Merry Christmas powered by BMW i

The BMW i3 is silent and carries much electricity on board; often even more than what is needed for driving. This video shows what could be done with it. The BMW i engineers are working on it.. (BMW i3 as a electricity dispenser).

Very nice... lighting up the tree on the way home! Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

Very cool! Happy Holidays!

Well, not impressed BMW, allthough i love the i01!
Nissan are these Days coming up with more sophisticated stuff.
Like using the new Nissan leaf to power up a cabin which is Off the grid. And selling used and new battery package from Leaf as a stand alone package combined with sun panels with Enron. I expect BMW too come up with similar/better solutions!

Nice video montage, but BMW left out the part when the i3 runs out of electricity before the driver gets back to the city because the x-mas tree was lit the entire drive.

Why even waste another dime marketing this ugly flop?

BigT · 12-22-2018, 09:38 AM

After ten month of driving this unique vehicle, I'm still excited about it.
Happy to see our government finally released their EV-masterplan last week. Looks solid and thoughtful.

Fröhliche Weihnachten

Because sales numbers are still rising even after 5 years on the market.

Where did that roofrack come from? I like it but not so good for aerodynamics.

They give these away that probably has something to do with it.

That helps!

Could also be the Model 3 halo-effect. A lot more people are talking BEVs these days and the i3 is one of the only lease-able lux BEVs available at the moment.
