BMW (XETRA: BMWG.DE)* said today that the two-millionth fully-electric vehicle was handed over to new owner in August since the first BMW i3 launched in late 2013. Approximately 3.5 million electrified vehicles have now been delivered to customers.
“Selling two million BEVs underlines how BMW and MINI models are winning over customers worldwide. In Europe, the positive development has continued since the market launch of the BMW iX3*, and we will soon be reaching the milestone of 100,000 new orders. This shows the tremendous importance of the Neue Klasse for the ongoing ramp-up of electromobility at the BMW Group,” said Jochen Goller, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG responsible for Customer, Brands, Sales.
During the second quarter of 2026, European sales of BEV vehicles climbed steeply as availability of the BMW iX3 increased, with the company recording 38% growth to 81,445 units. During the first half of 2026, fully-electric vehicles accounted for ~28% of total sales on the company’s home continent. Since the world premiere of the BMW iX3, one in three fully-electric BMW vehicles ordered in Europe has been a BMW iX3. Within the X3 family, one out of every two vehicles ordered is already a fully-electric iX3.
The two-millionth fully-electric vehicle, a BMW i5 M60 xDrive*, was produced at Plant Dingolfing and delivered to a customer in Spain. BMW Group Plant Munich began series production of the new BMW i3 in August. High demand is leading to a steep ramp-up curve at the plant. “The second Neue Klasse model, the BMW i3, is already seeing strong demand since orders opened ahead of its market launch,” Goller said.
