BMW has an unbelievably strong brand in both cars and motorcycles, but the two rarely meet.
That could be about to change with reports that BMW’s new i3 luxury electric citycar will get a range–extending engine borrowed from BMW Motorrad.
Where else would be better to look for a powerful but compact engine than from BMW’s own motorcycle range?While the BMW i3 is set to be an electric citycar, a range extender motor would make it a more flexible option for those doing short commutes, and therefore it could be a more attractive model.
Currently the engine is said to be available as an optional extra, and it will possibly be borrowed from the BMW F series bikes.
Alternatively, you could just actually purchase an F series bike and enjoy the 798cc, 75-hp engine anyway.
More fun? Most likely, and probably more economic, too.
