Just two months before the car makes its official debut in Frankfurt, BMW's first purpose-built all-electric vehicle is making its appearance in patent images. We've been following the i3 even since it was first shown as a concept almost two years ago.

Power will come from a rear-mounted electric motor producing 170 hp and 250 Nm (184 lb-ft). For additional range, you can specify the car with a 0.65-liter two-cylinder motorcycle engine that can recharge the battery.
