La famiglia delle i di BMW è pronta ad allargarsi con l'ingresso a listino di due inedite serie limitate dedicate alla i3 e alla i8. La prima si chiama RoadStyle ed è realizzata sulla base della i3s, mentre la seconda prende il nome di Ultimate Sophisto e rappresenta il canto del cigno della i8, che dopo questa nuova edizione limitata uscirà di produzione.

i3s Edition RoadStyle

La versione speciale della i3s denominata Edition RoadStyle dona all'elettrica compatta di BMW tanta esclusività in più grazie allo specifico colore esterno Fluid Black, impreziosito da alcune finiture color rame. I cerchi sono da 20 pollici. Finiture esclusive anche negli interni con ampio uso di pelle e legno. Meccanicamente la i3s presenta il solito motore elettrico da 181 CV e la batteria da 42,2 kWh, per un'autonomia di poco inferiore ai 250 km; mantenuta anche la cellula per i passeggeri in CFRP. La i3s Edition RoadStyle sarà prodotta in soli 900 esemplari per tutto il mondo.

La nuova versione limitata della i8 celebra la fine della produzione della ibrida plug-in di Monaco, che nel corso di quattro anni di commercializzazione è stata venduta in 17.000 esemplari. Questo speciale allestimento disponibile sia per la coupé che per la roadster si distingue per la verniciatura esterna in Sophisto Grey, alcune finiture rame, le pinze dei freni in nero lucido e per i cerchi con finiture rame da 20 pollici. La produzione della i8 Ultimate Sophisto Edition sarà ancor più limitata rispetto a quella della i3s. Solo 200 gli esemplari che verranno realizzati. La meccanica resta invariata, con una potenza totale di 369 CV per uno scatto da 0 a 100 km/h in poco più di 4 secondi.
