The BMW i3 has been officially discontinued after 9 years of production at the German plant in Leipzig and 250,000 units manufactured in this period.

The BMW i3 is already history of the German company. This compact electric car hit the market in 2013 and after a long commercial life the time has finally come to say goodbye. The BMW i3 has been officially discontinued after 9 years of production at the German plant in Leipzig and 250,000 units manufactured in this period.

The i3 had the honor of being one of the pioneers in the modern electric age when it hit the market almost a decade ago. Earlier this week, the milestone of manufacturing the 250,000th unit was achieved, a unit that has left the Leipzig plant just as its production has officially ceased.

BMW says having produced a quarter of a million units makes it the world’s most successful electric car in the premium compact segment. And it is that, for some years, it has been the only electric car available in the product portfolio of the Munich firm.

The 4-meter-long electric car featured an aluminum chassis and powertrain, and a carbon fiber passenger module, a feature normally only found on high-end supercars. It also featured an innovative interior with recycled materials, and there were pure electric or range extender powertrains.

To say goodbye to such a special model, BMW has launched a series of special editions called Home Run. There are only 10 units, each based on the i3S version with a Frozen Dark Gray or Frozen Red II exterior paint finish from the BMW Individual customization program.

Among its main features we find 20-inch wheels with double spokes, an electric panoramic roof and adaptive headlights. Inside there is Vernasca Dark Truffle upholstery, a leather dashboard, ambient lighting, heated seats, parking sensors, BMW Professional navigation and a Harman Kardon sound system.

But, if you want one of the latest limited edition i3s, know that BMW has already announced that all of them have been sold and produced. In fact, its buyers were able to see how their cars were assembled at the BMW plant in Leipzig.
