2017 BMW i3: every variant sold in Australia
6 variants of the BMW i3 carry the 2017 model year in our catalogue — the I01 generation. Specs, safety, economy and standard equipment for every grade, side by side.
The 2017 BMW i3 is no longer sold new in Australia. A price is shown only where we hold BMW's own printed price for that variant: what it cost new, not a current offer or a used value. Specifications are kept for used-buyer research. See the current BMW i3.

Equipment across the 2017 range
Four states, never three. Standard means the document prints it as standard on that grade. Optional means it is a factory extra, at the price the document prints. No means the document confirms it is not available. No data means we have not read it off a BMW document yet, which is not the same as saying the car does not have it.

Not yet read off a BMW document for any 2017 variant: AEB, Blind-spot monitor, Android Auto. Left out of the table rather than shown as a column of “No data”; it is not a “No”.
What changed from the 2015 i3
No 2015 grade we hold carries into 2017 under the same name, body, gearbox and drive, so the change is shown as the line-up itself rather than as price or spec moves on a guessed pairing. A grade listed below as in one year’s rows only may be a grade we have not added yet rather than one BMW added or dropped; the variant table above is what we hold for 2017.
In our 2017 rows, not our 2015 rows: 94Ah, 94Ah (7Z22), 94Ah Range Extender, 94Ah Range Extender (7Z42), i3s 94Ah (7Z62), i3s 94Ah Range Extender (7Z82).
In our 2015 rows, not our 2017 rows: Range Extender, i3.

Where a figure has not been read off a source document it reads “No data” rather than a zero or a dash, and an equipment column reads “No” only where a document confirms the feature is not available. Full specs, the source for each variant and a side-by-side configurator for every BMW i3 variant, including other model years, are on the model page.
