BMW
i3 Shadow Sport limited edition
BMW
is bringing a special edition i3 called Shadow Sport to the USA. That tag refers to the special-edition Bimmers that come equipped
with a moon roof, which before this was unavailable in the USA. Only 50
lucky customers will get them.
The
Shadow Sport edition comes with a few other goodies, too, including
"fluid" black paint, 19-inch alloy wheels, custom-trim interior and
sport-tuned suspension, though there are no changes in the electric motor or
performance. That means the same single-charge range of 81 miles, the same 0-60
miles per hour acceleration time of seven seconds flat and the same top speed
of 93 miles per hour.
The Shadow Sport will also have a price of US$ 47,400, or US$ 5,000 more than the base model i3. That all 50 Shadow Sports have been sold, with the first 40
selling out in the first hour or so of availability. The Shadow Sport is now on
display at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
