BMW i10: BMW's future electric hatch.
  Heading for a city near you soon, these artist impressions from Germany, show what the new BMW Megacity could look like when it debuts in 2013. Currently referred to as the i10, the vehicle in the drawing gets its inspiration from the 1-Series, but it could be mistaken for a miniature X6. The five-seater will be similar in size to the VW Golf, but the rear-wheel-driven car will be fully electric. Part of a new BMW sub-brand, the 'Megacity' range will be a specialist division comprising solely of electric vehicles. Joining the city-focused car, BMW is als developing a two-wheeler and three-wheeler. Featuring all the latest technologies, the i1 will be very light and also highly aerodynamic too. Nothing has been confirmed about the drivetrain yet, but it is expected to be closely linked to the Concept ActiveE which debuted at the 2010 Detroit Motor Show. BMW has also announced it plans on building a plant in Moses Lake, Washington, which will employ 80 people and this is where a lot of the development will take place. The official transportation provider for the 2012 London Olympics, it is likely prototype versions of the new i-range including the i1 will transport athletes and officials around the Olympic village.

As far as electric hatches go, which typically have the worst designs outside of (the old) GM designs, this one doesn't look bad from the front and side view is great! I prefer it to the 328i.
Good to hear that it's going to be built in the USA too.

Don't care for the angle of the headlights fron the front, but the side view looks like a 1 series gran turismo!
