Taking inspiration from BMW's Vision Driving Experience, Sugar Design has imagined what a future i3 wagon could look like

BMW has started preparing the mid-cycle refresh of the G90 M5, which makes us miss the F90 and F10 even more. What the heck is going on with BMW?

BMW has some exciting new electric vehicle battery and charging technology that we will see on the Neue Klasse models starting later this year.

BMW will implement a number of revisions to its latest battery technology, which will show up in the Neue Klasse–based EVs like the next-generation i3 sedan and iX3 crossover. The so-called BMW Gen6 battery – which as its name suggests is the company's sixth iteration of EV technology – will feature a 30 percent longer range than the existing unit found in cars like the BMW i5 and iX,

BMW’s taking what it calls a ‘technology-open approach’ with the Neue Klasse, giving rise to a variety of electric motor layouts - though don’t expect any front-wheel drive BMW EVs to directly replace the current BMW 1 Series. That’s because while single-motor power will be offered, it’ll be mounted on the rear only to drive the rear wheels.

Gen6 debuts in this year’s Neue Klasse iX3 but Rolls and Mini also get it. We’ve already got a pretty good idea what BMW’s Neue Klasse cars will look like both inside and out thanks to a couple of previous concepts and a Land of the Giants interior mock-up at this year’s CES in Vegas.
