BMW skinny tyres and wheels


A BMW with skinny wheels and tyres?
You’d better believe it because not only do they save weight, they also provide improved rolling resistance and aerodynamics – and they are going to be fitted to BMW’s first series-produced electric car to help improve range.
Called the i3, this urban runabout will be powered by a 125kW electric motor that allows it to accelerate from 0-62mph in less than eight seconds.
