Just in case anyone was wondering how plug-in
BMW cars would be received, the answer is apparently "quite well." After speaking with BMW's global sales chief last week at the
LA Auto Show, Reuters has learned that the plug-in hybrid
i8 sports coupe is already sold out for its first year on the market.
There is no word as to how many i8s BMW sold, but the first example was delivered to a customer last week in Germany. As for the all-electric/range-extended
i3 hatchback, the automaker has received more than 10,000 orders for this model before it even goes on sale. Likewise, we don't know how many BMW plans to sell, but we do know they'll be showing up in the US before next summer.
We've already spent some time behind the wheel of both plug-in BMWs, and you can check out our
first drive of the production i3 and our
first drive of an i8 prototype.
