BMW i3 is available in the following colors: Electric Black, Orange, Alpine White, Silver, Melbourne Red, Mineral Grey, Protonic Blue, and Imperial Blue. The BMW i3 is a compact 5-door, 4-seat hatchback with body dimensions of 4020mm in length, 1775mm in width, 1600mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2570mm. It is equipped with a 170-horsepower single electric motor and a single-speed transmission for electric vehicles. The motor delivers a total power output of 125 kW and a total torque of 250 Nm. The BMW i3 features rear-wheel drive, with a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear.
I've been driving the BMW i3 for almost half a year now, and I was torn about the color choice when selecting the car. The standard color options for this model include Mineral White, Jet Black (which is essentially a premium black), and Mystic Grey - all common choices. There's also the electric-exclusive Portimao Blue that really stands out. At the time, the showroom had a Sunset Orange demo car that turned heads everywhere it went. Personally, I went with Mystic Grey because it hides dirt remarkably well, saving me quite a bit on car washes. I'd recommend visiting a dealership to see the actual colors - there's quite a difference between the official website images and real-life appearance. Metallic paints look especially premium in sunlight, while standard paints fall a bit short. If you're after something more unique, applying a color wrap later is quite cost-effective - I've seen someone with a matte green wrap that looked particularly cool.
