BMW IN FORMULA E.
Seven electrifying years.
At the Formula E season finale, the BMW i Berlin E-Prix, the brand bids farewell to the first all-electric race series in the world. As partner, BMW has accompanied, supported and believed in Formula E from its inception, first as Official Vehicle Partner, then later as a manufacturer with the BMW i Andretti Motorsport team. This unique chapter is now coming to an end after seven years. What remains are successes, incredible memories and experiences, and the realisation that BMW is part of Formula E history and Formula E is part of BMW Motorsport history. What remains are emotions and images from seven electrifying years, which are worth recalling.
SAISON 1-4.
The birth of Formula E.
A new era has begun. Zero hour for the first all-electric race series in the world. The first ever Formula E race is held in Beijing. In the thick of the action is BMW i as Official Vehicle Partner. While the BMW i8* is in action as the safety car, the BMW i3** takes on the role of medical car.

From the start, the driving force for BMW i and BMW Motorsport for getting involved in Formula E is the development of innovative technologies in the field of electric mobility with relevance for series production. The same technical experts who develop the series production drive for the BMW i models are also working on the drive train for the Formula E car, sometimes in the same production plants.
