BMW’s Best-Selling Model Is Getting an Electric Reboot

For decades, it’s been BMW AG’s most popular model, a symbol of professional success that allowed owners to show off to their neighbors. Now, the 3-Series sedan is being remade for the electric age.

The German carmaker is debuting the fully electric i3 in Munich on Wednesday, the second offering of its next-generation lineup after the launch of its iX3 sport utility vehicle in September. The new model has many of the same features, including increased charging capacity and a better digital experience.
