BMW will open i3 orders this week, months ahead of schedule, as demand takes off

BMW opened orders for its i3 electric vehicle this week, months ahead of its originally planned fall release due to unexpectedly high demand. The company has seen a significant surge in interest for the i3, prompting the accelerated launch. This early opening allows potential buyers to place their orders sooner than anticipated. The i3 is BMW's first mass-produced all-electric car and is positioned as a premium compact vehicle.
