BMW is moving slow with its big offerings set for 3 1/2 years from now and 12 bevs and 13 phevs (some will be the same model with bev and phev options) due by end of 2015.

The ix3 is the next one up, which is a pure bev small SUV. Next up is the i4, which are detailed bellow.

BMW's Master Plan Includes Replacing Performance Cars With EVs

The iNext will be the first vehicle to arrive from one of the above architectures, with a goal for 2021. This car will likely be the first iVision Dynamics offering (which we now know as the i4).

The architecture will accept an ICE powertrain, plug-in hybrid setup, and battery-electric configuration. Though the ICE and PHEV vehicles will be primarily the same in structure, the BEVs will have to be able to accommodate a “skateboard” battery pack beneath the floor. BMW assures that their concept models have used 3D printing to assess the best way to make this happen.

The automaker plans to offer three different battery choices; 120 kWh, 90 kWh, and 60 kWh. Range goals are set at 450 to 700 km (280 to 435 miles) per charge. In terms of motors, BMW’s in-house offerings will be 100 kW, 190 kW, 250 kW, and 300 kW or more.
