuser, carbon fiber components and a fresh new set of 20-inch alloy wheels, with a two-tone finish.

The Eve Ryn tuning company have not released any information of launching a customized BMW i3 worldwide and in a mass production.

In terms of performance, no news as well, but we might think that the BMW i3 electric will bear no modifications, still keeping the 170 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque, when running on electric motor.

The electric motor is backed by a 650cc two-cylinder petrol range extender, developing an additional 34 horsepower.

The BMW i3 electric comes with a single-speed transmission, which sends the power to the rear wheels.

The one man show, James May, the host of one of the most popular car show, has big plans concerning the purchase of a BMW i3 REx (Range Extender).

Even if James May is that critic that really pulls the heart of every car, when it comes to hybrids and electric vehicles, nobody can stand up to him.

The decision of buying his own BMW i3 REx came after May drove the i3 a some weeks ago, alongside Hammond and Clarkson. He also announced his intention during an interview with BBC Radio 4.

To be a reminder, the BMW i3 electric is coming in two versions, such as the full electric or the REx (Range Extender) version.

The BMW i3 REx is more expensive than the full electric, since it comes with a more significant power and drive range, that in comparison with the standard one.

We might be talking thus about an electric motor, developing 170 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque, with the unit being hooked to a single-speed transmission that sends the power to the rear wheels.

There is also a 650cc two-cylinder petrol burner added as a range extender and which develops an extra 34 horsepower.

In the US, the BMW i3 electric comes with a base price of $41,350 being already offered for pre-orders. In case you opt for the Range Extender (REX), you are going to pay around $45,200, and this without the $7,500 “federal incentive”.

The BMW i3 electric is powered by an electric motor, developing 170 horsepower (125 kW) and 250 Nm (184 lb-ft) of torque.

All the power is sent to the rear wheels with the help of a single-speed transmission. The car has a driving range extended with around 34 ponies 650 cc two-cylinder petrol engine.
