New BMW i3 Coming Soon to Sherman Oaks, CA
The new BMW i3 brings fully electric performance to the sport-sedan class. Unlike the earlier i3 hatchback, this upcoming model represents the first battery-electric BMW 3 Series and the second vehicle developed on the Neue Klasse platform. BMW of Sherman Oaks will help Los Angeles drivers learn more as official U.S. ordering and arrival details become available.
BMW i3 Performance
The BMW i3 applies familiar 3 Series driving characteristics to a dedicated electric platform. Its sixth-generation BMW eDrive technology combines strong acceleration, long-distance capability, and rapid charging for travel around Van Nuys and beyond.
- The announced BMW i3 50 xDrive uses electric motors at both axles, creating an all-wheel-drive system.

- An 800-volt electrical architecture supports DC fast-charging rates of up to 400 kW under suitable conditions.
- BMW estimates a range of up to approximately 435 miles using EPA testing procedure standards, although final EPA certification remains pending.
- The Heart of Joy computer coordinates acceleration, braking, energy regeneration, steering, and vehicle dynamics with faster responses than previous BMW systems.
BMW i3 Interior and Comfort

Expected BMW i3 Trims
BMW has announced the i3 50 xDrive as the launch configuration. This dual-motor model pairs all-wheel drive with the Neue Klasse platform's latest battery, charging, and digital technology. Granada Hills shoppers should note that performance data, equipment, range, and market availability remain preliminary until BMW USA releases final specifications.
Additional powertrain and trim configurations may join the lineup later, but BMW has not confirmed the complete U.S. range. Mission Hills drivers can contact BMW of Sherman Oaks for updates instead of relying on European trim names, specifications, or pricing that may not apply to California models.
