<p>
  <strong>Woodcliff Lake – Sept 28, 2018…</strong>Today, BMW announces
  the next chapter in the i3 story of electromobility; the new 2019 i3
  and i3s with 120 Ah batteries. Since its launch in 2014, the battery
  capacity and range of the i3 has grown from the original 60Ah / 81
  miles to 94Ah / 115 miles in 2017 and now 120Ah for 2019. With the
  high voltage battery cell capacity increased to 120 ampere hours (Ah)
  and a gross energy content of 42.2 kilowatt hours (kWh), the new
  generation of high-voltage batteries enables the BMW i3 120 Ah and the
  BMW i3s 120Ah to achieve a range of up to 153 miles, nearly a 30%
  improvement from the 94 Ah model and almost double its original range.
  The 2019 i3 REX model range is expected to be similarly improved,
  pending EPA certification.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The BMW i3 is a visionary electric vehicle and an inspirational
  design that has helped to make BMW i so popular through its innovative
  mobility solutions with sustainability as a key defining element. The
  BMW i brand has established itself as a pioneer for forward-thinking
  mobility by offering such products while also adopting an
  all-embracing approach that takes into account the complete lifecycle,
  from raw material production, through the manufacture and operation of
  the vehicles to their later recycling.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Complementing the introduction of the new battery, a new exterior
  color, a new color for the optional Mega World upholstery and full LED
  headlights with cornering lights and automatic high beams, are also
  available for the BMW i3 and BMW i3s. iDrive 6.0, previously available
  only with the optional Navigation Professional, is now featured on the
  standard navigation system. Additionally, a Wi-Fi hotspot and wireless
  charging tray for your personal mobile devices is available for the
  first time. The WiFi hotspot accommodates up to 10 devices and comes
  free with a 3 month or 3 GB trial offer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>New generation battery development: increased energy</strong></p>
<p>
  <strong> </strong></p>
<p>The BMW eDrive technology enables drivers to enjoy emission-free
  mobility with instantaneous power delivery, efficient use of energy
  and an optimized range for everyday practicality that even extends
  beyond the demands of purely urban travel.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Like the electric motors, the high-voltage batteries are an integral
  part of the BMW eDrive technology used in BMW i automobiles and
  developed in-house the BMW Group. Based on research and development
  work conducted in close cooperation with the manufacturer of the
  individual battery cells, constant improvements to the battery packs’
  power output, vehicle range, safety and durability have been achieved.
  Installed low in the floor of the vehicle, the new high-voltage
  battery is produced at the BMW plant in Dingolfing and consists of
  eight modules, each with twelve storage cells: the latest cell
  capacity of 120Ah along with a gross energy content of 42.2kWh. The
  exterior dimensions of the battery pack remain unchanged. When
  launched in 2014, the i3’s battery pack provided 60 Ah and 22.6kWh,
  while the second-generation battery introduced for 2017 offered a
  capacity of 94Ah and 33kWh.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The BMW i3, powered by a 170 hp electric motor, accelerates from 0 to
  60 mph in 7.2 seconds, while the BMW i3s with 181 hp completes the
  standard sprint in 6.8 seconds. The two models set the benchmark for
  sporty performance within their vehicle segment.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>With its battery capacity increased to 42.2kWh, the latest version of
  the BMW i3 follows the brand's holistic concept; a responsible use of
  resources including not only locally emissions-free power but also
  material selection, production techniques and available mobility
  services. The BMW i3 120Ah and the BMW i3s 120Ah have a much more
  favorable CO2 footprint across the entire vehicle lifecycle – from raw
  material extraction and manufacture through to use and recycling – and
  this makes for significantly lower global warming potential than is
  the case with comparable, conventionally powered automobiles.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Design and Interior: great sense of roominess, sustainable materials.</strong></p>
<p>
  <br />The interior styling of the new BMW i3 and BMW i3s is rooted in
  the LifeDrive vehicle architecture. The carbon fiber-reinforced
  plastic (CFRP) passenger cell has a wonderfully spacious feel about it
  and is dominated by a sense of lightness. The design principle of the
  two four-seater models means there is no need for either fixed
  B-pillars or a transmission tunnel. Doors that open in opposite
  directions allow the occupants to get in and out with the greatest of ease.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>New for 2019 exterior color choices is Jucaro Beige Metallic w/
  Frozen Grey accents which replaces the outgoing Protonic Blue Metallic
  w/Frozen Grey accent.</p>
<p>
  <br />Interior trim changes include Mega World now offering Electronic
  Brown Trim and Mega Carum Spice Grey SensaTec with Brown Cloth
  highlights. Tera World now includes higher quality Tera Dark Truffle
  Vernasca Leather. The BMW i3 and BMW i3s apply the concept of
  sustainability throughout, as other materials used are recycled
  plastics, renewable raw materials, natural fibers and open-pored,
  unbleached eucalyptus wood. Over 80 percent of the surfaces visible to
  the passengers are made from recycled materials or renewable
  resources. The available seat belts in BMW i Blue for the BMW i3s
  provide a splash of color in the interior.</p>
<p>
  <strong> </strong></p>
<p>
  <strong>Connectivity and Driver Assistance Systems.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>BMW Connected bolsters the link between the i3 and the digital
  experience. Remote Services allow you to check if your windows are
  closed and doors are locked. You can also precondition the climate of
  the i3 for a comfortable temperature before your departure as well as
  warming the battery under certain conditions. On the eDrive tab, one
  can browse through various efficiency statistics, monitor your
  electrical consumption, energy recuperation statistics and observe
  your efficiency.</p>
<p>
  <br />The driver assistance systems available for the 2019 BMW i3 and
  BMW i3s ease the driver’s workload and provide support in various
  traffic situations, as well as helping with longitudinal and lateral
  vehicle control. The optional Technology and Driving Assistance
  Package includes LED headlights with cornering lights, Active Driving
  Assistant, Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Daytime
  Pedestrian Protection, Frontal Collision Warning with City Collision
  Mitigation, and Advanced Real-Time Traffic Information. ConnectedDrive
  Services and front/rear Park Distance Control are now standard
  equipment. Parking Assistance is a standalone options for the i3 (not
  available on the i3s). Once activated, Parking Assistance scans for
  suitable parking spaces and at the press of a button takes control of
  acceleration, braking, gear selection and steering to perfectly park
  your i3.</p>

