About these figures

Specifications are sourced from the Auto-Data.net reference dataset and reflect manufacturer figures, typically WLTP or NEDC. Real-world range is usually 15 to 25 per cent lower than WLTP; see our real-world range guide. Charging speeds, prices and UK availability are not included in this dataset. For hands-on verdicts, home charging tests and running costs, see our BMW brand hub or use the car finder.
