The i3 Coupe comes with the same 2,570mm wheelbase than the five-door, but is lower and wider. It has the floating roof design, with no B-pillar, a longer door and stepped shoulder line. This enhances the rear glass area, which according to the company makes the visibility of rear passengers outstanding, something that's always criticised in city cars.
The BMW i3 Concept Coupe design emphasises dynamism and sheer driving pleasure. Since there's no transmission tunnel, the cabin offers plenty of space, with two individual seats in the rear side. Up front, you can BMW has offered the familiar iDrive dial. A 6.5-inch screen replaces the traditional instrument cluster and an 8.8-inch display – used for the sat-nav and infotainment controls – sticks out from the dash.
On the inside, the company has used a lot of natural resources like the European eucalyptus wood that underscore the premium standard of BMW i. The leather used in the interior is tanned using a natural agent derived from olive leaves. The olive leaf extract provides natural protection against fading and wear while giving the leather a unique look and unmistakable character. The car also uses cowhide from southern Germany which is not only environmentally friendly, but also produced for maximum durability. Further, the wood used in the dashboard is made entirely of timber grown in Europe and certified as 100 per cent sourced from responsible forestry.