  Los Angeles Auto Show in November 2017. It is a special-edition model
  and delivers a blend of high performance and complete everyday
  practicality. The extensive use of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic has
  kept the BMW M3 CS extremely light and lowered the overall weight by
  approximately 110 pounds less than a standard BMW M3. The M TwinPower
  Turbo technology 6-cylinder inline engine produces 453 hp generating a
  peak torque of 443 lb-ft and accelerates from 0-60 mph in just 3.7
  seconds, making it the quickest BMW M3 to date. The BMW M3 CS will be
  available to order in the U.S. starting in May 2018. Pricing will be
  announced closer to market launch. <a href="http://www.bmwusanews.com/newsrelease.do?id=3108&mid="><strong>BMW

<p>The <strong>BMW M5</strong> has been regarded as the quintessential
  high performance sports sedan since its initial iteration launched in
  1984. The 2018 BMW M5 marks the debut of the first ever M-specific
  all-wheel drive system, M xDrive, which allows the BMW M5 to reach new
  heights of dynamic performance and delivers poise in all driving
  situations. Thanks to a 4.4-liter V8 engine featuring M TwinPower
  Turbo technology, the BMW M5 produces 600 hp and 553 lb-ft of peak
  torque, skyrocketing from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds, making it
  the quickest and most agile to date. The 2018 BMW M5 will be available
  with a MSRP of $102,600 plus $995 Destination and Handling, appearing
  in U.S. showrooms in spring 2018. <a href="http://www.bmwusanews.com/newsrelease.do?id=3065&mid=&searchresult"><strong>BMW

<p>The 2018 <strong>BMW X3 </strong>is the third generation of the
  pioneering premium compact Sports Activity Vehicle. The dynamic
  handling qualities of the BMW X3 are linked to its ideal 50:50 weight
  distribution between the front and rear axles, its meticulously honed
  chassis, and xDrive, BMW’s intelligent all-wheel-drive system which
  debuted in 2003 in the first generation of the BMW X3. The BMW X3 uses
  a 2.0 liter TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder inline gasoline engine and an
  8-speed Steptronic Sport automatic transmission yielding 248 hp and a
  maximum torque of 258 lb-ft, accelerating from 0-60 in 6.0 seconds
  with a top speed of 130 mph. The BMW X3 is available in U.S. showrooms
  with a MSRP of $42,450 plus $995 Destination and Handling. <a href="http://www.bmwusanews.com/newsrelease.do?id=3001&mid=115"><strong>BMW
