BMW i3 Saloon Owners Club
The BMW i3 Saloon (Neue Klasse G50, 2026–) is the first fully electric BMW 3 Series — Gen6 eDrive, 800 V architecture, round cells, Panoramic iDrive and Operating System X. It is not the original i3 hatchback (I01, 2013–2022) and not the China long-wheelbase i3 sedan (G28). Ownership data that matters is derivative identity, battery health, charging history, software stage and high-voltage provenance.
Owners Club · Digital Service History. Know your car. Record its history. Connect with owners. Keep its story. Deep Neue Klasse battery, charging and market-aware service notes live on the i3 hub; this page is the club SERP entry. Independent of BMW AG.
Who's this for?
New i3 Saloon (G50) owners
800 V · Gen6 eDrive · i3 40 xDrive or i3 50 xDrive · Panoramic iDrive / OS X. Keep derivative, battery capacity and DC peak tied to the VIN — UK launch figures are market-labelled, not global law.
Early adopters & First Edition buyers
Preliminary and First Edition figures can differ from later BMW UK sheets. Record the configuration sheet, software version and delivery date so your car’s specification stays provable.
Looking for an older “i3”?
The I01 hatchback (2013–2022) and the China-only G28 LWB sedan are separate models with their own identity. They are not generations of this hub — never copy their specs onto a G50 VIN, or the reverse.

FAQ
- Is there a BMW i3 Saloon owners club?
- Yes. This landing is the free i3 Saloon owners' club on The Owners Club — digital garage, community tools and a deep link into the full Neue Klasse G50 hub. Independent of BMW AG.
- Is the new i3 the same as the old BMW i3 hatchback?
- No. The old i3 (I01, 2013–2022) was a small carbon-fibre city EV hatchback. The new i3 Saloon is the Neue Klasse G50 — a fully electric 3 Series on an 800 V Gen6 architecture. Only the name is shared.
- Do I need to pay to join?
- No — free to start. Garage, service history and Transfer Pack tools are available without a subscription; optional paid extras come later if you want them.
