A few weeks ago BMW confirmed 5-series and 7-series to have all-electric versions in next generations. Now Motor Authority reports that 3-series will also have electric trim by the end of 2021 or beginning of 2022.
⠀
Technologically that vehicle is expected to be like BMW iX3 which is about to launch. This means electric 3-series to have approximately 74 kWh battery pack, 450 km (280 miles) range and 286 hp electric motor.

No the ‘most electric’ BMW 3-series one can order is a 330e trim. That’s a plug-in hybrid with a pair of 2.0-litre turbo gas motor and 113 hp electric motor with 12 kWh battery pack. Such BMW may drive about 60-70 km on electric power only.
