Learn how BMW's innovative ActiveE works!

While there are unique features specific to the BMW ActiveE and electromobility, the pure, on-road exhilaration inherent to every Ultimate Driving Machine® is the same — minus the tailpipe emissions, of course.

The BMW ActiveE begins with an impressive start. Its synchronous motor develops full torque from a standstill to accelerate from 0–60 mph in under 9 seconds.* That’s an instantaneous 184 lb-ft of torque with up to 170 hp.

Positioned directly on the rear axle, this electric motor has no clutch, or conventional gearbox. This enables it to deliver seamless, uninterrupted torque at all speeds. The unique position of the motor also accommodates newly developed lithium-ion batteries that facilitate a driving range of up to 100 miles on a full charge.
