BMW offers 9,000 euros discount by switching from diesel to fully electric

MW is committed to an electric future, therefore, they are now introducing an environmental bonus worth 9,000 euros. To get the full amount, one would have to switch from a BMW or MINI diesel with the Euro 4 or Euro 5 emissions standard to a clean BMW i3 as a new car.

The BMW environmental bonus is paired with a state environmental bonus in order to reach the full amount.
