It looks round, and tiny. Very tiny, which is a good thing I guess.

When we think BMW, FWD - we think B M W....

Though when FWD means BMW vacuum cleaner, cute, petite and electric city fashion mobile badged BMW i.e. the Aston Martin Cygnet...it's starting to make sense...maybe?

I must have been at one (or several) Bierhaus when it aired.
Just one question? is it a man or woman or hybrid?

ahh yes... The trademark Isetta start-up rattle. You never know, the new one could have that as a historic character quirk...

BMW i10

Artist impressions give indication of BMW's future electric hatch.

Heading for a city near you soon, these artist impressions from Germany, show what the new BMW Megacity could look like when it debuts in 2013. Currently referred to as the i10, the vehicle in the drawing gets its inspiration from the 1-Series, but it could be mistaken for a miniature X6.

The five-seater will be similar in size to the VW Golf, but the rear-wheel-driven car will be fully electric. Part of a new BMW sub-brand, the 'Megacity' range will be a specialist division comprising solely of electric vehicles. Joining the city-focused car, BMW is als developing a two-wheeler and three-wheeler. Featuring all the latest technologies, the i10 will be very light and also highly aerodynamic too.

Nothing has been confirmed about the drivetrain yet, but it is expected to be closely linked to the Concept ActiveE which debuted at the 2010 Detroit Motor Show.

BMW has also announced it plans on building a plant in Moses Lake, Washington, which will employ 80 people and this is where a lot of the development will take place.

The official transportation provider for the 2012 London Olympics, it is likely prototype versions of the new i-range including the i1 will transport athletes and officials around the Olympic village.

 

[vabboud]

doesn't hyundai own the i10 nameplate?

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

A surefire smash hit if it looks like that.
