THE SUSTAINABLE LIFE CYCLE OF BMW i.

01. DEVELOPMENT

• Lightweight carbon 󷴲 ber construction

to minimize weight.

• Ef󷴲 cient drive technology and perfect

aerodynamics – resulting in less wind

resistance.

04. RECYCLING

• Re-use of battery modules, for example as

temporary storage units for solar energy.

• Recycling carbon 󷴲 bers by returning them

to the production process.

03. UTILIZATION

• Optimal ef󷴲 ciency thanks to the

innovative BMW eDrive technology.

• A combination of an electric drive

system for emission-free driving and

a BMW TwinPower Turbo engine for

maximum performance.

02. PRODUCTION

• Use of renewable electricity for

the production of BMW i vehicles.

• Reduction of energy and water

consumption in production.

FOR OVER THREE QUARTERS OF A

CENTURY, THE BASIC IDEA BEHIND THE

CAR WAS LEFT UNTOUCHED.

Until now. BMW i has launched a groundbreaking sports car with a

wide range of technological innovations – the BMW i8. The innovative

BMW eDrive technology effectively combines an electric motor with

a BMW TwinPower Turbo engine (hybrid electric vehicle). The result

is a breathtaking plug-in hybrid sports car with the fuel consumption

and emissions of a compact vehicle.

The weight of the BMW i8 is a result of the Life module – the passen-

ger cell made of light and extremely robust carbon 󷴲ber. It substantially

reduces the weight of the vehicle and has a signi󷴲cant impact on the

design of the BMW i8. The principle of intelligent lightweight design has

also been applied to all other components of the BMW i8. Moreover,

stream󷴳ow aerodynamics reduce drag and energy consumption.

With its dynamic proportions and sporty, progressive design, the BMW i8

embodies lightness – as well as ef󷴲ciency and sheer driving pleasure.

The development process itself is the 󷴲rst of many innovations. In order

to ensure that the BMW i8 is a truly sustainable product, measurable

targets were de󷴲ned at the design phase and throughout the entire life

cycle of the vehicle, from the extraction of raw materials, production

and use to recycling and the end of product life. The deliberate use of

recycled and environmentally friendly materials in production guarantees

holistic sustainability throughout the entire value chain.

The interior features premium sustainable materials.

Approximately 20% of the thermoplastics in the interior

are produced using recycled or renewable materials.

THE BMW i8: FORGED BY THE POWER

OF WIND AND WATER.

Sustainability plays a crucial role for the BMW i8, and the same is true

for the production process. All of the electricity required for the manu-

facturing process in the BMW i Plant in Leipzig is produced from renewa-

ble sources.

BMW has been leading the way in sustainable production

for a long time now, but BMW i has gone even further and signi󷴲cantly

improved its facilities. The BMW i plant in Leipzig produces its own re-

newable electricity from wind power – directly on the factory premises

– and

operates on 100% clean electric power with zero emissions. It

also

features signi󷴲cantly reduced resource consumption.

Similarly, the carbon 󷴲ber production facility located in Moses Lake

(USA) is powered completely by renewable electricity from the large

number of hydroelectric plants in the area.

For BMW i sustainable production has not only an environmental

dimension but a social one as well, creating future-proof job pro󷴲les

and training BMW i’s suppliers to comply with advanced sustain-

ability standards.

A SUSTAINABLE COMBINATION:

INTELLIGENT ENERGY MANAGEMENT

FOR INSPIRING PERFORMANCE AND

OPTIMUM EFFICIENCY.

BMW has been pursuing its Ef󷴲cientDynamics strategy for more than

a decade. However, no other vehicle combines driving pleasure and

sustainability like the BMW i8. Equipped with innovative BMW eDrive

technology that intelligently combines an internal combustion engine

with an electric drive system, the BMW i8 offers maximum perfor-

mance and sustainable ef󷴲ciency.

In an urban environment, the BMW i8 offers a range of up to 37 kilo-

meters when traveling on electric power only. For longer distances,

support is provided by the BMW TwinPower Turbo engine – with an

especially intense boost feature in SPORT mode or maximum ef󷴲ciency

in ECO PRO mode. A predictive power management system developed

speci󷴲cally for the BMW i8 ensures optimal settings for the two drive

units at all times.

Additionally, every driver can also help to optimize sustainability when

recharging the car: if renewable energy is used to charge the battery,

CO² emissions are reduced even further. Therefore, BMW i recom-

mends green electricity suppliers to make an even greater contributi-

on to environmental protection.
