First Body Kit For BMW i3 Electric Car: Looks Tougher, Probably Less Efficient

It had to happen eventually.

Many car owners have a strong desire to personalize their vehicles, and BMW buyers may be among the most enthusiastic when it comes to modifications.

So while the BMW i3 electric car is more about efficiency than showing off, perhaps it's not too surprising that there is now a body kit available for it.

According to BMW Blog, this aggressive-looking car is called the EVO i3, and it was put together in Japan.

The body kit includes fender flares, a rear diffuser, and a new front bumper with large air intakes.

Given that the i3 has no internal-combustion engine or radiator behind that front bumper, those intakes don't seem to serve a practical function.

The makeover is completed by custom 20-inch wheels in gunmetal grey with blue trim--meant to match the blue rings on the BMW twin-kidney "grille," presumably.
