Jan. 16, 2014 - PRLog -- On Wednesday, January 29, BMW product specialists will be filling everyone in on all the exciting details regarding the innovative new 2014 BMW i3 (http://www.motorwerksbmwbarrington.com/2014-bmw-i3-electric.htm) at Motor Werks BMW in Barrington, IL. The dealership will be hosting the event from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Appetizers and refreshments will be served.

This event will be a wonderful opportunity for drivers throughout the Chicago area to get up close and personal with the car that is redefining urban mobility. With experts on hand to answer questions, participants will be able to test drive the new i3 and learn more about the unique charging system that has become the talk of the industry.

The 2014 BMW i3 is an all-electric compact hatchback designed specifically for city driving. With a total length of only 157 inches, finding a downtown parking space should be a breeze.

BMW vehicles are known for their meticulous craftsmanship, and there’s plenty of that to find in the i3. Its surprisingly spacious and refined interior, which comfortably seats up to four passengers, features door panels and upholstery made entirely from sustainable materials, while a quarter of the interior plastic is from recycled sources.

But it is what powers the BMW i3 that really makes it special. Its 125-kWh electric motor delivers the equivalent of 170 hp with 184 lb-ft of torque, and has a top speed of 93 mph. With the BMW i charging station, the vehicle can be fully charged in approximately three hours.

Chicago area drivers eager to get behind the wheel of this innovative all-electric hatchback should make a point to attend the BMW i3 event at Motor Werks BMW. Those who wish to attend are asked to RSVP by January 24 by calling 847-304-3090 or by emailing lruscitti@motorwerks.com.
