BMW showcased Mini electric design

BMW AG showcased the all-electric Mini design. In July, the Munich-based automotive giant confirmed a three-door Mini electric version will begin production at the Cowley plant in Oxford in 2019 where it has conducted extensive field tests since 2008. BMW says the new Mini Electric uses powerful motors and will unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month.

The Mini E concept maintains an ancestral appearance including a circular headlamp and carries many design cues that indicate the electrical lineage. Silver and yellow color schemes also form the foundation on the BMW i3.
