BMW i8 Sales Figures

BMW i8 Sales Data & Trends

Here you will find monthly and yearly U.S and Europe sales figures for the BMW i8. We all know electric vehicles are the future and BMW is going all out to be at the forefront of this monumental market shift. The BMW Group offers a total of seven electrified vehicles, the broadest range of any manufacturer, selling across the BMW brand as well as Mini too. BMW has a sub brand that it calls the “i-series” for vehicles that stand on their own (vs being part of the traditional 3, 5, 7 series model ranges). In BMWs case today that is two models, the BMW i3 and the BMW i8.

Our Take On BMW i8 Sales Numbers

BMW has spent a lot of money and time on electric vehicle technology and it shows with the delivery of over 62,000 electrified vehicles in 2016 across the group. Recently, BMW announced new car architecture to enable ‘electrification of every model series’. The company has announced that all brands and model series can be electrified, with a full-electric or plug-in hybrid drivetrain being offered in addition to the combustion engine option. Additional electrified models will be brought to market in the coming years and beyond 2020, the company’s next generation vehicle architecture will enable further fully-electric vehicles.

Sales of BMW Group electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles increased 9.2 percent to 11,672 through August 2017, accounting for 5.2 percent of total BMW brand sales in the U.S. In addition the numbers you see on this page which counts only the BMW i3 and BMW i8, the broader growth also comes from electric and hybrid offerings from across its standard model portfolio including BMW i Performance models: BMW 330e, BMW 530e, BMW 740e and the BMW X5 xDrive 40e. BMW has said that they see electric cars being better integrated into the core offerings and allowing the special “i” branded cars to be more aggressive and niche.
