How BMW Is Speeding into the Future: the 2027 i3 50 Electric Sedan

Published on Oct 21, 2026 by Schomp BMW

Increased gas prices are driving interest in electric and hybrid vehicles. The 2027 BMW i3 50 xDrive sedan is BMW’s latest entry, kicking to the next level BMW’s iconic BMW 3 Series, which has excited drivers for five decades with its sporty design and drivability, outstanding handling, advanced technology, and impeccable German engineering.
Electric + 3 Series = Big excitement! Reservations are being taken now for the 2027 i3, expected at Schomp BMW before the end of the year, with a quad-motor electric M version coming not long after. 


Will you be one of the early adopters? 


The Top Line
This is the second model in the BMW Neue Klasse. Expect the full-on BMW 3 Series experience, but with an electric edge:

 

  • Dual-motor all-wheel-drive 
  • 463 hp with 476 lb-ft of torque
  • Zero-60 mph in 4.5 seconds
  • Estimated range of 446-468 miles
  • New generation, 800-volt technology offering 400 kW ultra-fast DC charging of 10%-80% in 21 minutes
  • Bi-directional charging offering charging capacity for other devices or your home


But Wait! There’s More!
Everyone in automotive acknowledges size creep over the years. The 2027 i3 is only a smidgeon larger than the current 3 Series. It’s only 1.5 inches longer and wider. And the exterior is both sporty and elegant, with the dynamically designed sharp hood, flared wheel arches, illuminated kidney grille, and integrated headlights, as well as 19-, 20-, and available 21-inch M wheels. Eight different colors are available, along with six interior color combinations. 


Inside, the new BMW Panoramic iDrive features a 17.9-inch customizable central display and an optional 3D Head-up Display, running on BMW’s Operating System X. BMW’s AI-enabled Intelligent Personal Assistant uses Amazon Alexa technology and can answer questions and help with tasks. 


The “Heart of Joy” central control computers bring all functions together: drivetrain, brakes, energy recuperation, and more, offering lightning-quick response and maximizing the 2027 i3 sedan’s driving system. BMW Dynamic Performance Control delivers smooth, precise handling and driving dynamics. 


This is your chance to join the new wave of electrified BMWs. BMW has successfully resolved the worries about range anxiety: there are more than 180,000 charging points across North America, pinpointed with the My BMW App; charge overnight at home using 120v or 240v household outlets – we provide the adapter, or install your own BMW Wallbox Plus. 

 

Reserve your 2027 BMW i3 50 xDrive sedan now, and you could be driving yours by the New Year.
