BMW has completed its first running with the new 'Gen2' Formula E car that will make its rac🐬ing debut at the start of Season 5 upon the German♛ manufacturer's full arrival in the series.

BMW has been working closely with current Formula E team Andretti for some time, but will u🃏pscale the relationship to become a f🦂ull works team for Formula E's fifth season, set to start this November.

The new Gen2 Formula E chassis was formally unveiled last month at the Geneva Motor Show ahead of the first collective on-track🌼 test later❀ in the month, which BMW was forced to miss.

The new BMW iFE.18 🎃car broke cover for the first time this week at BMW's driver academy at Maisach, with current Andretti driver Tom Blomqvist completing some running.

"The BMW iFE.18 is a milestone for our company. After months of excellent collaboration between the engineers from production and 💞racing development, we can all now see the result in action,𒐪" BMW director of motorsport Jens Marquardt said.

"This Formula E project has seen the most remarkable technology transfer between production and motorsport in the history of BMW. Eve♔ryone involved has bre𒉰athed life into the ‘TechLab for BMW i’ motto from the word go.

"I can hardly wait to see the car racing for the first time in t♐he BMW i Motorsport colours when Season 5 gets going."

BMW confirmed it🎀 wꩵill be present with the new car for the next collective Formula E test, taking place in Calafat, Spain from April 17-19.
