BMW has announced that its new i3 electric city car will be sold through a network of 46 dealers when it reaches the UK later this year.
The i3 will be the first model sold under BMW's new 'i' sub-brand and will be joined next year by the new plug-in hybrid i8 sports car, which will also be sold through the BMW dealer network.
The new i3 is BMW's first fully-electric production car and features an all-aluminium chassis and a passenger cell formed of carbon-fibre.
