An 'M' Version Of The BMW i3 Will Never Happen, But Would Look Awesome

A few weeks ago, we let ourselves dream by imagining what the i8 would look like if BMW’s M Division bods got hold of it. Not satisfied by just that, we thought we’d envision what another unlikely BMW candidate would look like with a little M treatment: the i3.

Of course, as with the ‘Mi8,’ it’ll never happen, but there’s no denying the tall and thin i3 would look stunning with the various M gubbins attached. ‘Our’ car sits much lower on alloy wheels taken from the F30 M3/M4, while the front bumper sports some meaty intakes. The front wings have sprouted gills, and there’s a quad-exit exhaust at the back. As the i3 is an electric vehicle these are just dummies to make the car look prettier. Sorry.

Our imagined Mi3 would either have a more powerful electric motor (the standard car’s kicks out 167bhp), or perhaps an extra motor to power the front axle, making it four-wheel drive.

What do you think of our vision for an M Division i3?
