It’s a perspective on the future: with its latest study, the BMW Vision Neue Klasse, BMW is giving an insight into the coming model generation – and it’s electric, digital and circular for the long term.
This vision vehicle has a clean design language reduced to the essentials, with generous surfaces and a small number of pronounced lines. This puts greater focus on distinctive features such as the BMW kidney grille and the Hofmeister kink in the side window graphic, meaning that the design radiates more BMW than ever. In the interior, the next generation of the BMW iDrive ensures a unique digital user experience, in which the real and virtual worlds blend together.

Black side rockers, flush-mount integrated door openers, and the number 5 engraved on the foot of the C column are also striking features.

The new BMW 7 Series has plenty to offer – and if you look closely, you’ll find not only practical features, but beautiful ones too.
These include the electric motor of the all-electric BMW i7 (Electricity consumption in kWh/100km (WLTP): 19,6 – 18,4 Electric range (WLTP) in km: 590 – 625): the compact construction, whereby the motor, the performance electronics, and the drive all share a built-in case right on the corresponding axle, is impressive. The drives received a new noise encapsulation system and modified storage concept for noiseless acceleration and quiet luxury within the car.
Electric cars have been part of the everyday traffic in some countries for some time now. In Norway, an established charging infrastructure is available to the BMW iX. Nevertheless, the vehicle with its impressive 593-kilometer purely electric reach (WLTP), depending on the model, is ready for any challenge – even if the next charging point is a little further away.

The accent strip is what makes the design of the new BMW XM so unique, and it looks particularly exclusive in the Night Gold accent color and harmonizes with the gold-colored diffuser accents.
The hexagonal M twin tailpipes mounted vertically and the new XM logo also give the rear view a unique impact. The BMW logos lasered onto both sides of the rear window refer to the last “M-only” model – the BMW M1.
The new BMW XM (fuel consumption combined: 1.6–1.5 l/100 km according to WLTP; power consumption combined: 30.1–28.9 kWh/100 km according to WLTP; combined CO2 emissions: 36–33 g/km according to WLTP; data according to NEDC: – ), BMW M GmbH’s first high-performance car with an electrified powertrain, also makes a strong statement in terms of exterior design – with powerdomes on the powerfully sculpted hood.
The side profile picks up on the powerful proportions in the style of a coupé and combines them with design highlights such as the darkest windows in the entire BMW M model range.
The new BMW M2 Coupé (Fuel consumption in l/100 km (combined) 10.2–10.0 (WLTP); CO2 emissions in g/km (combined) 231–226 (WLTP)) raises the bar in its class: maximum sportiness provided by high-performance drive, M chassis and two transmission options. All in all, a unique driving experience is guaranteed.
The pure racing technology for the road was fully put to the test, not least in the final trials at Austria’s Salzburgring. The verdict? Thoroughly impressive driving dynamics and chassis with outstanding characteristics.

The BMW “Hochhaus” is the central headquarters of BMW in Munich. It was designed by architect Karl Schwanzer. It was finished in 1972 and officially inaugurated in 1973. The building represents the BMW pioneering spirit as the company rose to greatness in the late 60s and early 70s. Fifty years later, it still marks the Munich skyline as a beacon for the mobility of tomorrow. Fifty years later, it still marks the Munich skyline as a beacon for the mobility of tomorrow.
It’s a familiar sight to locals and visitors returning to Munich: the BMW Headquarters in the north of the city is just a stone’s throw from the Olympic Stadium (➜ Read also: Four cylinders, five decades of modernity).
The new BMW i7 (Electricity consumption in kWh/100km (WLTP): 19,6 – 18,4 Electric range (WLTP) in km: 590 – 625) sparkles like no other vehicle. This is due in no small part to the innovative crystal headlights, which were produced in collaboration with the renowned traditional jewellery manufacturer Swarovski.
Mexican artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer has created a huge light installation in Switzerland, inspired by the BMW i7, at this year’s Art Basel fair (➜ Read also: Visualizing the invisible).
The new face of the BMW i7 is defined partly by the luminous kidney contour, but above all by the headlights being divided into two, one above the other. The crystals, two pairs each, are located in the upper spotlight along their entire length. Individually controlled LEDs are behind this, creating an irregular, lively glow. They form the daytime running light and the indicator light (➜ Read also: The new light on the road).
The high beam and low beam discreetly nestle in the lower area. During the day, they almost look like air intakes and clearly offset the crystals in the upper headlight.
“A company is like a person. If it is sporty, it is fit, enthusiastic, capable,” said Robert A. Lutz, former member of the Board of Management of BMW M GmbH when the company was founded in 1972.
