BMW i3 and i8 Price in South Africa

It’s said that BMW will sell both the full electric i3 for R525000 together with the i3 range extender at R595000, while the i8 will be priced from R1755000.

Please note that you will have to install the BMW i WallBox home charging station at an additional cost of R25 000.

Both the BMW i3 and i8 first made their South African debut at the 2013 Johannesburg International Motor Show, where they showed up with fresh and modern looks that reinterpret the meaning of modern luxury.

The passenger cell of the i3 is made of carbon fibre while sustainable yet high quality materials are used throughout making it a serious green runner for urban environments. The i8 stands low and wide and has the undeniable look of a sports car, while its proportions serve to deliver optimal performance.Out of the two cars, we’re most excited by the i3 which will be a direct rival to the Nissan Leaf.

Look out for more details and driving impressions once the vehicles officially launch at the end of February 2015. Ashley Oldfield will be there representing Cars.co.za.
